Different laptop stages?

[xScorp1on]

What are the different stages besides build? It's now within 3 days of the estimated shipping date and it's still saying build. =/

Build > Kitting > Testing >Boxing >Shipping
kitting > testing > boxing takes one day.
boxing is 2-4 days.

I think there's Build, Kitting, Testing, Boxing, then shipped, but I could be wrong. You should check out the threads about the 1720 delays... They have some good info in them.

Okay thanks... I was wondering why it wasn't already testing... what do they do, tell it to run 3dmax and call it a day?

[Jdban]

Testing is actually when they install the stuff on your computer.

After I read that 1720 delay thread.. my hopes just plummeted. When do they tell you about a delay? I'm reading about getting emails on the day it's supposed to ship.

[Jdban]

Yeah, yours is probably delayed, if it isnt even to testing yet.
They call you the day it was expected to ship.
Trust me, it happened to me twice, I know what I am talking about.

This is great... considering I have one of the less popular colors...

If I get delayed I might as well cancel and go pick up an Asus Gx series from Newegg and have it by next week. =/

[Jdban]

you may still get the yellow by next week.

It's possible... what's the major delay right now? I would think it'd be lid colors, but I'm not too worry about that as Yellow isn't one of the big sellers. I heard something about graphics cards, and I am worried about that.
