    Hello!

    So traditionally I've been a Dell fan, but recently there have been a plethora of issues, including DoA machines, poor technical server incompetence, and bad customer service. I've been researching laptops for a while, and Sony struck my eye. A couple of buddies have Sony's and are pleased. I know that all brands are subject to having its share of issues, but I'm done with Dell. However, without further ado, I purchased this last night:

    Product: US-VPCF1290X-LBOM
    Component: Standard capacity battery
    Component: Intel® Core™ i7-740QM processor (1.73GHz) with Turbo Boost up to 2.93GHz
    Component: 16.4" VAIO Display (1600x900)
    Component: NVIDIA® GeForce® 330M GPU (1GB VRAM)
    Component: No Fresh Start
    Component: No LED Backlit Keyboard
    Component: 4GB (2GBx2) DDR3-SDRAM-1333
    Component: Blu-ray Disc player
    Component: No Engraving
    Component: Adobe Bundle ($448 value.)
    Component: Norton Internet Security™ 2010 (30 Day Trial)
    Component: Black
    Component: Microsoft® Office 2010 Starter
    Component: Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Component: 320GB Hard Disk Drive (7200rpm)
    Per Unit Price: $1,184.99
    Quantity: 1
    Total Price: $1,184.99
    Description: VPCF1290X Configure-to-Order
    Ship Method: Standard
    Estimated Ship Date: 09/20/2010

    My order is in processing, however I'm just curious what the different statuses are on-line so I can track it. Also it seems this community is very friendly and knowledgeable, so I look forward to giving feedback once my machine is received.

    Thanks. (I would search but I am running off to a meeting - so sorry!)

    From my experience, online statuses from sonystyle are not very accurate, their e-mail alerts were better. BUT notice that I am in Europe and that the Eyjafjallajökull (volcano from Iceland) chooses to erupt one day before my laptop should have been shipped...

    Otherwise, basically statuses should be :
    - order processing
    - production
    - assembly
    - shipping
