    I recently placed an order for a Vostro 1700, in the UK. I placed the order on the 20/02/08, the dell online order status checker says:

    Pre-Production as of 21/02/08

    Your Order is being prepared for production.

    A few hours after I few placed the order, dell had already taken the payment for laptop, does that normally happen so quickly? I now have recieved an EDD of 10/03/08.

    I have ordered the following spec:

    BASE Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7250 (2.00 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2-cache)
    OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows Vista® Ultimate (32Bit) - English
    SUPPORT SERVICES 1Yr Basic Warranty - Next Business Day Included - No Upgrade Selected
    LCD 17" Wide Screen WXGA+ (1440 x 900) Display with TrueLife™
    INTEGRATED WEBCAM Matte Jet Black with 2.0 mega pixel camera
    MEMORY 3072MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM (1x1024 + 1x2048 MB)
    HARD DRIVE 160GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive
    GRAPHICS CARD 256MB nVidia® GeForce® 8600M GT
    OPTICAL DRIVE Fixed Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Drive including Software
    PRIMARY BATTERY Primary 6-cell Lithium-Ion Battery (56 WHr)
    X-large nylon carrycase

    Does anyone think that there will be any delays.

    Thanks in advance

    Mine has the same specs as yours. Order placed on 18th Feb, payment taken a week later, and the estimated delivery time WAS 6th Mar until this morning it changed to 8th Apr! Called three times and all reps said there is nothing they can do. Apparently they are still waiting on some parts to arraive. Didn't know it would take Dell one and a half month to build one laptop, so good luck buddy. Hope your luck is not as bad as mine.
