    I really want to get an m1330, but it says the x3100 delay (don't want an 8400 as I don't game) will be 8 days. Which sounds odd since isn't that part of the motherboard?
    In any case, is it reasonable to assume that that 8 days estimate is accurate? I really need a laptop in the new week or so, and am wondering if I should chance it.

    Thanks!
    Nate

    It could be that supplies are running short, since montevina is just around the corner.
    But either way, 8 days isn't too bad of a delay IMHO, I've heard of far worse before. :)

    I don't think the delay would be on the integrated card itself, but the motherboards with the integrated card.

    If you need a quick computer, order from the dell outlet http://outlet.dell.com. Some of the machines are used, but you will get them quick. I ordered a computer Friday and it arrived today.

    Yea, I've heard/read about that, too! :)

    I've been looking into the outlet, but there is so little stock right now. I swear there were about 60 on Friday. Right now there are only 8 listed! :eek:
