    Here are the graphics options for Inspiron 1720 as the currently appear on the ordering website (I've added the boldface):

    Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 [Included in Price]
    May delay your Inspiron 1720 ship date
    128MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GS [add $100 or $3/month1]
    May delay your Inspiron 1720 ship date
    256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600M GT [add $200 or $6/month1]
    May delay your Inspiron 1720 ship date
    Required for Blu-ray drive

    So, in other words, if you want to avoid a delay..."Yes, I'd like to order a computer with no graphics...no, not integrated graphics, no graphics at all, please. Braille, if you don't mind."

    :D

    I got a good laugh at looking at the 1420 colored lids with NO DELAYS this morning (black, white, red, blue) Yah, I'd love to see a red or blue come out w/o delay!!! I imagined all the poor suckers ordering those today, with absolutely no clue of what is to come LOL

    They should just have the following disclaimer under the Dell logo on Dell.com

    Dell.com
    -ordering from Dell may delay your order-
