M14x Order Status Discussion

[MikeeDinh]

I believe Truelife is on a global scale last time I checked.

hmm, on my invoice it says
320-2228 14.0 High Def+ (900p/1600x900) with WLED backlight. O_o

I'm assuming truelife is standard on all the screens.

I'm assuming truelife is standard on all the screens.

In the US dell 'help me choose a screen' site Truelife is only ticked on m17x 3D screen, weird

New update for my system...

Site is reporting my order as "SCShip Complete" [whatever SCShip means], but also as "finalizing production." I ordered on the 26th, so if that's a true status - things are moving quickly, probably helps that my order wasn't too much different than the standard base model. I plan on doing the RAM upgrade and other tweaks myself.

Victory for Sylvanas!

How long does finalizing shipping usually last for? I've been there for a day

[Mudig]

It lasted 2 days for me. Though I got my laptop on the next day of the final day it said "finalizing production." Pretty cool. I hoped to get the laptop by Monday, but I received it today.

ordered on the 24th but still in production

hey guys, i know this probably doesn't apply to everyone, but don't forget to add the easter holidays to the length of production.. maybe why it's taking longer then usual. I wonder if Dell thought to include them when giving EDD's. lol.

Don't worry Marky808.. my order status seem to take forever to change too.. thought it was never gonna get built.. then all of a sudden it went from 'build complete' to 'local courier' in no time at all. They probably had alot more orders to contend with when u ordered yours too...

still 11/05 EDD.. will probably sit at a warehouse somewhere for 1 week before it get's delivered..lol.. hope not..

[TheSpaceHamster]

I know some components can delay production, depending on availability - seems like people with relatively "standard builds" get their systems quickly.

...mine is still showing an arrival date of May 20th, but has moved to finalizing production already after two business days. We shall see!
