    I ordered only on 2-3-06 and it shipped on 2-8-06. Can't wait for it to show up. Yeah, yeah, I know it's not a top of the line system but my old laptop was almost 4 years old so i'm sure it will be a huge improvement. :)

    Congrads on your new laptop!

    They'res no cooler moment than the first time you take it out of the box, open the lid, and just look at that blank screen for the first time. I think it's the same feeling no matter the brand or the specs. =)

    Got it today. It actually received it inside of a week of ordering it. Pretty good so far.

    There's so much garbage software built into it that it's not even funny. It's like i'm immediately overrun by google info.

    Yea... it usually takes a few hours to uninstall all that useless trial software. When I first got my XPS M140, it had over 60 processes running in the background! After uninstalling software, and making it so software doesn't start when I boot up the system via "msconfig" it was quite a bit faster and now I only have 40 processes running.
