    Questions:

    1. I will travel during the spring break and return on 18th March. The estimated shipment date is 27th March. Any chances that it is shipped earlier when I am on vacation?

    I got the two day business shipment. What does it mean? ship in two days?

    2. Can the power adapter, tough called North America power pack, actually be used worldwide? Does it support 220 Voltage input?

    3. How long is the price protection period?

    I ordered though CPP, unfortunately, the ecoupon USESAVEMORE
    does not apply. I am wondering what other deals and saving I may have missed.

    any pointers, please?

    To answer in order:

    1- Yes it can ship earlier.
    2- The power brick is rated @ 100V-240V input so the answer is yes.
    3- I am not sure.

    I hope this helps and good luck. :)

    3. The Sticky thread says the price protection period is 21 days.

    1. Seems that the shipping is fast--it will likely ship in two days from whenever they send it, after building, etc.
