    I disagree. I like the contrast. If there weren't any, it would look like a Mac wanna be, like the Dove colored CR Vaios.

    I'm at the point that all I can do is wait. There's no compensation that I could think of without extending my order even longer, unless they ship an upgrade to vista ultimate or ship a 4 gig memory upgrade...I can always hope, but impractical.

    Well from watching the Dell video
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP-H46ga0fk
    it looks really thin to me. You can see it flex a little too.

    a few days ago they said that there was to be 10 to 14 days before we saw the computers go into mass production and untill then we would see the trickle effect.

    EPP orders will be sent out last


    Your order date has very little to do with when you will get your computer . It also depends on what section you bought it from and what discounts you used.


    Normal Dell reps do not have any valid info and can not speed up your order and if you piss them off you will get an email from the same rep that says that they have taken ownership of your issue.

    If you aren't in a hurry, yes. Longer lasting. Better colors. More battery life. Less weight.

    I understand how it can be a contrast in colors and yes I'd agree if you were talking about clothes. But with laptops the reason why people praise apple so much is cause they have good design. Their colors are concurrent. If Dell placed a metalic light silver (close to the white shade) and a white body that would've looked much more elegant than a white pearl nice lid and suddenly a drastic change it body color. This also allows them to not "copy mac" if that's how you put it.

    This is what I mean by design.

    It has absolutely nothing to do with Discounts...duuuuh. Do you think Dell is really so organized to say "Hey we gave him this deal lets delay his order."

    HCW Im calling you on this. Ive heard you rant about just about everything and tell us how you spoke to corporate yet, thusfar, I havent found any useful knowledge you provided whatsoever.

    You just come back every day and take potshots at people; two today I have seen thusfar. Hitting my gfriend was the worst. lol (kidding DGirl)

    And where were you yesterday. You issued me a challenge and then when everyone started responding...you went and sucked your thumb in the corner.

    Go and try your chat out some more.

    Your pessimism doesnt come close to equalling your lack of knowledge to this point.

    Yea for me!!!! (Someone needed to do it.)

    I find it ironic why dell would create a rigged system and then giving us something that's a bit thicker? If they're able to create this rigged system then most likely this proves that they can put this in mass production. Why would they do something like that?

    Lol...take a look. the crowd has spoken. if you would have stayed yesterday and checked out my explanation, you would have heard that it seems indeed plausible. And as for my not speaking with corporate??

    Lol. Take a look at my threads...specifically regarding sku problems, cancellations, delays, getting stuff thrown in, getting discounts from dell, who to contact, and how they can enhance their customer image and you will see....

    All of my info, thusfar has been dead on.
    So go dig hard and try and prove me wrong.

    Unlike yourself, i sit here and enjoy the others and would do anything I can to assist while Im here.

    Yea...and thanks for the clapping folks...

    How so? You said EPP orders would be handled last, and yet my EPP order has gone into testing as of yesterday (although it is weird that I haven't moved out of it yet since most people are only in testing for a few hours and mine has been there overnight and is still at that stage as of 5 minutes ago)

    Im sorry FREN but this person wants exactly that and he comes on twice a day to state that over and over.

    If you lock it, he wins. How would he gain?? He had to make an exact copy of this thread of which noone occupies.

    I implore you, dont lock this, but rather, put HCW in his place. And thanks for the warning because I was just about to tell everyone what HCW stands for lol

    It's not me thats doing the trolling ... Look who called who out and he has done it 3 days in a row. Flame is trolling me . I can't believe that you can't see that! I provide 100% real info from corporate and just cause it's not what flame Lester wants to hear he gets upset. It's just a laptop and there is no need to get upset. Everybody will have there laptops by September .

    Just to assist HCW (and then Im done Moderators)...

    Since I called you on your statement, there have been seven immediate responses backing me, two of which just questioned the validity of your corporate supplied info.

    Just take the hint.

    K.. done folks...

    Have I told anyone that one of my ETA dates was moved up to 2 Aug this morning??? Its the exchange laptop though which I know gets bumped to the front of the line. OOOOps...sorry ...in this thread that doesnt garnish support Im sure...

    Help!! lol
