i used my epp of 8% and got about another 8% off after many calls to reps
i am still anoyed though because i could have got £300 off and an extra 8% if i had ordered with the voucher... nvm

Do you guys think its an ok deal ?

The £300 off voucher didn't work with EPP or any other vouchers so don't worry about it, sounds like you got a decent deal there anyway.

I am still trying to resist the unopened box next to me!
No delivery is the only reason I hate bank holidays

Hi, Jasilv21. I got the same "money back" issue and i used visa as well. But my m14x is on the way to me, EDD 3 May.
How's your money now? Do I need to call a rep to handle this?

I still got my money, I called and asked if they received my payment and they said everything is fine so I guess it might be a bank issue. I left my money in the account and won't be touching it. I expect the bank will notice the mistake and correct it if not then we got free computers lol!

Your bank takes the money out of your account while it's processing in anticipation of it going through. However, Dell doesn't actually charge you until it ships. Within a few days of shipping your money will go away again.

They took my money out the day I ordered, why would they take the money and then put it back in?

It is pre-authorization to make sure your bank details are vaild. As soon as the machine passed to courier you will find your money disappeared

[chris3145]

Transactions take two or three days to process. If you look up your account online, you'll see that some of your transactions are pending, but those pending transactions still count against your balance. If your balance didn't update until three days after each purchase, things would get frustrating.
With the Alienware computer, your transaction was pending, but then it didn't go through. The money gets returned to you (even though it had never really left yet), and then Dell charges you when they ship it.

My 14x just arrived - first impressions are that the build quality is very good. I have owned a 11x and a 15x and this is definitely better than the 11x. The hinge does feel solid and should last.

It is a nice size - very similar to the 15" MBP that I have, however this feels pretty heavy and solid.

I'll post some pictures shortly.

This blows!!! I ordered the morning it was released and mine is still in production!! Love how people that ordered a week after have already got theirs.
