    I ordered two laptops

    1st is Inspiron 1521 w/AMD T-56/1.8GHz, 2 GB RAM, 160GB HD, 8x DVD, N-Wireless, 9-Cell, Camera, WXGA LCD TrueLife, and Expresso Brown. Ordered July 17, 1st Est. ship date was August 3. On the 3rd I got the auto msg. with the new est. ship date of Aug 28. Still on order.

    2nd laptop is another Inspiron 1521 w/AMD T-56/1.8GHz, 2 GB RAM, 160GB HD, 8x DVD, N-Wireless, Bluetooth, 9-Cell, Camera, WXGA Anti Glare, and Jet Black. Ordered Jul 30 with first est. ship date of Aug 16. Today (Aug 16) I got the expected call from auto-girl with the new date of Aug 23 (yes 23rd) but I’m not holding my breath. Still on order and will make decision on Aug 28.

    This basically sucks. I’ve ordered Dell before (Five for me and family) and have NEVER had this problem
    :(

    They are experiencing a major back-order. They can't keep up with all the orders coming in. It's probably one of the most busiest times of the year for Dell.

    However, I doubt you will be required to wait much longer. They are slowly catching up and your notebooks should ship on or maybe even before the estimated shipping dates.
