Wait, did they throw in the upgrade and give you the $70?

I wish! No I agreed not to cancel (and therefore not to upgrade) and instead just took the credit and was happy with my integrated graphics.

Haha... well, sorry to make you mad. We'll see. I'm still a bit befuddled as to why it makes sense for them to do that - especially in my case. I went from trying to pay an extra $100 to upgrade to getting $70 off - a $170 swing for them. They must assume that people who are trying to cancel aren't really going to replace the order? Otherwise it makes no sense at all.

Did you call them to cancel the order when it was in production stage or earlier than that?

I called them right away, like 30 minutes after placing my order. My understanding is it's only possible to cancel the order before it goes into production - once it goes in production, you have to wait for it to be shipped to you if you want to return it (per the 21-day return policy).

Same. I bet the orders of everyone who ordered on the 19th are on the same delivery. Does anyone know if FedEx delivers on Saturday?

mine's in anchorage as well. that'll probably head towards CA tonight, and probably won't be delivered to me until after memorial day

I would say to use the monitor every time you will be sitting at home and at a desk. Makes sense to me. A vga connection cable will work fine, but hdmi might be better if you monitor supports that input.

As for the wireless mouse/keyboard, use them if you don't mind having the extra cables. I plan to use a wireless mouse with mine. I just bought the new logitech anywhere mouse, and the thing is AWESOME! If you pair it with a logitech wireless k340 keyboard, and you're golden. It will only use one dongle or usb connector, so you'll still have plenty of open slots. Granted, this is a lot of money, but if you plan to use it a lot at home or even in hotels and such, this is a nice option. Both are portable and easy to connect/use.

Thanks! Sounds reasonable. As for that wireless set, looks awesome. Must resist urge to buy on impulse...

Just got off the phone with a friend who works for FedEx and he tells me that they do deliver to residential addresses on Saturday's so there is hope. I figure it will leave Anchorage later today, travel across the country tomorrow, and get delivered to me on Saturday. I can dream, can't I?

[jttran241]

Haha travel across the country in almost two days to deliver on Saturday would be a stretch but Im still gonna hope anyways. It's possible for those on the west coast but I live in mass so my chances are def lower. What I do hope tho is that the package arrives to a facility nearby and I'll just drive up and pick it up myself.

You never know. The distance from Shanghai to Anchorage is twice the distance from Anchorage to the east coast
