[PrinceDevil]

It shipped today TT_TT Waiting waiting waiting. The EDD was 8/2/2012 but since it shipped today it'll be ahead of schedule.

Mine has a EDD of 8/6 but it shows as shipped today.

I'm jealous, mine is close to your specs and am hoping for an early ship date as well

* Edit #1 * - it shipped 07/27/2012
* Edit #2 * - it's in Toronto as of 07/30/2012 (might be delivered on the 31'st)
* Edit #3 * - 07/31/2012 It's here

The wait is over. I've literally just pulled it out of the box. Initial comparison is that compared to my m17xr3 it is, obviously, notably smaller... almost cute if you will
I was looking for something portable and think this is going to fit that requirement. Also the nebula red looks good.. it's like a dark velvet red... nothing too showy just good looking.
Anyways will give it some mileage and likely make a post about my introduction to this machine later.

Got a great deal from a referred Dell Canada rep and unexpectedly placed an order for a Nebula Red M14x at 9:30pm yesterday!

Estimated delivery date: 8/6/2012

My rep said that end of July is the fiscal year end for Dell so they should be trying to get everything out as fast as they can before the end of the month. We will see.

My M14x R2 arrived on July 30th! I have to say I didn't get too hyped up about the notebook because I didn't want to be disappointed, but man, this thing just exudes s e x appeal. (it is rather sad that the forum censors a legitimate word like that) I've never had a piece of electronics that makes you smile just typing on it.

A note with regards to people were slamming folks who choose to get Nebula Red versus Black. One person even said it was "immature" to choose red. This thing looks nothing like the red in the photos: It is a darker, metallic red, than the brighter red in the photos. It's simply not something that is easy to photograph; I can easily see a camera flash making it appear brighter than it is. For comparision, it looks closer to the red in my signature. Although, the colors are apparently bad by default on this LCD, until corrected by a color profile, so perhaps the red you see isn't the same

If the red looks immature, I don't want to know what they think a white keyboard with raspberry pink outlined touchpad and Alienware logo looks like.

To all the expectant Dads (and Moms) out there, the wait is oh so worth it.

Heeey!

I'm also from Ontario, Canada and I just recently ordered my M14X on the 26th of July (one day before Olympics! ) and it's still "in production"! I called in today hoping to find out if I could know how much longer "in production" would take but, they didn't tell me anything except what I already knew. :'( The EDD for it is on the 10th of August. I've never been so impatient before! I just really hope it ships soon! I think it might be taking so long because the one I bought was on sale until the 3rd of August. Today is day 5 of production, I hope it ships soon! Yaaay! So excited.

EDIT 07/31/12: It seems that right after I called them, it shipped off! Although, I didn't know until I checked the website at night. They never sent an e-mail which what I relied on the most. But I can't wait! :-)

EDIT 08/02/12: It has finally made it to Toronto! WOOOOT! Should be here by tommorow! So pumped!

EDIT 08/03/12: It finally made it! After 5 days in production! And only 3 days in shipping! The laptop is great. I love it

Just ordered mine today. Got the free 2 day shipping with my advantage account so I'll hopefully have it by next week.
Upgraded to the i7-3610 and 900p panel.

Sorry for the double post. But what do you guys think the chances are that I get my laptop on or before the EDD. I've looked through a ton pages of this topic and have seen a lot of different experiences. I just need it before I go back to school on the 19th. If it helps, I live in New Jersey.

Two words- One...Week...

Wow! Nevermind. That was quicker then I thought. Just shipped today
