Update on Radeon 7970m (Sager/Resellers)

You mean international date format. Only the US does it that way( MDY).
Just saying.

Moment of truth. Crossing fingers and hoping shipments of 7970m GPU's are in the hands of the sellers.

Seriously. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, but... I really really REALLY freaking hope that they get delivered today :[

Also, I don't know if this matters, but I noticed that for Alienware laptops pretty much all the M17x systems that you could order with the 7970m over the past couple weeks had a ship date of 5/28, no matter when you placed the order. I mean, I spec'd it a couple times because I was considering buying one, and I just noticed that the ship date was *always* 5/28 even when I spec'd it much later on. Alienware would conceivably be getting the 7970m at the same time as the clevo resellers, so maybe that means something... and a ship date of 5/28 for them would definitely jive with everybody getting the actual GPUs on 5/11 to start building... but maybe this is just wishful thinking on my part.

Regardless, I just... really really really hope they arrive today. My birthday is coming up really soon and it would be such a wonderful thing if I actually had my laptop in time for that ^___^

I ordered my P150 last year the week the 6970m was released. It took almost 6 weeks to turn up.
I'm just saying this so all of you waiting for their new laptop aren't surprised when it takes longer than you thought. There's bound to be limited supply and a long queue.

Well, I've been told I'm at the top of the line and there's an additional note on my order that says my laptop will be finished ASAP as soon as the part comes in (due to other difficulties I've had) so I'm sincerely hopeful it won't take 6 more weeks. You never know, though. My motto is, "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best!"

Alienware, or Dell whichever you call it manufactures notebooks on a massive scale and there factories are able to quickly able to build notebooks, it should take them in fact only one week to build any notebook with the amount of orders they get. I remember ordering an alienware and only took them a week maybe two because they had such an abundant amount of orders.

Stop lying to yourself guys, it's not coming today...LOL

[egoistmusketeer]

Can anyone confirm whether or not they actually received their order today?

[thailandgod]

I might arrive on June who knows? lol

Eh, I guess the US is just trying to be different. I wish they wouldn't, I like the metric system so much more than... whatever ours is called.
