    Does anyone know how long it will take to ship? I got it basically stock so I don't think it needs to go to xotic.

    Depends if there's any delays in any components.

    If there is not, 2 days for burn in, and about a week (give or take) to build the laptop out. Then a week (give or take) for a normal shipping.

    Add to that any delay on components.

    Good rule of thumb +/- a few days.

    I dont see any options which will require it to ship to us after Sager has finished the build. We've been seeing 7-12 business days for current build times, that does vary depending on how many computers are in queue before yours can start production. Sager doesnt provide us that info.
