    They have a lot of back order issues on Dell.ca, so the CPU they offer now could be the only one they can put in the machine to be shipped as soon as possible.
    Mine was delayed 3 times before they found a 500 Gb HDD. They told me those were back ordered.
    If you can, avoid ordering a Dell online.

    I ordered from them on 9/10/2011 and had several options (i think maybe 4) but now there are only 2 to choose from:

    Intel® Core™ i5 2540M 2.6GHz (3.3 GHz w/Turbo Boost, 3MB Cache)

    Or

    Intel® Core™ i7 2630QM 2.0GHz (2.9GHz w/Turbo Boost, 6MB Cache)
