So just got off my weekly chat session with dell, and have scheduled my time for chat again next week with someone else with no information, and had me wondering if anyone who ordered a 1720 with a color other then BLACK, or WHITE had any good news on their purchase, other then the usual hell status known as BUILD?

one delay -

congrats XXXKul... let us know how you like it! I think our specs are just about the same besides the graphic card... I'm not really into gaming... but definitely post and let us know if the wait and craziness was worth it!

looks like we have about the same specs... (give or take a few...) was there still a delay on the graphics card?
-
I'm not aware of any delay with the graphic card we ordered. I just ordered yesterday, (even though my order date says today, the 20th). I'm going to monitor this thread and see if you guys get yours on time before I get antsy.
Were you told of a video card delay? -
Hope I get mine that fast XxXKUL!!
-
I think it's just a way of covering up color backorders. -
dell newbie
i hope mine is coming too
cause we have really similar specs besides cpu -
I'm in line behind you guys. I will wait as long as I have to, because this is the computer I want and I'll be unhappy with anything else.
At least they told me ahead of time that it was gonna be 6 weeks before I got it, but it will be worth it.
I'll start to be optimistic when some of the other people get theirs first. Time goes by fast. It will be here soon. -

It says while ordering that the graphics cards are delayed... now, supposedly according to their longest delay option, my computer should go into the real build stage today, being in boxing by the end of the day... but so far, nada. still in build exile.
-
-
dang, I already have my black but am now wondering if I should've canceled my blue...... nevermind. I'm glad I have my laptop already.

Okay... so it's not actually my graphic card... it's the integrated graphics accelerator, which Philharmoniker pointed out in another thread is actually the motherboard... The website updated the delay today and has cut it down to 5 Days... So I guess that means more are coming on the 29th? not really sure...
xscorp1on... i'm beginning to wonder if all the delays listed are just a way to cover up the delay on the lids, because none of the lid delays have been shortened at all... just the motherboard delay for the 1720... (7 Day wait cut down to 5 today) and for the 1520 (2 Day wait cut down to 0 today)... I just started keeping track yesterday... so we'll see how it progresses and if people actually start seeing their stuff move into other stages than build... -

Well,,,,, as of a min ago still in boxing so guess i am one of the lucky ones who gets to sit in boxing for up to 5 days since dells boxes can only be put together by those with 190 IQ =)

Have you tried calling Dell and seeing if you can get any compensation for the delay flafalcon?
-
-
i m trying hard to be patient
but
i really dont wanna have no computer to use after school starts -
-
bionic_butterfly Notebook Consultant
I would call and at least try to see what the situation is. I don't know how helpful the CSR will be, or if you'll even be able to understand them... but you might luck out and get something. But hopefully you get even luckier and it goes into a different production stage...
-
hopefully dell puts out all the EPP purchases by the end of august.
i mean, it should, right, as school starts -
I ordered my 1720 & 1721 on Dells website on July 13 & 14 and have still not passed the build stage for either one. It is getting kinda rediculous at this point and I'm very upset, but I can't do anything about it because I can't afford to try for anything different. What is funny is that they are still selling the 1721 on QVC's website. Two people have even writen reviews? I'd like to know how they are getting thiers to the customers when we can't get ours in a month+ ? I wonder if Dell has run out of Boxes to put them in and that is what is delaying the shipment because I have heard from different sources that the different parts/materials they are out of are suppose to be in now?

The delays are from the color lids, and it just so happens you picked two of the most out of stock colors (blue and pink). Generally black (even though that's starting to get delayed) and white will not suffer from backorders. Going with a vostro also usually guarantees a faster ship date.
-
I called them yesterday to get some updates. The CSR told me that it was my GPU that was holding things up and I should cancel and downgrade the GPU. I of course told her no. Though I did receive my accessories I ordered on Sunday yesterday (minus my Zune currently on BO to)
-
hope for the rest of the midnight blue waiters, mine went to shipping this morning.
