    Chances are Dell has the most popular builds and fully stocked laptops already made and ready to ship.

    If it takes long enough, you may get the opportunity to cancel the order and place an order for the M1530's Centrino 2 successor. :D

    The way it seems to me is they have the same ESD for one full week or so, then they change the ESD the next week.

    Is there any cost to check as well?
    Is there a way to check online as well besides just seeing the order status in production only?

    I have no idea why, but, mine was sent by Fex Ex. Not that I'm complaining, seeing as how DHL is not the best from what I've read. I thought maybe it was a regional thing but you are also in MN. Odd.

    what time during the day does DHL normally arrive?



    and it says "signature preferred", does that mean I HAVE to be there to sign? Or can I just leave a note telling him to leave it?
