Dell XPS M1330 Review

Thank god I got black from the Dell Canada site. It shipped out 2 days ago.

@ carnifex2005: did yours actually ship? Mine got canceled 4 times so far, with the last cancellation happening ~July 31st. My salesperson claims Dell's trying to make the original EDD, which means mine should ship Monday, but I really don't believe it.

Just wondering if us up North will be getting any love from Dell anytime soon...

Mine shipped out on July 31st. Purolator has it on their truck and it's in Calgary now. I should get it Tues or Weds. I did order mine about 2 hours after it got posted on the Dell Canada website so that may be why I'm getting it.

Was yours ever canceled?

Things like fans do not annoy me, but squeaks, and intermittent sounds like clicking or beeps bug the hell out of me.

I'm the other way around. Temporary sounds are ok by me, but I of course turn of terminal bells and the system beeps, etc, if I can, but constant droning sounds bug me.

My current laptop runs the fan 75-80% of the time, and it's getting noisier as it's getting older. It's also not at all as powerful as modern systems (it's maybe 2 - 2.5 years old), so I think it's time to upgrade.

No. I always had a shipping date of Aug. 13th after I ordered it.

Me too!!! They did not give me NBD shipping apparently, though...

EDIT: they did give me NBD as I was just called by a case manager and given a tracking number!!!!

Weird.
Ordered on July 28. Production date was July 28, and ship date was August 1.
However, my expected delivery date is September 3.
I'm using the online tracking thing from Dell.
