    The 1705e that was suppose to show up this Monday was cancelled today (Sat) for NO REASON!! I called about 6 different #s before someone could help me figure out what was going on, which was nothing! The man looked over the documentation and didn't find an error. So he placed a new order w/ the same configures but added as bonuses: 4yr@home warranty vs the 3yr depot, upped the 6cell to 9cell battery (I thought I had ordered in the 1st order DOH), upped 120 to 160 HD and a $75 gc. Gotta call back and get the shipping changed to next day dangit.

    I just want the machine on Monday :(

    Most of the wait time is the freakin shipping from maylasa. Its been a great machine for me i really like it. Lots of power great screen and a boat load of usb ports. Oh and that 9cell bat will last 3 hours doing minor stuff im glad i got it. Enjoy

    It should be here today (Thurs) that was fast - 8pm sat. re-order, in boxing tues and shipped Weds. UPS's tracking is not helping me at all, it says ground shipping and Dell says it shipping Nextday. Come on UPS, I'm leaving tomorrow morning for 5 days and NEEEED it. (said in my best whiny voice)

    Can I ASSume that it really is going to show up today via UPS afternoon delivery? bueller? bueller? Anyone?

    At least you received free upgrades for your trouble.
