    Hi,
    Does everybody here remember when Dell charged your account?
    I bought a 600m last Sunday (apr 10). Due to some problem w/ my checking account, I couldn't make the payment until Tuesday. Then I saw a "pending" in my account, and 2 days ago, that "pending" was gone. Dell didn't charge anything to my acc.
    I just wanna know y this happen. I bought this laptop for my friend, so if Dell "accidentally" forgot to take my money, I'd prefer give them back to my friend, but just to make sure before I do that ... lol ...
    Thanks ...

    I believe that's just Dell checking to make sure you have the funds in the account. Then they release it and charge you after it ships.
