I'm getting this information - and i assume the others are doing something similar too - off UPS's tracking site, once Dell (Alienware) have built my laptop and sent a tracking link to my email address
EDIT:
I do have an account on Dells website - but their tracking works without me logging in so long as i have the Order number ready to input
-
-
Im sure when you order as a guest it creates an account for you anyway. I ordered as a guess and was able to check my order status etc... -
Oh, so you just use the tracking number. Can you share this tracking number with anybody? xD
-
Order Date: 8/8/2010
Estimated Delivery Date:9/1/2010
Order Status:In Production
Tracking Number: Not Shipped
OMG, I have waited it for a week. And didn't get any news. -
TAMWORTH, GB 17/08/2010 12:34 ARRIVAL SCAN
I also have the day off work tomorrow to play with it all day . Why the hell did they take it to Tamworth? That's further away from my house than the last place lol. I was hoping to get it first thing in the morning, but I probably wont now. -
Finally it's been shipped!
EDD changed from the 20th to tomorrow as expected with NBD shipping. No tracking number yet, but I don't really need to track it for just one day.
Now the only problem is that I'm moving into my dorm tomorrow, and it will arrive while I'm gone, but my parents can sign for it and bring it up to me Thursday. Means I'll have to wait an extra day to get my hands on it, but that's okay. I'm pumped. -
ordered mine 08/07/10
EDD: 08/26/10
still in production stage -
My M15x landed at 12:30pm today at my Mom's office. Good thing I had it delivered there cause I was sleeping. I had a 7 day total order to delivery time. 8/10-8/17. I'd say that's pretty damn good, especially for a computer like this.
I love this thing, it has a nice, sturdy feel to it, the 1080p screen looks amazing. The alienfx really sets it off too, even though it's on stock colors and I have no idea how to change it yet.
The only thing that I don't like about it is the touchpad, it's very slow and I'll be doing a workaround with the synaptics driver too. Another thing I noticed while typing this is that I need to change the palm touchpad sensitivity because my cursor keeps jumping while I type.
The keys are very nice, and the keyboard is quite comfortable to type on and takes little to no learning time coming from the full size GEN1 Logitech G15 Keyboard.
And now, for some pictures.
Nameplate
Can't even take a picture because the screen is so glossy. It Blinds.

@Devilsmed98:
I advice you to not use your laptop on the bed like on the picture. Buy some piece of wood to place it under so that the fans get some air. Otherwise the lappie will overheat -
This thing gets real hot, any recommendations for temperature monitoring programs? -
Half an hour it's the 18th of August, been at the pub tonight and am celebrating getting my laptop with a big ol' fatty in its glory. -
Ouch, realized a few hours ago that when it's delivered tomorrow, no one will be here to pick it up.
Anyone know if I can call Fed-Ex and get them to delay shipping a day? -
-
CHELMSFORD, GB 18/08/2010 5:31 OUT FOR DELIVERY
Sweet, Chelmsford is like ten miles away from my house. Let's hope I get it nice and early today . -
Mines out for delivery... not long now
-
Our laptops must be in the same van lol, where abouts do you live?
Lol, I ordered a new laptop charger for my Dell Inspiron, and I just know that's going to arrive first and I'll think the person knocking at the door has my M15X, but nooo it'll be a laptop charger lol. -
\o/ its arrived! its going to sit at home now and wait for me to come home tomorrow
-
-
-
Im not too far from Chester Ukera. -
Mine arrived, I'm posting this from my AlienWare laptop!
-
Still not here, damn UPS.
-
First impressions anyway?
The suspense is infuriating me! -
-
Mines arrived at home just now!
Now I have to wait for my girlfriend to drive it to my work! -
Now why didnt I think of that. I've got to wait until tomorrow afternoon to see mine - its waiting in its box for me -
Well I have been using it for most of this afternoon now and overall I am VERY impressed.
Its very solid and feels very durable.
The screen will require some getting used to as I opted for the 1920x1080 resolution which feels a little small for the size of screen. I have increased text size etc..
This thing is also a FINGER PRINT magnet and is going to need some constant wiping but dont let that put you off! -
My shipping info hasn't updated once since Saturday... Still in transit in US. Probably won't be here till next week
-
OH BABY JUST GOT THE MESSAGE FROM PUROLATOR IT'LL BE HERE TOMORROW!!! YES! Alright had to get that out of my system. Wow this is amazing it feels like I'm running on adrenaline I'm so excited lol. Hopefully all of your guys's Aliens make first contact before the weekend. This is the first time I'll have a computer with an actual graphics card that can play games. Not to mention my first laptop. Last computer I bought was an HP slimline in 2005 with 512mb of ram. My alien will have 12x that! Haha ok I'm done. Hopefully I'll post some pics unless my head explodes when opening it. Now to get my shift tomorrow night taken... Or develop an illness that prevents me from working
-
You're going to love your machine, Schollz. It's worth every penny IMO.
-
You will make love to it... in a nice way.
-
You got to use it yet, Sam?
-
and we want pix! -
schollz your lucky ordered mine the 13th....still not shipped... =( i hope it comes as quick as it did for some people
-
The trippy thing is the purolator tracking link from The order status page still says in transit in the US. I'm gonna trust the phone call though. So if your shipping status hasn't updated maybe it's like mine and pretty much stays the same until it arrives for whatver reason. It better get here tomorrow I can't stand a tease like that. And to cubankid117 I ordered on the 4th and it switched to shipping on the 14th so your still fairly early in the "in-production" stage. Poor s.o.b. lol. If mine does actually arrive tomorrow it'll be pretty much exactly 2 weeks since I ordered. Good on Alienware.
-
so excited...cant wait!!! then ff14 i gotta wait for....****...its in the build stage
-
Trying not to do much because I get my SSD Monday so will leave the majority of installing until then. -
-
Ok My Computer Is In Boxing Stage>>think Itll Ship Today???
-
Its everything I hoped it could be and more. I have to go to work but will post a better update later. Maybe some pics as well.
-
Hey Schollz, how long did it take for you to clear customs? Purolator still says in transit and its already been 2 days =[
Did it go straight from TN to AB? -
Look my sig, oh yeah!!!!
-
-
Thanks Schollz! oh one more question, i got a call from Purolator today and they said my EDD is the 24th, thats Tuesday, my EDD from Dell is the 23rd. Would you happen to know if Purolators is accurate? Thank you!!!
-
@schollz: gratz on the machine, you lucky ******* -
Got my computer yesterday! Haven't posted because I just got internet set up in my dorm. Believe it or not, moving out for the first time is more stressful than waiting for the laptop!
Pictures coming soon. I got mine in silver and I'm super happy that I did, after seeing black in person I was doubtful, but getting the silver machine I wouldn't go any other way, it's gorgeous.
Loving it so far! Haven't even set up any games yet. -
