The "Official" IFL90 Shipping/Waiting Thread

Kdawgca...and the new policy was?

 

LOL. Without history we'll surely repeat the errors/mistakes we made in the past.

Nunquam Alieno(use a Latin Translator)

New policy was:

 

oh yea. completely forgot about that.

 

but I mean, you have to admit, it is a little dissapointing to order a laptop in mid may.. when it says it will arive in mid june, and then have to possibily consider that it probably wont even come before august...

 

You win the prize...

As you know what was happening is that when a pilot missed his landing he had to circle and approach again to land, and everyone else in the air had to wait to make their approach before they could land. Many were running out of gas and going back to base anyway, so the new policy increased total landings and saved the whole program.

 

Yep it saved a program that saved ~2 million West Berliners from starving/freezing to death and it could of started WW3 which would have been a blast

 

Well, as of yesterday I am now waiting on my IFL90 from xoticpc.

 

Congratulations vipergts2207. I hope your wait is a tolerable one.

 

Congrats. You got the WXGA right? Man I should have just ordered that heh.

 

No, actually I went for the 1680x1050 resolution so I'll be one of the people that are waiting awhile.

 

Oh I thought you meant yours was shipping out. my bad.

 

I can just imagine how that would happen:

[Angus, Charlie and Bob (not appearing in this story) are all technicians in a reseller's shop.]

Angus: I was cleaning behind the fridge and look what I found!!!

Charlie: An IFL90?!? What was it doing there?

Angus: It's probably Bob... he always puts stuff on the fridge. And it aaaalways falls behind.

Charlie: Well, we better ship it.

Angus: Yeah... hmm... I know, let's ship it to vipergts2207!

You sound happy stating thtat

 

well he hasnt waited as long as we have.

 

I've now been waiting since the 6th of july. Not nearly as long as most of you but waiting still sucks, especially for new toys.

 

Agreed with Ntyingale, ive been waiting 2 days and am already checking the door every half hour . Lol, i got the Wxga, so hope to be waiting less than 30 days

 

I've already waited 37 days. I'm hoping I don't have to wait another 30.
I wish when I was ordering they had the WXGA with the 512 mb video card. Only reason I picked the WSXGA screen...

 

So if Nytingale ordered it on July 6th, is he one of the lucky few who will get it shipped in mid-july? Just like the rest of us who ordered in June?

 

"she" and goodness no, I got all the extras and whatnot, I've already been told it's gonna be a month or so. which is perfectly fine and fair. what have all you guys been doing to pass the time? this is gonna get tedious in another week or two.

 

Im only concerned about when mine is at the door, if you get yours at the same time, thats fine with me!

 

goodness wouldn't that be a dream come true! well... unless of course yours gets delayed till mine was estimated to ship, that wouldn't be so dreamy, for you anyway.

 

Doh, I didnt think of that possibility!

 

i've been waiting 37 days. i ordered the wxga+, but if that goes past the end of july i'm going to have to either change something to make it come faster or cancel

 

Heres the thing thewalrus, if you order anything now...it'll come later than the sager that you ordered 37 days ago. patience my friend.

 

Just to give thewalrus something good to hold onto, remember that powernotebooks and xotic are the only ones offering the WXGA+, Sager isn't. So you're not too far behind whatever the line is, you just need them to show up.

Just trying to help

 

Oh, sorry Nytingale. Just a small mistake nothing personal. I actually ordered mine on July 6 and I found out that I won't be recieving my laptop until August.

 

You won't believe it!
After waiting for a month I canceled my order at my first reseller. This was because of bad (and in my opinion misleeding) communication.
Then I placed a new order last Monday at Alternate.nl and believe it or not, I got mine yesterday!!! :yes: :yes: :yes:
But:
What I got was not what I ordered! I ordered an IFL90 with:
- T7300 proc
- 1GB Robson
- TV tuner
- 2GB Ram
- 160 GB 7200 rpm harddisk
- WSXGA+ (1680x1050)
- etc.
What I got was:
- T7100 proc
- No Robson
- No tuner

Today I called Alternate and they were stunned. They don't even sell a machine in such a configuration! But they were great, I can use this one until they have a machine the way I ordered it :smile:

But now I still have to wait...

