The OFFICIAL Studio XPS 1647 Intel Core i3/i5/i7 (Dual Core) Order Status Thread

Well, my account on dell website is still not updated with the tracking number!

The funny thing is ...when i called the customer care rep to ask the order status, he looked at the account and directly transferred me to the supervisor --- saying that my case is now handled by the managers ...... lol........

 

No update on the site? Did you order from it or from a sales rep? Seems kind of odd... No wait this is Dell, we're talking about. nothing seems odd from them lately. At least you do have a track number and your unit is no longer in Dell's hands. Tomorrow it will all be over and we'll have our laptops in hand! I can't wait as I am sick sharing laptop time with the wife on the Dell E1505.

 

My laptop arrived today and was shipped from Tenn. as expected. Don't know why fedex tracking didn't start until New Jersey.

Haven't had much time to play with it yet. The RGBLED really is beautiful. Doesn't have any of the problems that others have mentioned. Colors seem accurate to my eyes. I watched about 10 minutes of "Batman Begins" on blu-ray and it looked great. I also think that the sound is outstanding for a laptop and won't be in any rush to use external speakers with it.

Now I can start posting in the owners lounge!

 

The wait is finally over. FedEx delivered the laptop a few mins back.

Finally....

 

Great for you Dude. Mine is out on the truck waiting to be delivered. Should be here soon. Is it Xmas already?

 

To quote my PM:

 

Whoa!!! Just got this thing from FedEx, Gonna eat some lunch now a have a look right after.
Now I can post on the XPS "Big Boy" threads without fear of being bashed!
LOL

 

I would just LOVE to know where you people ordered the 1647 with the i7-620m???? I have looked all over.. please point me in the right direction. need to order one soon.

 

It was a Dell’s Signature event sale that I got my 620m. It’s now only available through Dell’s EPP right now.

I don't know if anyone is monitoring this thread anymore, but in case anyone is interested, it appears there aren't currently any delays on the 1647, at least for U.S. customers...I ordered mine with the RGB LED screen and blu-ray upgrade on 03/23/10 and it is scheduled to be delivered on 03/30/10...and I only paid for 7 day shipping!

 

I got mine in Canada in 2 weeks ...so it seems that they have them (RGB) back in stock...for now.... was worth it btw....

 

I received mine 3 days ago ^^. Updated to Catalyst 10.3 and BIOS A05, works like a charm. No overheating, no crackling/rattling, screen yellowing etc. Not sure about throttling, but I do not notice it at all.
