    I ordered a a laptop, it is now in the boxing stage, think it will get shipped soon? They say it will be shipped in a week in a half.

    thanks

    I'm in the same boat. My original ship date (from web site) was 19 March. After I placed the order, I have a ship date of 26 March. My theory is that Dell has a standing charter plane reservation from Malaysia where they are assembled to the US every Wednesday. I'm hoping that mine is on that plane right now and will ship tomorrow, per the original ship date! If there aren't enough systems to fill the charter, or if there are too many, then that could cause a delay until next week.

    I used info from that thread for my theory ;)

    WooHoo! Ordered mine on the 11th and it went into boxing on the 16th and now I just got updated info that it's in shipping and should be here on the 21st!
