The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    In this thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=167555 princealyy posted the details from a Dell mailer. (I received the same mailer.) The specs listed XGA+ display. A few posts later, CitizenPanda provided a link. Unfortunately, his link was to an offer with XGA, not XGA+. The synopsis of my chat with Dell was this: "Person A posts the details of an offer. Person B posts a link to an offer. Just because we thought we were getting the deal person A posted is not the responsibility or fault of Dell. Neither post was by Dell." Grudgingly, I agree with that. I think I'm going to cancel my order Monday.

    Please take insipid remarks elsewhere. This thread is to alert anyone who used CitizenPanda's link for their purchase and give them a chance to review/cancel/change their order. With the current $599 deal, a few people may want that option.

    CRAP!! I used that Panda link and my order is supposed to ship tomorrow. Does Dell charge anything for canceling an order? I might as well get the $599 deal. You get 50% more hard drive BUT 50% less memory. You get the 9 cell battery BUT it's bulky, sticks out the back , extra weight, etc. and some people don't want that. I like this offer as much as I liked the $649. CRAP!!

    Ok man, breathe. Dell has a satisfaction guarantee. Worst case scenario you can return it, you may even be able to cancel it before it ships.

    Here's the number I was told to use for modifications to orders/cancellations by Dell when I called this morning:
    1(800) 456-3355

    Call first thing tomorrow morning.
