    PS: on a side note, is the Z63 better than the Z61 model? I know their only diff is in the display.

    You should of PM'd him, but oh well :p

    I think building a laptop takes no longer then a day, as long as the parts are in stock of course. I've heard dealers say it usually takes them less then an hour to build it, but then a few more hours to test everything out. With shipping and everything, it should be less then a week, but I'm just saying this based from assumptions.

    So...

    Bump! :p

    Will,

    I suggest you give my sales guys a call. It can probably get done if you got an order in ASAP, but you'll have to get a certain shipping and stuff like that. We're pretty laid back this week waiting on the W2's to show up tomorrow and the real rush for back to school which will start next week. If you need anything you can always IM me on my screen name "PROPortable"

    hi Justin. Actually I just ordered it after having an IM session with Sean. I was told that it should be possible as I am ordering without an OS and also I ordered it with fedex 2 day shipping.

    I'm strictly under "PROPortable" now.... it's only linked in this forum and to those who know it........ "PROPortableSales" is going to be either Sean, John or Gary... this is the IM linked to the site... I apoligize but people really started using the AIM function and I'm a little busy to keep those IMs.... I've weened myself down to basically only emails addressed right to me and the posts in the forum (I've tried to cut those down as well)...... but I'm still around.
