Post when XPS M1330 ordered and when/if shipped

yep sorry man for that, i didn't pay attention at first time i though it was an integrated card with dells only since there is no option !

 

I am hoping it is in BIOS

 

check this:
http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/lojack-for-laptops/

 

No problem, just wanted to make sure no one got excited thinking they were getting free Intel Turbo Memory on their new M1330.

 

Yes, HDMI IN GENERAL carries audio, which I think the manual is saying (rather misleadingly). However, I doubt it does on the M1330. Page 57 even says you have to connect a cable from the headphone jack to twin-RCA cables to get audio.

 

Well, it does generally carry audio, but for some of the laptop in the market, they don't. And I read the information from the Chinese version of the manual that the M1330's HDMI does carry audio, which is different form the description in the English manual...Weird

 

Bad news, a typhoon just sunk the ship carrying all the LCDs that Dell was planning on using for their 13 in laptops. Apparently, it's the same typhoon that's going to be hammering my house in a few hours.

No, just kidding, no sunken ships, but there's a typhoon just outside my house

 

i was hoping that too but its not, talked to a rep and they said it was just the software and not a bios integration

 

not noticeable performance increase don't get excited even when u get it

 

Interesting I was just checking order status before bed, and it says "No recent orders" I wonder if they are updating the system with all our tracking numbers!!! lol why do I do this to myself.

 

ya you can catch it in the task manager running processes

 

BIOS integration is nearly impossible if u ask me... (i'm thinking technically too...) .... I think a hidden/unknown process is more reasonable and idealistic.

 

Cause... ur in love with the m1330. LOL...

 

d00d i ordered mine on june 27th and my dell login has never stopped saying this

 

Same here.

 

You scared the crap out of me

 

I ordered my m1330 from australian website on 2-Jul-2007. Up until today the ETA was 16-Jul-2007. BAD NEWS - i got an email that its been delayed the new ETA is 7-Aug-2007. Has anyone got thiers yet?

:-((

 

Mine is currently, Pre-Production with a ship date of 8/29...no changes yet!

 

mine went from pre production to in production eastimated ship date did not change, still the 29th of july. I ordered on june 27th

 

this is very depressing...

 

it's ok.. We'll all in the same boat. The pre-production boat :/

 

Re: Lojack/Computrace in BIOS:

"The Company's Computrace software is embedded in the BIOS of computers by global leaders, including Dell..." from http://www.lojackforlaptops.com/pdf/L4L_PR_nov16_06.pdf
(a document which contains "forward looking statements"!)

That claim is regurgitated elsewhere online.

See also http://www.absolute.com/partners/dell.asp
"Dell ships computers with Computrace embedded in the BIOS. The BIOS placement provides the highest level of computer theft recover, data protection and secure asset tracking because it allows the Computrace Agent to survive operating system re-installations, hard drive reformats and even hard drive replacements."

I have a hunch that the BIOS part might not contain the active agent itself but might re-install the agent in the case of a hard disk change.

 

I ordered mine today, and the preliminary ship date is 9/4. I figured that since I have to wait that long overnight shipping isn't going to do me much good. So, delivery date is 9/11.

I hope the build date is able to be pushed up.

Ouch!

 

sept now? ouch

 

Every time the delivery date gets more delayed a puppy dies somewhere....

You want to save the puppies don't you Michael Dell?

 

Holy crap, this typhoon is now directly over our house in Okinawa. Our dogs really need to go out but it's blowing. The eye should go over Kadena shortly so I'll be able to let them out.

It's currently comparable to a cat 5 hurricane.

 

Stay safe and don't let your Dell's get wet

 

That sucks


Jesus must really hate you

 

I have been in your shoes......spent two years up at Camp Schwab

 

Cat 5 hurricanes are really not all that bad, when you make your buildings out of concrete. Why can't we do that back in the states, that would save the country billions in damage. Still waiting for the eye, any minute now.

 

You're a good man. Do any scuba diving while you were here?

 

Oh yea, not much to do up there cept drink in the club, and play around on the beach.

 

Hehe. I love this assignment. Just need to know the places to go. The Sushi is great here too

 

I was in Tokyo in 2002, ate sushi for breakfast at the fish markets.....doesn't get much better than that!

I had a lot of fun on the rock, thats why I volunteered to go back

 

I was told by an XPS rep that there was an internal email confirming that XPS m1330's from June 26th had already started shipping...I hope this means we'll get some updates on our own status tonight!

 

Has urs even left pre production

Cause im sitting on m1330

 

I ordered mine on the 30th of June and it's still in pre-production

 

I ordered on the 26th as well. Still in pre-production.

 

How often and when does Dell update order status ?

 

Ordered: 7/5
Expected Ship Date: 8/27
Expected Delivery Date: 8/28

I got every feature that would delay the ship date, apparently ... LED display, 8400M GS, fingerprint reader, 802.11n wireless ...

I called Dell to complain about the ship time, since I need the laptop before school starts, and 3-5 day shipping would go right into the first day of college (yeah, no good), so they upgraded me to free overnight shipping.

 

This is how valuable the order status system is....

Estimated Ship Date: on or before 06/07/2007

Ya ok!!!!

 

i just got a random call earlier from a Dell's manager telling me that my order is upto date and my order is clear and that my esitmated ship date is still by 7.29.07 or EARLIER, she said that she would keep me updated and call me back monday.... got her to admit that they would be shipping earlier...so there is hope that mine would ship monday.... just a nice thought don't crush it please... LOL

Order Date: 6/27/2007
Shipping Method: Next Business Day
Est. Ship Date: 7/29/2007
Est. Delivery Date: 7/30/2007

 

We're all trying to grasp on to something! I ordered my m1330 16 days ago...and I've yet to have any confirmed update on its whereabouts or anything!

 

Dell took your money

0WN3D

 

They did not bill my credit yet. And I would be pissed if they did bill me and then not ship anything for 3 weeks.

 

i just got a random call earlier from a George Bush telling me that my order is upto date and my order is clear and that my estimated ship date is still by 7.29.07 or EARLIER, Mr Bush said that he would keep me updated and call me back monday.... got him to admit that they would be shipping earlier (dont tell the CIA)...so there is hope that mine would ship monday.... just a nice thought don't crush it please... LOL

Note: This message will self destruct in 5 seconds (actually its quite longer than that according to Dell)

K.....Dont get mad Im just playin around a bit... we get so carried away with delivery status here

 

Ironically

He called me too.. and said He was gonna pull the troops out of Iraqi.. and unpardon Libby

 

They actually billed my Dell card a few days ago.

 

LOL i was kidding though... just trying to help and keep people inform and updated...

 

my status changed from pre production to in production today,
order date 6/27
est ship 7/29
delivery 7/30
the shipping dates did not change... ohh well, I dont want to build up too much expectations, so as far as im concerned they just started building my laptop and still needs to test it and box it. I doubt im getting it any time soon.
