WOW! I can't believe ppl who ordered b4 me are getting their laptops already!

Well...if it helps cheer you up our sunday night is there monday morning...

 

So our laptops are built in Malaysia? Can anyone confirm this? I thought they were built in Kentucky or Nevada or something.

 

Everything I've heard suggests "build in Malaysia" but I haven't seen it on an 'official' source...

Even so everyone here seems pretty sure...

 

That sucks. I thought they were at least put together and everything here in America. I felt like the XPS was the all America laptop considering you get the honor of talking to peopling who are understandable for help.

 

nope built in malaysia, its official everyone who recieves there xps box says built in malaysia. thats why boxing takes so long because it has to go on a plane ride from malaysia to the states before it ships.

 

Built in Maylasia for US orders, then Shipped to Nashville then shipped to you.

 

uhg. I say they just ship me all the parts and I will put it together twice as fast! hah...

 

As of 9:49 AM this Sunday morning, still in the BUILD stage with an ESD of two days from today, 6/3. Dell is really pissing me off. Maybe should have looked elsewhere for a notebook.

 

I feel you...my esd is only one day after yours...
Dell is certainly cutting it close.

P.S. I doubt very much your status will change until tonight...
Right now it's 10:53 PM in Malaysia...
Stop calling until about 7 or 8 tonight (their morning)...

 

I have a sneaking suspicion that a bunch of those guys are taking turns playing crysis on my new machine. It has become the office 'test machine' that everyone gets to play.

I guess I'm really searching for answers now; I just wish they would/could explain what is taking so long in building these things.

 

Lol. I think they are just playing as many games as they can on your computer before they have to ship it out. I guess your machine is truly spectacular because they hold it back for so long. They probably put it on display because those builders have no clue how to build a machine as perfect as yours.

 

Yea I'm in the same boat as everyone as of ~11 AM this morning -- STILL IN F*CKING BUILD STAGE! I could have flown to Malaysia built my laptop and flown back in the amount of time this has been in build stage... and killed a few Malaysian terrorists

 

Don't worry. Dell's probably going to blow your order off until Christmas.

 

Is that some joke I don't get, or do you just ignorent and think all non-whites are terrorists?

 

Maybe if it was 1941, but there aren't too many Malaysian terrorists around now-a-days.

 

Aren't most Malaysians of Indian or Chinese decent?

 

It's (most likely) just straight up sarcasm...

 

Dell most likely gets the XPS chassis and motherboard from a Malaysian ODM. That ODM ships them to the U.S. to Dell, and Dell puts in the CPU, RAM, LCD, GPU, etc. . . The one thing that is delaying is probably the battery shortage, which is a direct response from the chemical fire in Korea, so Malaysia has nothing to do with this.

 

I thought the fire occured at an LG plant and these batteries are manufactured by SANYO

BTRY,PRI,56WHR,6C,LITH,SANYO

O yea sorry about the terrorist remark-- I thought Malaysia was on monkey Bush's axis of evil or something, my mistake

Anyways back to topic-- why hasn't Dell processed my order yet?

O yah thats right because it is a lousy company, and I need to buy a Gateway, maybe ASUS, if only they offered WUXGA.

 

And this happened in Korea, and who buys these batteries? Dell, Hp, Asus, etc. . . You can tell it's a battery shortage because of the outrageous price on 9(+) cell battery upgrades, and the " May delay your M1530 ship date" warning.

 

no the entire laptop is built in malaysia from start to finish, what happens in the u.s. is pretty much just a double box and shipping label.

 

The order is actually acknowledged and confirmed in the U.S. I ordered on Friday and it was acknowledged, and over the weekend it hasn't and won't be confirmed until Monday. No clue as to what happens after that.

 

Ah, you are correct sir, I didn't get it until now I searched and found some pics, and yeah Dell has like 7 factories. Man that must be inconvenient for people with a wrong order.

 

Relax! You'll get your lappy. I ordered mine on the 9th or May and it was just shipped. Some ppl who ordered before you did still have not received their lappys yet. Remember, it's just a Dell and you are not special.

 

I agree but when I ordered my Alienware about 2 years ago however, their CS even though owned by the same company was much better than Dell's and my order was shipped b4 their date considering alot of the parts were backordered when I had it built as well.

 

im not sure but isnt the alienware dell aquisition recent?

 

No actually it took place over 2 years ago, but that depends on your definition of recent.

 

i was not aware that it had been that long ago at all, but then again i dont follow the news of this industry all that much. I work in the auto industry as a mercedes-benz technician so i kinda geek out on that stuff more or less most of the time. Speaking of worthless technology the new 2010 E-Class will have a feature that reads road signs for you, cant figure out why someone would want that but oh well. I'm sure it will have the night vision too that is currently equipped on the CL and S class models.

 

Mercedes= waste of money imo... infact any automobile that costs over 20k is a waste of money, unless it flies

 

Just checked...still in build...
They're really pushing it close if they want to hit my ESD...

 

I ordered my 1330 a week ago (sunday, may 25) and still don't have it! it was suposed to arrive yesterday...i will have to wait till tomorrrow!

 

:/
I ordered the 19th...still in build...
You'll be fine waiting until tomorrow :/

 

i'll let u know if im not dead tomorrow because all that waiting for my super m1330 xD

 

It's driving me crazy that even if my computer does somehow manage to ship on time it still won't be here for another week.

If I'm not in boxing when I get up tomorrow I'm going to call dell...
I've got all day to yell at CSRs...

 

you should call dell and express your anger, maybe they will upgrade you to next business day shipping and voiala!

 

Well it may have been delayed, but only for one day!

Just got the e-mail my 1530 has shipped! Sweeeet! According to tracking should be here 6/4...same day that my repaired Xbox 360 should be arriving and the same day that my gaming shirts should be arriving. Let's hope it sticks!!!

For those on delays, I hope yours ships out soon!

 

When did you order yours? what was the ESD?

 

Ordered my 1530 on the 11th and and should be arriving today the 2nd.

 

I ordered 5/14 original date was 5/30

 

Yea I am still not in boxing either, I called and the CSR was being totally vague stated there is a manufacturing delay on your order, and to call back on wednesday

 

I'm not very happy with Dell at the moment :/

 

What did they say when you calleD?

 

That my ESD is 6/4 and it could ship/arrive earlier...
I honestly don't see how.

 

Yea I called a second time and they told me the battery was out of stock again, the time before the guy stated there shouldnt be a problem with your build finishing on time--- fcking liars; i am going to cancel on wdnesday if it hasnt shipped and will end up buying a macbook pro along with my 3g iphone next monday.

 

At least wait until you get your delay notice (if you get one at all...it 'could' still come on time) and see when it says your lappy will ship.

 

Yea mathh it seems you and I are getting inpatient since our orders should be in the final stages by now, either way I dont know if this sort of treatment on Dell's part is going to work!

 

A free 9 cell battery would make me love dell again lol
(yeah...I know...ain't gonna happen)

 

I think you should all be thankful that you are not in my position. Waited for my M1530, came, had lots of physical problems with it, ordered replacement only to find out its going to be a refurb despite asking for a brand new replacement of the whole notebook so may end up shipping back the notebook and reordering a new one just to wait all over again for it...

 

Dell has a new sales pitch.


Dude, you're getting a Delay!

 

**cries**
