    How long does it actually take? I ordered mine and it says I should get it by the 27th, but that seems a little too long. It's not a custom order, do they make the laptops from scratch until you order or something?

    Since this has been beat to death I will offer these wise words:
    Pretend it will take 4 days longer than your estimated delivery date, never check online to see what stage it is at, and be ecstatically surprised when it arrives a week before your estimated delivery date.

    I ordered mine last May, took about 2-3 weeks. Not too bad, considering it wasn't a busy time of the year/no holiday/etc.

    I don't exactly remember since I got mine last year, but I'd say it probably took around 1 - 2 weeks.

    I was given an ETA of 3 weeks, and was genuinely surprised when it arrived at my doorstep not 8 days after I clicked "order". Don't worry about it. It will come. =)

    I ordered my laptop from Dell UK, it took 2 weeks give or take from the day i ordered to the day it turned up at my door step.

    After it shipped my laptop appeared to have been to 11 different places before it reached me.

    Boost the springs on the F5 key on your keyboard. Plan on abusing that button as you refresh FedEx's tracking page more often than you blink.

    The arrival time was exactly like the ETA, 2 weeks, but it felt like years. That's just my opinion. I love this laptop
