Looks like I got exactly the same laptop as you
Part of what did it for me is that I am literally paying within $100 of the same price as my 13 was spec'd at but getting more battery, CPU, GPU, screen, SSD, a storage HDD, etc. The cooling is likely a little larger but I am not expecting a large delta there. Perhaps it was due to the OLED screen, but the 13 is just too expensive for what you get in my opinion.
For those interested, the attached shows the different models and their relative sizes plus the Razer Blade that I currently have and some high level specs.
I will also mention that there is a sizable gap between the 1060 and 1070 which made the 15 with the 1070 around the same price very appealing. For this I refer to the always helpful Wikipedia

Got 2x oled 13's on order, both just shipped.
Will post photos and review when it arrivesjedolley likes this. -
@ninja2000 So your order jumped from "pre production" directly to shipped?
-
i ordered the version with 8gb/256gb ssd on the phone.
if i end up liking it i can probably just add a 960 pro 1tb and some better ram (not sure i need more than 8gb tho)
sales rep saved me some money too -
Loooonnnng!

My first order was due 25/11/12 and then pushed to the 6th like you but I am sure we will see them by the end of next week (as it normally takes 4-5 days in transit) -
Eugh! 2 more weeks to go.

Does anyone know if all AW 13 R3s are delivered from China? I have ordered my AW 17R4 from Germany and it was delivered from China.

Today got a strange answer from dell regarding the *pre production phase*. Have phoned them 3 days ago.
The Dell person says that they do not have the graphics card in stock and it could last until mid of december.
Well i don't trust this infomation because many of us went into production today. Very interesting how Dell works and how they share information...
I guess the right hand doesn't know what the left does. -

I ordered my first when orders first opened in the UK and I ordered my second Thursday evening. Both have been shipped! I don't understand why yours hasn't unless you have a part that is out of stock.
I ordered:
OLED/6700/32GB/256GB & OLED/6700/8GB/180GB -
when is your delivery estimate 6/12 -
how many m.2 slots will be spare i have mine coming with the 512gb
is it 2 slots in total -
Wanted to order this today! Just wanted to know if there are any coupon codes/deals for these currently!
-
The 13 r3 has two m.2 slots. I also believe both can do either pcie or sata. I will test when mine arrivesdavver99 likes this. -
Just pulled trigger on OLED 13, Extra 1year accidental cover and 1535 WiFi for £1554.
Happy with that price .
Delivery date of 12/12/16.
Cant wait!!

go to dubai 6/12 for a week on holiday hope its early -
I'll have to double check the owner's manual, but I remember reading this somewhere. -
i was wondering why i never got my conformation email last night so i called up dell and they sent it to the wrong email address ._.
so the native English speaker from Canada got it wrong, but the super nice non native English speaker from India got it right. for all those of us who thought all the outsourcing help was bad
anyways now i can confirm my price. paid $1705.07 after tax for the oled 256gb model. pretty happy with that. assuming they send the right model and not last years (not too impressed with dell's success rate)
Estimated Delivery Date: 12/5/2016 - 12/13/2016
also check with the reseller like hidevelution. theyre advertising the 2tb 960 pros with the 13s, so theres a possibility you be able to have 4TB in the alienware 13Last edited: Nov 25, 2016 -

i called to ask if i could still get the 10% they activated today. big mistake
instead of just crediting me they canceled my order, to re-ordering it.
so now i have to wait for the pending charge to drop of my card from the cancelled order then reorder. by then the laptop will probably more expensiveLast edited: Nov 26, 2016 -
Has anyone a link to full teardown please? Just want to see how much effort is involved to repast and give a good clean.
The old m15x was great for this.
Cheers.

lol ... not "re paste it at once" surely you will give it a good thrashing first to get the proper stock temps and make sure there is no underlying faults before a full strip down?
u never know you could get a golden sample thats 60c at load ...... yeah right...

Edit: who wants a 256GB nvm ssd cheap? =) -
just pop the nvme into the spare slot, run macrium, choose clone drive, making sure to check the box where it extends the main partition to use all the new drive space when it done shut down, remove you old 256gb and reboot job done should take more than 20 mins all in. -
Thx for the tip! I thought respawn also could make a win 10 clean USB drive, so I could install a clean copy of win 10. If not I feel scammed by dell haha...

in fact you can just make a bootable copy of windows straight from the microsoft site using the win 10 tool... https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
with macrium it just clones perfectly no messing then remove old C drive reboot and it's like nothing changed except the drive is now 4x bigger...
macrium is just awesome though, once you have used it there's no turning back .... imhohmscott and s4lem0nsen like this. -
The 960s are available (and 961s) they even have a 2tb nvme 960. I saw it last night. But back away from the price

This review says the EVO performs on par with xg3.

Am I missing something on the toshiba? -
I'm sure someone has asked this question, but does the 8GB model use a single 8GB ram stick or two 4GB sticks? I'm thinking of buying the 8GB model and then upgrading it myself to 16GB hoping it'll be cheaper
-
1 370-ACRZ 8GB DDR4 (1x8GB)
With that said, is there an issue if you put in a different 8GB stick? Or is it fine as long as the stats match (i.e. 8GB DDR4 2400)? -
My AW 13 OLED ordered from Germany Stands now on "sent"

My order has shipped today (OLED, UK). The tracking id shows eta as 8th Dec. People are reporting about 4 days from ship date for actual delivery time, so hopefully will have it on the 1st Dec next Thursday.
A better explanation on this i found in the below link.
