Post when XPS M1330 ordered and when/if shipped

Well... I didn't say that yesterday cause I knew nothing would happen today.... but in general, I'm an optimistic guy!

 

to be honest i'm with you there.
It is just a matter of time until all ordered units will be delivered.

If the anticipation wouldn't be so bad....

 

True dat, true dat. However there is a lot of things I want to do with it before September strolls around, where my schedule becomes super booked for the rest of the year:

1. Format
2. Create 2 Partitions (1 for Windows XP, 1 for Windows Vista)
3. Install Windows XP (plus drivers)
4. Install Windows Vista (plus drivers)
5. Make Norton Ghost Images
6. Install Software Development Stuff (Windows Vista Only)
7. Install Games (Windows XP Only)
8. Install Office 2K7 (Windows Vista and XP)
9. Install iTunes (Windows Vista and XP)
10. Install Zune (Windows Vista and XP)
11. Make Norton Ghost Images
12. Play

 

FYI: Some people were complaining that when you call the order status number the chick takes forever to say "Thanks" after you enter your order number. If you wanna make her check right away just hit "#" after your order number and she will go straight to your status and not pause.

 

Haha I wondered who was the person that bought a Zune

 

This has got to be the week for a lot of us you are right hopefully we'll see them next week luckily for me I have all of next week off im on vacation so ill be home all day playing with my new m1330 if all goes well because my est. ship date is 8/1 and thats coming fast so worst come to worst ill get it til then although im expecting itll be a little sooner.

 

Awesome! Whatever makes the process less troublesome.

 

I ditched the iTunes music store in favor of the Zune's music store mostly because the Zune marketplace has a subscription service that allows unlimited downloads of music for $15/month. Since I got it early this year I have downloaded 300+ songs. The Zune's screen is much bigger than any of the IPod's, and has a better battery too.

 

I'll be wayyyyyy to busy once it comes... so I think i'll take 5, 6, 7, 9, and maybe a little bit of 12 on the side.

 

Hopefully it'll perform well out of the box for a couple of weeks, way to busy until late october to do some "work" on it.

 

Code:

Virtual PC 2007
Adobe Reader
FireFox
iTunes 7
Rocket Dock
SpyBot
Druid beta
>Visual Subst
DVD Shink
Notebook Hardware Control
CC Cleaner
All Tunes
Al Zip
Res Hacker

That is what will be installed so far with one click of the button i use Install pad to do most of it... office and studio 8 need codes so they need to be installed separately

 

The 8400M GS should be significantly slower than the 7600. You're probably looking at Go 6600 performance or slightly better.

 

Does the 8400 GS support DirectX 10?

 

Yes it does.

 

Yes, definately

 

i dont get it

Yep!

cipro -- don't get what?

 

Didn't you say that last week ?

 

I also said this ...

 

He says that everyday just so that one day he will be correct.

I predict that someday in the future, this year or some year after that, some or maybe no M1330 will have shipped.

 

i was quoted an august 3rd shipping date so im going to assume that that will probably be correct

 

Good on ya, me too might as well get something out of the wait!

 

Thats correct I have a friend who did that in Kentucky. They get the container from customs and break it up for delivery. She told me a funny story about PS3's at Christmas and why some of them took so long to get out of the container.

That said there will be a lot of deliveries next week. I'm certain Dell packed a whole container of computers (a process that will happen everyday of each week) not just a handfull of m1330's. Granted we won't know the mix of form factors/model numbers/printers/TV's etc, but I'm with blah.

 

But i think its a whole different ballgame in europe.
Here the stuff is build and then shipped directly afaik.
I'm still wondering where the dealy originates from.

 

Sundays suck.

 

I completely agree!

 

LOL, keep in mind that if it weren't for Sunday, we would only have 1 day weekends .

 

LOL... some of us do have 1 day weekends... and some of us have no weekends at all!

 

I'm taking a 2 week intensive course at my university and my m1330 is due to be delivered the day the class ends. Sigh. My luck, figures. I really wanted to have it for the class, but I guess it will have to wait till fall semester. Oh well, plenty of time left in summer to tool around on it without worrying about classes (if it actually comes on time!)

And yeah, Sundays are for the loss.

 

Just for funzeez, I fired up the Dell wizard for configuring the m1330 and this time around it pegged the estimated shipping date at September 3rd. Also, several options have been removed from the config wizard, most notably the SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Express Card. Dell can't seem to make up their minds on what options and features to include, can they?

 

I'm in the same boat. I'm taking a class right now that I would have loved to have the notebook for. But it won't arrive until the end of the course.

 

They will... in a few months

 

Summer sessions suck... (and are usually intense)... so it might be better for ya. If it was me, I would prob flunk out of the class with an m1330 in my hands.

 

1 day weekend is good cos dell will work more days and get our laptops out faster plus the postmen will all work too!

 

No, i'd rather have my sunday, in fact i like to have a 3day weekend.

 

lol and have to wait longer for the laptop lol..

 

So you would give up one weekend day, just in hopes of getting this uber-awesome laptop? Not many kids (and us adults too) would want to work 6 days a week. :twitcy:

Edit: On 2nd thought, if we had 6 day weeks then we could spend maybe 6 hours at work instead of 8. More time in each day to do stuff, such as play WoW.

 

I only mean for the time it takes for the laptop to come hehe. but your 2nd idea is good! ID do that no probs

 

People who make a lot of money don't work 5 days a week. They work more.

 

So true...

 

Some people who work 6 days a week don't make a lot of money.

But what does this have to do with out M1330?

 

Well i had to work a bit to buy an M1330, so i think thats the link isn't it?

 

I was under impression that blahdude was busy today... I guess, he doesn't have a life, after all

 

But are only paid based on 5.

 

i am.... ... doesn't mean I'm won't check in here.

 

I'm new here but wanted to share my disapointment with Dell (at least in Canada).
I ordered my XPS M1330 on July 3 and it finally went in to production last week with an estimated delivery date of August 20th (or somewhere near there). Then I got a call today from the guy that I purchased it from at Dell Sales and he told me that they had to do an investigation on the Bluetooth component. Because of this, all orders containing Bluetooth (in Canada at least) had been cancelled and would have to be re-entered if the customer wanted the computer without Bluetooth. This means that I would have to go back to the beginning of the process over a $20 component and my estimated ship date would be in September sometime. Not ideal for someone starting school in early September. This is ridiculous!!! They should have just called me and asked if I wanted to proceed with the order without Bluetooth. Not sure if this will affect anyone else but I wanted to share my displeasure with the way that this was handled by Dell. Good luck everyone.

 

If this were really true, the BT option would be taken off the website. Everyone shouldn't worry about this.

 

No longer available on the 1520

 

Sorry Yes It Is

 

Checking now and..............I am in the build stage.
