Well on April Fools day I woke up with all intention's of canceling my order with Dell and going with PC Tourqe for a new Sager 8870. Thinking that the 17" screen would be better anyway. But Dell's site now list my machine as shipped today with an arrival of tomorrow so we'll see.

Hope it's not an April Fool's joke

Enjoy your new machine... you're gonna love it!

I really hope that means my 9100 has shipped. I'm going to go check right now!

The ArchAngel · 04-01-2004, 06:39 AM

I checked a few minutes ago, and my i9100 shipped today! Should be here tomorrow afternoon.

Same exact story here. My i9100 was ordered 3/7.

Cannot wait to get the computer and start tinkering. I plan on leaving it up all night to download patches and whatnot, the spending Saturday at work removing whatever Dell software I don't need and installing all of my games and other software.

SimpsonFan · 04-01-2004, 12:23 PM

I ordered on 3/7 see signature for specs if you need more let me know. It stayed in preproduction till this last Monday and went from kitting to boxing in one day and shipped today.

BBerman · 04-01-2004, 01:15 PM

argh, i have the same specs as you, ordered 2/25, went from kitting to boxing from mon/tues. looks like it's not first come first serve;(

oh well, i'll enjoy when i get it. I bet i paid less too!

betazen · 04-01-2004, 05:36 PM

Same as Simpsonfan. I ordered March 10. I'm in NYC so perhaps it has to do with location?

Jap_ · 04-01-2004, 07:18 PM

LOL.. I ordered mine on Febuary 25th... Website just changed to shipped today!!

Yoob@NBF · 04-01-2004, 08:20 PM
