Ordered 51m! w00t! - Page 2

It's not that I don't like it for gaming, the damn thing is super powerful. I would just prefer a desktop for gaming. Like, this laptop is a wicked way for me to game on the go, but I would rather have a computer that can really burn through games like Doom 3 and Farcry. This computer handles both (well, D3 will be in a sec), but not as well as I want it to (and by that I mean perfectly on max settings). So I simply want a desktop for the main gaming, and the laptop for gaming on the move.

He just means,

I want both!! MUAHAHA

I feel your pain. I ordered mine on the third, finally got to phase 2 on the ninth, phase three and four today.

Now I find out that it's going to be four more weeks past my original estimated ship date.

Do not get too discouraged. I was waiting on a part too. Very slowly I was getting to phase 9 where I was told, I would stay for a while. After 28 hours ´hanging in phase 9, miraciously I went to phase 14. I wasn´t expecting it for at least a week. Now I am not watching and waiting for Phases, but I´m tracking the package on DHL!!!

Today I found out that the wait for the DVD/RW is over because they're going to upgrade me to an 8x DVD/RW from the 4x and that my lappy should ship next friday.

Nice Apache, thats nearly identical to the one I ordered. Go blue! Anywho, took a little Blackhawk excursion last week, had one of you guys for escorts, it gave me warm and fuzzies.

Always glad to help, Abe. I'm looking forward to getting back in the air again. I'm tired of sitting and school or clearing.

That's sorta what happened to me, pyro. Wish you well.

I know that when I called to check on mine, that is what they told me. I'm guessing that since you ordered yours only a day before I did, it can't hurt to check on it.

Hey Pyro, they are doing this for everyone I am assumming? I dont have a phone to call them with.....lol. Anyone live in miami? Apache, hook it up with a ride. If they disobey, pummel them with 2.75's.

I'd love to do that Abe, but don't have an aircraft right now. Sorry.

I had the most frustrating experience with AW customer service today. I called to check on my order...again. (I just can't help myself) Anyway, I called to check on the current phase since I was told last week it could ship as early as this next friday. The lady I talked to told me there was a five week wait on my video card and Alien Respawn. I tried to tell her that I was just told last week that this was not true and that it should be shipping latter this week. She got snippy and then so did I. She told me that I was told at the time of my order that there would be a five week delay on my video card and made it sound like that time is just now starting. I'm embarrassed to say that after about 5 minutes of this I hung up on her.

After calming down, I called again and talked to a different rep named Allen. He started by telling me the same thing. But when I told him what I had been told last week, instead of telling me I'm wrong because the computer doesn't say that, he actually went and talked to the person I talked to then. He came back and told me that a mistake had been made because that person had assumed that all of the other parts were already in.
Allen then told me that the biggest hold up on my order was the Alien Respawn with a 3-5 week delay. He again took the time to check with a sales rep to find out how dropping that from my order would speed up the delivery of my system. After spending several minutes on hold and getting cut off on my cell, he called me back (didn't really believe he'd do that ) He told me that the computer was wrong, the sales rep told him all of the parts for my system were in and they should be building it this week and that it should ship between monday and friday next week. Needless to say I am much relieved.

To those AW reps that read here sometimes, I just want to say that Allen was a great help and I hope you find more like him.

I didn't relate this to scare you but to let you know in case you call and get the same runaround I did. Have paitience and ask them to check with sales because the computer may be wrong.
