M17x Order Status Discussion - Part 4

[hc2995]

The word is they are getting a shipment by this Friday. Not sure how many are in this order, but if it is true and they have enough, then we all might be getting our orders around that time.

I sure hope so. Did anyone call or get a call from their case reps? Mine called me but he could just be blowing smoke up my .

Nothing today, but yesterday mine seemed confident that the 7th was still good. He even implied that a bit earlier may be possible.

Mine called yesterday (as he said he would) but still the same thing: they are expecting a shipment around the 5th but could be earlier. Nothing concrete.

Awesome...that makes me feel better about my purchase now! I was freaking out thinking man I may have just chose an option that would make my new machine obsolete in a year! It's a good thing I cancelled my original order and upgraded to the 580 from the 560.

If in the future though I wanted to upgrade CPU, could it be done?

You can most definitely upgrade your CPU later. It's probably the the most easily accessible I've seen in a laptop. (I would recommend keeping the old one as long as you gave warranty, though.)

Also, I would recommend an SSD as the best possible upgrade for a computer. The overall difference is wonderful. The only down side is you will never want to go back.

Edit: I also feel bad for everyone waiting on a 580m. Good luck, and I hope you receive your beasts soon.

Looks like the 580M is about to be replaced it has been pulled from most of the Sager Model offerings as well, judging from posts in the Sager/Clevo section here.

That could just mean there is a mass shortage right now. I've seen both the 580m and 6990m get pulled from an order page only to be put back up a few weeks later.

On another note, just heard from my rep that I am on the list for the next shipment and that they will be filled in order of purchase. Looks as if they are expecting their shipment soon. This is the first time he has said something other than,"We are still waiting to hear back from the manufacturer." Fingers still crossed.

So it looks like a lot of us are hearing the same thing so it looks promising that we will receive our units soon. Getting excited now.

Doubt you get pushed ahead of us. We've all been put in as "rush" order well before you. Does it mean anything if your order was sent in "rush" status more than once?

Besides, I think all of our orders are in "rush" order status because of the delay.
