    Hi


    Ordered a Vostro 1500 last sunday, aug 12th.
    20hrs ago it was in pre-production stage.
    Now it is shipped and has been picked up by the transporting company :D

    The estimated date was Sept 12 :D
    I am so excited atm!

    Finally I don't have to use my old desktop with a 933mhz P3 cpu and 128mb's of ram, mounted on a wooden board anymore!

    I received mine is 5 days as well. But the following thought has been haunting me for a long time now: Given that it takes them atleast a week to build their laptop (normally), I suspect that the reason for such quick delivery in your case is that they simply shipped you a returned laptop :eek: . There's no way they'd build it that fast when other people are have an avg. wait time of atleast 10 days (for same config.)

    Anyone knows?

    Edit: When I mean "returned", I'm referring to relatively new laptops returned within their 30-day return policy period

    If you read the fine print at the website, you will see that Dell cannot sell a return or canceled order unless they notify the customer receiving the system.

    ...at least thats what we all hope.......lol
