Where is the M1710?

post #1 of 21
Thread Starter 
So, the 15th came and went, and still no sign of the XPS M1710, as so many people "knew for sure" that today was the day of release.

Anyone else know when this thing is supposed to be released?

Since when does a multinational corporation release a product on a SATURDAY? Patience rewards the patient and penitent.

Also, the M1710 launching on a 17th? Entirely possible.

Especially the day before Easter. I realize that there are a lot of non christians everywhere but I don't forsee dell Releasing ANYTHING on easter weekend it would be a HUGE marketing Blunder

He miss-typed what he meant XD The 14th came and went is what I think he meant. Dell has to release it before the 19th (from what their 10% off XPS coupon says). The friday before easter seemed pretty logical since people may have wanted to get it as a gift for someone XD

I just couldn't let this go. This is by far one of the best quotes I've ever heard. Do you even know what "penitent" means?

So waiting rewards people who wait and are sorry? Kk. Bear that in mind.

If it's anything like movie/video game releases, I say it comes out on Tuesday.

Actually, isn't dell's release date on Thursday? I know that's when they release the coupons, but that's also when the released the M90 and such

Sorry for the typo. I meant the 14th. There were a few people on here who stated it as fact that Dell would be releasing the M1710 on the 14th. But that day came and went, and it sounds like these folks have nothing to say about it.

Yes, I do know what it means - I also typed that at 5:12 this morning in a semi-stupor. :/

I lose some verbal and expressive ability when I'm sleep-deprived.

You know some people said that they actually called up dell, and were told my REPS that it wasn't coming out until June. So I decided to write a Letter to Santa to see when he can get ahold of them he sent me an email this morning and told me that I can get them Close to Christmas in December. Maybe you should ask the Easter Bunny now.

Why hasn't anyone confronted the Dell reps with the 10% XPS coupon information? They won't be able to lie after you bring that up ^___^!

They, like any folks, can lie without any regard for facts.

It will come folks. The machine has pics on the site (the red one) and drivers and so forth. It'll come, just might be a few more days. Some of us waited a year for this machine - so be patient.

Dell Canada web site no longer has the M170

I just checked all over the Dell.ca site and the M170 is suspiciously missing. You can get to a page where it is shown with the Customise Button, but once pressed you get a "we're sorry. Unable to process your request" message.

I'd say the M1710 must be literally hours away.

No offfense, but apparently having the downloads doesn't mean much. The downloads for the m65 and m90 weren't on the site till 2 weeks after they were up for sale. Perhaps dell only put the m1710's downloads because they mirror the M90 so closely, with the exception of the bios and the creative drivers for sound. Just a thought...with all the reports of the m170 missing. i"m sure it'll be any day now

Maybe it'll be tonight at midnight. Well I've only got 10 more minutes to wait 'till then so I guess I will...

True enough on the downloads. I'm not down to predicting hours away, nor even days really. So my comment on the bios file was not meant to say "it's here". Sorry bout that.
