1520 Jet Black Waiting Room

Also is build stage the same as in production?

 

I think build stage is a part of production stage.

 

Did anyone order the same screen as i did? (in the sig)

 

I did, still in build stage

I did, in boxing.

 

I ordered 1280 Glossy. Anyone order one of those?

 

When did you order?

 

Well, looking at these posts has made me realize that I am not the only one with problems. Just got off the phone with dell. My system has been in the boxing stage for more than 2 days! After talking with and extremely fast talking rep, he explained to me that "one part" was missing from my order. Of course when I asked him he didn't have the information on what part it was.. He assured me that he would have someone call me when they find out what the part is. I also emailed them telling them to tell me what this "one part" is. I hope that it isn't out of stock. He also assured me that my system was built, so I am guessing that it is a power cord or perhaps even packing peanuts?!?!?!?!

Yep. It's probably the best screen for gaming. Less pixels to fill means less work for the GPU and setting higher res LCD's to lower settings makes it look like s### and no one likes laggy games.

My config took 4.5 days (called on Fri Morning and it went to boxing late Sunday) to go from order to boxing. I'm hoping it shows up tomorrow, but it looks like Thursday is more likely.

 

I have the exact same spec as you... ordered mine on the 8/6 still waiting for it to move on to testing stage.

 

Where do you go to see specs like that, everytime I click Production, it tells me what each one means.

Thanks

 

Maybe he called at all of those times and wrote it down.

 

It past a week and mine did not go out of "In Production", I been hearing that Building is part of In production. Does it actually saying building on your order statues?

 

If you call the phone number that has automated order status it will tell you exactly where your order is on the production line.

 

Cool, Thanks.

I found out mines in build stage. Hopfully it in testing soon.

 

Yes I wrote all of them down for reference so I can complain to the reps, I think its a good idea if you plan to call them.

Best of luck

Just remember the boxing stage includes the shipment of the laptop from overseas to the TN place where it will actually be put in a box with all the other stuff.

 

Hey everyone. This is my first post on the forum.

Just thought I'd give you guys some hope (or dash your hopes and dreams for others)

I ordered a pretty basic Jet Black 1521 around 1:40p CST today and received my Acknowledged and Confirmed e-mails almost immediately. 9 hours later, I just called the 1-800 number and found out my laptop is in the boxing stage.

Edit: I failed to mention I got free Next Day Shipping with my EPP discount. Perhaps that expedited my order?

Here's my specs...
Dell Inspiron 1521
Jet Black
1GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm
High Resolution, glossy widescreen 15.4 inch display (1440x900)
ATI RADEON Xpress1270 HyperMemory
80G 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Vista Home Premium
8X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive
Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g Mini Card
6-cell battery

 

...wow

 

1521 are shipping fast its 1520s thats are not shipping that fast

 

Oooh I see. Should've gone with the AMD

 

Mine moved to testing today

ordered 8/1
ESD: 8/20
build Stage: 8/2-8/14
test stage : 8/15-???

 

Congrats! Mine moved to boxing just today!

 

Mine moved to nothing today

 

"thanks, one moment please."
"alright i have some important information for you to write down...."

BUILD BUILD BUILD!

Does anyone think my being in Austin, Texas has anything to do with this?

 

No it's just terrible luck, really. I live in NY.

 

It may have been the screen, I ordered WXGA instead of WXGA+

 

How long did it take for you to move from testing to boxing?

 

I called Yesterday 1:30AM PST and it was still building, I woke up this morning 7AM and it was in the boxing. So somewhere between 1:30 and 7AM

 

I think the orders status change happen during midnight since there is a time change between us and the dell factory in Malaysia. As of now, for me it is 10:30AM PST and in Malaysia it is 1:30AM.

 

Ordered my Jet black on August 13th, and it went into production on the 14th. Hopefully It won't take much longer now

 

Double post :S

 

Oops, double post :S

 

I hope that you can get your laptop very soon. On average, it seems people are getting their laptops around 10-15days average (those who ordered jetblack 1520's that is)

 

Sounds great!

 

Ordered: 7/30/07

Status as of now: Boxing

-T7100 1.8GHZ
-2GB Ram
-256MB Geforce 8600m GT
-9 Cell lithium ion
-15.4" WXGA screen (matte)

 

Did you enter boxing just today?

 

Ordered on 8/1
Status as of yesterday morning Boxing!!

 

Seems like the black lids are moving along. Anyways, does anyone have any knowledge on extended warranties? I bought my laptop with only 1 year warranty and want to upgrade to 3/4year complete care warranty. How much am I looking at and does anyone have any similar experiences? Thanks!

 

This is preposterous. I picked black with the hopes of getting earlier than the ESD. Now it looks like I'll get it on the ESD at the earliest =[

 

I'm starting to feel like we'll be lucky to get it by the ESD.

I wonder who will get theirs first, you or me taso89, the specs looks identical, and I picked black to get it faster, too...

 

I have been in boxing for 2 days now since Monday 8-13. My est ship date is Monday 8-20 with next day delievery.

T7300
black

 

It says shipped. carrier unknown. delivery between 8-20-8-22
it does say next day delivery. which should be tom or atleast friday. oh well

 

You'll deff. get it at or before your ESD, jpep13. Just be happy yours shipped :\

 

Congrats! Hope you like your new laptop once it arrives!

 

Correct me if this observation is wrong but I find that this is the lethal combination:

-Jet Black
-T7300 2.0 Ghz
-1440x900 glossy screen

Mostly because of the screen. Seems like anyone with a diff. screen but the same other components already had theirs shipped.

 

Tracking # dhl ground express, so hopefully tom by 3pm it says. It also says esd 8-20-8-22. I believe it will be here 8-16 Thursday.

 

jet black
T7300
1280x800 screen for me

still in build

 

Taso, I think you're right. Everyone else seems to be getting theirs, and mine says it's still in pre-production on the phone. It's insane, really, if they just told me this, I'd change the screen. I hate how dell's treating all of us. I talked to a guy today and he told me that it's the glass, I talked to a guy last night, and he told me it's the 6 cell battery (held up for a battery?!). I can't get a straight answer, but they all tell me the phone's wrong, I'm in build. Not even sure I believe that.

well I am happy to report that my system has been shipped! After a lot of complaining and being put on hold, my system will arrive tomorrow!

Best of luck for all you waiting out there. Don't give up hope!!!
