    I know I'm being a bit too impatient here, but I've been waiting for half a month for my laptop.

    Finally found out it ships today and its EDD is tomorrow (aug 31st)

    Just curious to know from the people who've received their orders, how accurate does the package arrive vs. dell's estimated date?

    I dont know if i can wait another weekend; the anxiety is killing me!
    I live in Toronto, Ont. Canada if that means anything to the EDD.
    Would like to hear from you guys!

    Ordered August 15th,
    Shipped August 29/30th
    EDD : Aug. 31st.

    Dell Vostro 1500
    Core 2 Duo T7500
    2 Gigs ram
    Nvidia 8600M GT 256meg

    judging by the amount of delays recently - i'd say not very.