 

I guess getting an IFL-90 early has its price, in this case, you don't get what you quite wanted.

How's it gonna work out for you? Are they sending an IFL-90 with the specs over right now and you ship yours back?

 

None taken, no worries, kinda hard to actually take offense when you had no way of knowing and I mean... I am in a forum for things technical not exactly a place most would expect to find a gal in the first place!
And yeah that was my discovery too, alas. a month to wait. I shall have to find a new game to distract me till then.

 

well, the problem is i'm going to college on sep. 1st, so i need it at least a couple days before then to get it running/make sure it works. if it goes into august without a solid date on when it will be released, i will almost definitely need to do something to ensure that i will have some kind of laptop on sep 1st.

 

That is not a problem thewalrus...don't panic.

You will have it Loooong before September 1st.

 

just ask anyone who knows me, i worry constantly about nothing. but thanks for the good news.

 

donald, when do you honestly, think one could expect an IFL.. I wont take anything you say against you or powernotebooks, but what is your gut feeling.. mine is around august 10th

 

Are you going far? because trust me, it doesn't matter what school you go to, the only thing you need for about the first week of any given college semester... is yourself and maybe a pencil and paper, not even books as there is almost always a grace period. there will not be anything you'll actually need a computer for the first week except perhaps whatever fun distraction it can provide.
Besides, despite previous delays I don't think anyone is expecting it to slip into september... hopefully.

 

September is really really far away so you really didnt have to worry about that.. .

 

That is a pretty precise "gut" feeling

It will depend on when you order, what screen resolution and configuration you select, and where you are and what shipping method you choose. Give me a call so we can discuss your configuration and potential ship date.

 

WSXGA+ with matte FTW!!

Waiting.. Not as much.

Im one of those people who always scale down to 1024x768, so native res wont be used often.

Even if you tell me it's betta!

Cuz im ignant!

More desktop and CS2 space is great.

 

meh, I like scaling to 800x600 and getting awesome fps

 

It is very wise to plan to have the laptop as ready as possible before classes begin. Even if the pedagogical load is not the heaviest during the first week of class, that's still not a time during which you want to be burdened with configuring your computer. For one thing, you most likely will have to spend time dealing with some administrative tasks during that time period. Then, whatever leisure time you will have you will want to spend on the social events that mark the start of the semester rather than on configuring a computer.

Regarding when classes "really" start, that can vary a lot from school to school, from department to department and from teacher to teacher so come prepared.

 

For me, going to med school, I don't really get a "grace" period. When they say classes start August 6th, they mean August 6th. So I would really like to have it by the end of July when I move to a different city....

 

yeah I love lamp, I know exactly what your saying, as I am off to med school aswell.

 

Day 5........ Another day without my sager , o how many more days! lol.

 

5? I'm on day 25, hoping 2 more weeks is really two more weeks.

 

Don't know yet. I have to call them again tomorrow.
As far as I know they'll try to get the one I ordered and in the mean time I can use this one. Not really a punishment ;-)
I'll keep you posted.

 

Cant wait to see how games look on high! or at least med-high.

 

Hi guys, I got mine like 3 weeks ago, all black, fingerprint sensor, core2 duo, geforce 8800, 2gb ram and everything else like the Hel80, something new I like is the 5 touch-buttons (like i-pods) browser, mail, wow video, wow audio and mute, i feel the laptop case to be much harder, and it heats way lower than my previous Hel80, also theres 2 button to the left, one like usb and one like a plug cable, dunno what they are for, but will research later on, i ordered my notebook without vista, since i didnt like it very much, somehow they got it installed with an original home premium and this vista is clearly better than the one i tried with my hel80, not sure if its because of a better processor + gfx card. Greetings.

 

I think you mean the Geforce 8 600m GT. Otherwise, I want to ask you where you got yours from!

 

LOL Agreed +1

 

His location says spain...

 

That is true......... darn u got us osso. +1 for u! lolz
