Dell Is Canceling All Order Of Xps 1330+7700

[SLK]

Here in europe because of one incompatibility problem.
so dont order with the 7700 or you will never see your lappy

[monkhi]

can you elaborate on that? is it thermal issues? it seems unlikely there is a compatibility with the hardware since santa rosa supports the T7700. there was also a Chinese review of the M1330 with T7700.

who did you get this information from?

[SLK]

i get the info from the dell rep and all the guys that had ordrered one 1330 with 7700 here got theirs ordrers canceled
They dont say what is exacly the problem just "compatibility issue" but i think its heat

The Chinese site is still listing the 2.4GHz cpu as an option (though one reason I went for 2.2 was I didn't want to run too close to the margin on heat).

Remember - the environment here in China can be quite hot too.

on the european dell site the 7700 is no more listed

Appears to be gone in the US as well...

You're right. It's gone from the SMB site (the only general store you could choose the T7700 before).

No big deal, the fastest processor was always the biggest rip-off (something like $500 extra for an extra 200Mhz over the 2.2). Just get a 1.8/2.0 and upgrade manually in a year when the price drops.

Has anyone ordered a M1330 with T7700 in the US that has had their order canceled?
