    I placed an order that is scheduled to be shipped tomorrow, but the status still says build stage. In your opinions, is there much of a chance it will actually be shipped tomorrow. (PS i ordered a desktop, but my questions/frustrations are still the same as yours, considering i have been delayed on my order too before the ship date even came)

    Could there possibly be hope if maybe they haven't updated my order status yet.

    Of course.

    ...unless they dropped your status back to pre-production, then no.

    It took them one day to update my status from production to shipping, after I recieved the email informing me that it was in Texas being pushed over the border.

    I sure hope it gets shipped tomorrow or at least within the week, because they were like "It should only take about a week".

    I ordered mine on the 19th. It has been delayed until the 28th. So I ordered the same thing with a black lid and I'll see which ships first. The remaining laptop will be cancelled but at least I'll get something.
