    Inspiron 1420:

    Jet Black
    Intel Core 2 Duo T7250
    3GB DDR2 Ram
    160GB Hard Disk
    Glossy, high contrast widescreen 14.1 inch display (1280x800)
    Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 3100
    Bluetooth
    Intel 3945 WLAN (802.11a/g) Mini Card
    6 Cell Battery

    I placed the order on 9/23

    ESD is 10/15

    What are the chances I get this on time? I mean are people getting stuff that has basic components(black lid, 6 cell, network card, etc) in a timely fashion?

    looks pretty random sometimes nothing is back ordered and there is STILL delays.

    looking at those specs i would say even if there is a delay it won't be a long one.

    just keep calling ORDER STATUS hotline once each day.

    They can tell me something different than what it already says when I check the status online?
