    I ordered an Inspiron 1501 refurbished from Dell Outlet on 12/12/06. It is 12/14/06 and I have only received an acknowledgment, not a confirmation. I guess I will call tomorrow, although I am starting to get slightly worried about my order as I have heard many horror stories about Dell customer service after the sale.

    Specs:
    Inspiron 1501 Notebook: Mobile AMD Sempron 3500+ (1.8GHz/512KB)
    Certified Refurbished
    1 GB DDR2 SDRAM 533MHz (2 DIMMs)
    15.4 WXGA Notebook Screen Display with TrueLife
    6 Cell Primary Battery
    8X DVD +/- RW w/dbl layer write capability
    1390 Wireless Card
    Genuine Windows XP Home
    ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 256MB HyperMemory
    80 GB EIDE SATA Hard Drive (5400 RPM)
    65W Adapter

    It was only $609, and this config sells at $759 new. But I noticed that the 80 GB SATA drive is not an option when buying new. I have also read many places that people sometimes do not receive what they order? Should I have any reason to be worried?

    Hey drfuller I wouldn't worry to much about it. Right now they are shipping products out like they are going out of style. Literally. Anyways looks like a pretty descent machine. I ordered on the 9th and didnt get confirmation until the 12. It takes them a few days to get there stuff together. If you dont hear anything by 4 tomorrow give them a call.
