Post when XPS M1330 ordered and when/if shipped

So, when your shipping method got changed, did you get a new order number?

 

No, I didn't get a new order number. And I talked to the rep... he said that there were no parts contributing to it's delay. The entire notebook is delayed. I'm guessing they're REALLY short on stock. I called 1800-247-2076 if you're wondering.

 

thanks for the hot tip i just got my shipping upgraded to next day also

 

I don't know how useful this is, but I just realized that one of the pictures posted on this forum on the underside of the m1330 had a service tag still showing. Here is the parts list. I figured that every bit of information is useful at this point.

Ordered 7/2/2007
Estimated Ship Date 8/23/3007

T7500
1 GB Ram (much cheaper on Newegg)
Slim Display w/ camera
Base 120 GB hard drive
Video card
Fingerprint reader
Wireless N
Bluetooth
Red

Of course I go to school on 8/19/2007, so this should be interesting.

 

Could someone explain exactly what they said to get free shipping upgrade and what part of the dell chat they said it too. I clicked customer service and shipping chat and all I got was a "I'll request to have your order expedited."

 

customer service, then the generic option... i think its "other issues" or something like that,

i didn't request next day shipping. I just asked him why its taking so long when it usually takes a lot shorter, i need it asap because im going to school in 2 weeks. then he volunteered to upgrade shipping to next day.

just keep trying till you get someone nice..

 

7/03/2007 09:48:22AM ME: "and is the Latest shipping date still the same?"
07/03/2007 09:49:19AM Agent (**): "I see that the order is in the production stage, The estimated ship date is 08/17/2007."
07/03/2007 09:49:21AM Agent (**): "The estimated ship date is just a conservative ship date for the order and it is quite possible that the order ships before estimated date."
07/03/2007 09:49:32AM Agent (**): "I have made an exception in your case as you have contacted us today and upgraded the shipping method to Next Day, free of charge for you, so as soon as the order gets shipped out, it will be delivered the Next Business Day."
07/03/2007 09:50:23AM ME: "Awesome.... thank you!"

 

Thanks, I tried the whole need it in time for school thing too, but the guy didn't bite. I wonder what it really means if your order is expedited?

 

could anyone help as to how to type a thread and a post

 

i have a problem with my laptops

 

one ... it dont wanna come on..

 

.... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .... a little off topic aren't we?

 

Just bought 4GB for my m1330 from Frys. Just incase people haven't noticed, the price of 4GB of PC5300 SODIMMS from Frys have dropped another 10 bux. It now cost $159.99. Here is the link:

https://shop2.outpost.com/product/5284717?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

 

Darn! I've tried 4 chats with 4 different people and none of them will give me a free shipping upgrade. I guess they don't like me.

 

Can Vista home Prem support 4GB? I did a search online and some people say it can others say 32bit OS's can not. So I am not sure

 

Vista Home Premium will not support the full 4GB, because of the 32-bit software limitation. The m1330 will recognize 4GB, but windows will only be able to use 3.25GB.

 

Yeah that was the most common thing that I read. So I will not bother.

 

If I remember correctly there is a 64 bit version of vista that would see all the RAM but
A. It's a pain to get (have to have 32 bit version then send away for 64 bit version i think)
B. Vista + 64 bit = Drivers? what drivers?
C. judging from Tux in your sig CodeMonkeyx, that's not going to be much of an issue

 

I guess I decided to get 4GB knowing that I would only see 3.25GB inside windows. However, it is a better solution that having 1x2GB and 1x1GB sticks of RAM in your computer if you require more than 2GB of RAM. 2 sticks of RAM in different sizes will not work in dual-channel mode, thus slowing your computer down.

 

dont think we have applications that fully support 64 bit yet... aint it so?

 

Thank's for the link. The site is down now, but I was able to call and get the deal. 4GB OCZ PC5300 RAM $166 shipped!

 

This price almost makes me want to a couple more sets, keep it for a few months until the price of ram goes back up again and then sell it on ebay. However, who knows if the prices keep going down or how long it will take to go back up.

The 64 bit versions of Vista were tested to be over 10% faster than the 32 bit versions. There's a microsoft link where you put your 32 bit vista serial code in and they send you a free DVD with 64 bit Vista on it. There could be driver issues though.

I'm sure Dell will start installing 64 bit versions of Vista on new notebooks soon (if they don't already), and we'll be able to make full use of our 64 bit intel processors.

 

I believe you can still run 32-bit programs... just not 32-bit drivers.

 

i think there is NO integrated modem for xps m1330

 

You are correct. They sell an external modem as an accessory to the M1330.

 

It runs 32-bit applications too. But not all work perfectly. Adobe Creative Suite CS3 did not like it.

And the driver problem is even worse, because I believe that all 64-bit drivers have to be signed by Microsoft too before they will install.

 

o.o

Who uses modems?

 

does anyone know if the late august ship dates are for sure?? because that's a long ass time to wait for our laptops.............. i dno if i can wait that long. (mine supposedly ships 8/22)

 

Welllll this is a BRAND new laptop. We're getting the first batch of these smokin hot mama's... That being said... I'm sure they're overshot by 3 or 4 days... but I'm pretty sure we're not gettin em weeks early.

 

no one needs modem but it is for fax so not that important also dial-up users will be mad

 

It's not for sure. It can ship before then.

 

I'd look to upgrade to one day shipping...but I'm still getting it shipped out on the 28th of July so I'm not too worried.

 

lol be nice... There are some people who still use dial-up. The closest I've gotten to dial-up speeds is when I use my blackberry pearl to tether as a modem (through usb though) But hey, I get to surf anywhere

 

28th of july?
try 22nd of August for me

 

Ehh... I'll be nice some other time... though I see 0 reasons to stay with dial-up...

 

If you live in the country-side, the only thing you get is dial-up

 

I live in the Northeast (near the cities) and I still have to use dial-up in emergency cases. LOL....

 

O_O... How do you live knowing you're paying for something so obsolete?

 

Ehhhhh .... it's a lifeline to my work/biz. I'm almost on-call 24x7 and need access to internet in all conditions wherever I go!

 

Mobile internet... Or use a cell phone as a modem... JUST NOT DIAL-UP!

 

LOL... I have that too (Sprint EVDO), but sometimes I travel in areas that are not supported by Sprint's Data Services (although they did just get Data Roaming). Even then, my PDA phone crashes like every 6 hours. *sigh*

 

Fine... you win.... dial-up it is... *grumbles*

 

do dialups still have that boring dial tone...??

 

Yep.........

On a more related topic, I was looking on eBay and found some m1330's being sold on there!!!

How did they get them!?!?

 

it is the LED screen that is delaying the shipment, not the bluetooth or wireless N card, configured it again, and the shipment was 8/14/07, and added the LED screen, it jumped to 8/21/07... hope there enough LED screen for the first few batches that ordered earlier.....

o yeah i also chat to a dell rep and got free nex business day shipping! awesome!

 

I don't think they actually obtained the M1330 yet but rather they eBay it off first then when the M1330 actually arrives, then they'll ship it to them.
