    Hello, i just ordered my i9100 today. Surprisingly it has gone through Order Processsing, Pre-Production, Kitting, Build, and Testing all in one day. The only ones that have not been checked are boxing and shipping. Im just wondering if this is normal. The estimated ship date is still June4, but with my system built and tested awaiting boxing, will i get my laptop sooner than the stated?

    Thanks!

    i cant wait for my laptop, hope its everything that's been hyped and more! :)

    Did you get any sort of expediated shipping?

    I just ordered a 5150 today - now I can't wait until it comes .... I am so excited. I got about $400 off the web price as well [ :D]

    no expidited treatment for the build of the laptop, however i did get in on the 2day shipping.

    i actually had to reorder my system yesterday morning because i found on this site that the coupon had increased to 20% !!! so now i saved 500 bucks on my system, paying the same price, and have a 8X DL DVD Burner :)

    as of this morning i am, again awaiting my system to be boxed and shipped. i guess it only takes the folks one day to build a system.... and one day to box... ::scratches head:: haha anyhow, i cant wait for my 9100 to come in!!!! [ :D]

    This happened with my 9100 also! But the funny thing was, it took them a whole day to box the friggin thing, but it was shipped the same day as it was boxed (I wonder if it's really one step?). You'll definitely get your laptop soon after the 4th, though the holiday on Monday may slow it up a bit.

    My 9100 is due June 4th as well. Still in Boxing mode as of Wed night.

    Can we go back to Dell and have them adjust the cost of the laptop if they offer better deals while the order is being processed?
