Post when XPS M1330 ordered and when/if shipped

Looks like they're trying to get more accurate with the ship dates...

 

wow arch u ordered yesterday and ur in production........wait u mean build or just in production cause that couold mean pre production too.......haha.....not that it makes a difference apparently........

 

It should make a difference... but I don't know anymore.

 

No new post in 40 minutes..gah..refreshing this page is almost as addicting as checking my order status lol

 

Oh good, so I'm not the only one doing that.

Edit: I'm contemplating on whether I should go up to the T7300 seeing as I practically upgraded to the high-end on everything else. However, I do not want to see my ship date slip any more just for a small bump in specifications... any advice?

 

Not only does the online site only say "in production" but, as far as I know, Canadians have no number to call for automated order status. It's all mystery.

 

As much as it'd suck to have your shipping date bumped, it'd suck even more to regret for years not upgrading your processor. Personally, I'd rather wait a bit longer to get my laptop and get what I want.

 

Your right... I do want this to have what I want since I'm paying $2000+ US for it. I've regretted not getting the top parts for my now dearly departed Gateway m320x

It was a great light-weight, but strong laptop...

 

Guys I dont know but my delivery date is on the 27th of July. I just sent an email to dell asking them to send my laptop as early as they can. And he replied me like this:The Notebook was put on a Priolist and will be shipped as soon as
possible...

I still dont understand what does a Priolist means?

 

Indlish for Priority List.

 

rofl monkey

 

sounds like its short for PRIOrityLIST
which could mean one of two things:
1. You were special enough to make the cut for this so called list if it is infact a priority list.....or...
2. Just another way of saying yes you are "special" and to make you feel even more "special" I will tell you its on its way faster even though its really not

 

well, good to know anyway that they are sending it earlier anyway. The most imortant thing for me to send it ASAP!!!. haha

 

You live in Deutschland so it should get there earlier than us United States customers.

 

random question...after reading that posted link about how/where someones laptop was made....any idea where all the 1330's are being put together at?

 

For the US customers... I believe its Malaysia

 

Horrible...Houston to Austin is 2 hours...maybe I can call in and tell them to build mine over in Austin and just go pick it up, lol

 

I was reading somewhere that the same people that make the Macbook are making this. But I can not remember where or if it even seemed accurate.

 

Would be funny if somehow a MB got shipped in a dell box

 

LOL... well... if anything, that would prolly delay your order MORE since your order is already in BUILD stage .

 

Funny as in "WTH is this POS!"

 

Interestingly odd....

When I call in and give individual order numbers, two of my orders are in pre-production with shipping dates of 8/13 and 8/23. My other order, the notebook itselt, is in production and is in the build stage and is scheduled for 8/23 shipping date.

When I call in and give my 13 digit purchase id, ALL orders are in the pre-production stage and they ALL have estimated ship dates of 8/14. What the fruit?!?!

Are we being duped by Dell? Maybe they did just shove everyone into "build" just to shut us up. I would imagine that the two order systems would be synchronized.

 

Not sure... I also am in a similar situation. I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow before I ask a CSR or someone.

 

I still have yet to believe my order is really building.

I'm waiting till' someone tells me theirs is shipped before I believe what I hear from that automated temptress from hell.

 

I wouldn't believe shipped either... real pictures with the lappie in ur hands... that's what we need.

 

I cancelled my previous order so that I could make some adjustments to the config of my build. The ship date did not change at all, considering that the previous order was yesterday. When I finished up re-configuring my order and submitted it, the phone status update reported that it is in the "Build" phase. Thats very quick, but it doesn't change the fact that I have to wait two months to get it.

Current ship date: September 6th, 2007

 

Hopefully more people go into BOXING tomorrow... and shipped by the end of the week.

I noticed that our "statuses" (besides being shipped) gets updated every morning. So I (almost) gave up on checking on my order... for now.

 

Yea, thats all I needed to hear I think.

I won't be seeing my laptop for a while yet. Not that I expected to. lol

 

When I get a tracking number I will be happy. Unless they just have me tracking that damn Lojack software CD all over the place.

 

Its the sad truth but lots of us are in the same boat. On the bright side, seeing all this enthusiasm in getting this laptop will make us appreciate it even more. "Patience is a virtue."

 

Well... depending on your order, it might be shipped WITH your laptop (not sure though). That'd be funny though...

 

1) get lowjack software
2) track your damn 1330 via lowjack
3) watch it slowly progress through the dell assembly line
4) die of anticipation

 

DAMN! We're going about this all wrong!

We need to track down those SOB's from the INSIDE!

Covert Ops style..

 

I made an order on 7/15 and it turns out it really was two. The standard power cord is a serpeate order. So, today I looked up my customer ID no, and there are six orders under it. 3 laptops and 3 cords. It looks like everyday the order gets re-entered. Anyone else get this?

 

Waitttttttt... you ordered ONE laptop but you have three? Um.... thats a little weird.

 

just an update for you guys i got the White led backlight display and guess what it has a ship date 3-4 days after my last one 8/13

 

That's awesome.... your ship date is 4 days BEFORE mine.... but that means mine will probably ship earlier .

 

Thats great news! hopefully thats just one more confirmation that everything is actually in the building process

 

LOL, you might end up with 3 laptops... I'd call up Dell's customer service to make sure they do not charge you 3 times over, plus rob 2 other people of their laptop orders.

I've cancelled my order 3 times so far and it has taken the web site a day or 2 to update itself. Now on my 4th order, and plan to stick with this config.

 

Yes I know. I emailed my rep, but so far no response. I talked to him onthe phone yesterday about the first dupicate. He was really confused, and said he would have it removed. Well it is still there, and today a new one has appeared. I just hope it doesn't mess up mu ESD.

 

Yeah that would be bad, I would want to talk with a high level CSR to make sure your order that you want doesnt get canceled in the confusion

 

Just becareful and get your order straightened out ASAP!!! Your ship-date depends on it!!! LOL...

 

Hmm...new option. What is this "Creative Labs Express Sound Card"? Is that a physical audigy card or something? I wish I had that option because I am not able to use my 5.1 surround sound system with my m1330. I hope the "integrated audigy" isn't all that bad. Hope it is atleast better than my integrated 600m speakers.

 

Well evidently Dell isn't the only computer company who can't get it straight. I ordered a T61 from Lenovo at the end of June and their ESD was the end of August as well. Since I read/learned about the M1330 afterwards, I decided to cancel and wait it out for a lighter/longerlasting laptop, as their ESDs were the same. Well, guess the cancelation didn't go through because I should be expecting my new T61 next week. Grrr. More time on hold = efff computer companies. Hopefully Dell is as poor as ESD as Lenovo is.

 

yup will be cool got the White led backlight for free

 

What the hell TechIsCool... Did you not see my patent and copyright on using a red gradient with a red M1330 in a forum sig! I will sue you!

Nice job BTW.

 

Ohh snap!

Copyright infringement son!

 

Now now kids ... lets not fight here.

 

You are right they did add this as a new option. It is a hardware version however I do not think it is internal, looks to be an express card slot sound card similiar to a pcmcia card that you slide in from the outside and sticks out of the actual laptop

 

so what happens to the remote if you order the audigy express card, I wonder...
