    Wow I ordered mine on the 7th and my EDD is the 30th... As of today mine is still in production. I guarantee that mine gets to the EDD then Dell pushes it back to next month or something. This always happens to me. 3 times in a row with dell now. Guess they hate people from Ohio. It SHOULD finish this week, but I'm doubting it. What's the longest these things take?

    Called to-day out of morbid curiosity and was still told that it would arrive on Friday. Though I still wonder... Good to know that yours is to arrive tomorrow iPhantomhives I don't think I'd enjoy waiting all the way to June 4th.

    This is crap. Maybe it's just my luck. The site says 30th. Still, I have that guy feeling that it's going to get backordered. I'm going to be in Florida for a month if If it's later than the 4th. If I don't get it by them I'm going to have to cancel my order.

    So disheartened, it got pushed back to the 7th of June. I called and there was literally no reason for delay. It is just being "tested". It's almost as if they are too lazy to ship it. :( Congrats ImportJunky and iPhantomhives I

    Hi all! I'm new. Been stalking this thread for a couple of days now because I'm also tantalizingly waiting for my alienware m14x to arrive!! Dell gave a long gap of a EDD from my order date, (order date 17th may estimate delivary 1st june) and i had an email in the 22nd from ups stating that it's shipped and planned to arrive today so i'm SO excited, I CANT wait for it to arrive. I was SO happy that it'll arrive earlier than EDD but faced total let down today when it didnt arrive!! Checked the shipment track and it said it's delayed flight from germany due to aircraft mechanical reasons :((( totally gutted, hope i get my hands on it soon! Wonder if anyone else here is having the same thing? I live in the UK

    I'm in Shreveport Louisiana. My M14x appears to have shipped from Atlanta on the 23rd, and it's out for delivery this morning. I actually used the web to track it on the dell site, and it was late coming out of In Production...in fact the Iphone dell app tipped me off to the fact it was completed and shipped about 12 hours before the dell site did.

    So, on the day my parcel was to originally arrive; I get a shipping notice. One would think that I'd at least be relieved alas I had not opted for Saturday shipping. Monday is an observed holiday. I wont be getting it until the 29th at earliest. I am rather malcontent and it leaves a very sour taste in my mouth. Congrats to those on arrivals and shipping!

    unfortunately there is no latest driver for our gt650m yet. I'd say keep current driver until dell updates it.

    You won't get actual one until you receive your shipping tracking numbers. If you got the tracking eg;fedex then go to fedex site for actual tracking.

    They ship your laptop from China , they won't tell u the "actual details" they only writes "still in production".

    There was a post on this forum to know your real production status, i.e. kitting, build, testing or boxing(shipping from china to us).

    But that method isnt working now!
