Not sure. Just keep "bugging" them I guess

Otherwise apart from a newer GPU, I don't see any issues with other parts. But then we have to take Dell in consideration now that Alienware is a part of it. My 2 cents.

Give us a personal review on the machine, would ya?

cheers ...

I would recommend getting a 3 year warranty for a laptop there are many people who have wish they would have done it... if one thing goes out it pays for itself...

Internally? I would guess at a few days at the most, but then you must add paperwork moving and signing off between departments - which can be 4-5 times as much being needed

My desktop shipped before the expected ship date AND it arrived before the expected delivery date with FED EX.

well it is possible that they tried to deliver it today but i was not home to sign for it.

not too sure though as dell still lists it as "in production" with no tracking info or anything. but i havent been expecting anything else that i would have to sign for...
