So I've recently ordered a Dell Studio 1537 to replace my ancient Inspiron 6000 . I ordered it on the 10th and it's in production right now, but it says that I shouldn't receive it until the 27th! Does it really take that long? I didn't change anything, all I did was change the color. How long did it actually take to receive yours?
View 10 RepliesOrdered a Dell Studio 1537 on Thursday 26th March. Estimated delivery time is 14th April. To be honest with you. I think that is a bit of a long wait. Not very happy. On the other hand the payment cleared and it also went through pre-production within a day. It has been in production(phase 3) for 3 days now.
Other than that....
What do you guys think of it. Good laptop? My main specs are Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T4200 (2.0GHz, 800MHz, 1MB cache), 2GB RAM, 256MB ATI Mobility RADEON HD 3450, 160 GB HDD.
I ordered my M1530 on 12-8 and they say it will be shipped on 12-26
Anyone with a recent order on the M1530 and can tell me how long till shipped?
I have looked throughout the site and even emailed customer support (with no answer) but cannot find anything about average delivery times. I live in England and have order a new alienware m15x which was dispatched early on monday via ups. UPS tracking is still not active on my order (I know it can take up to 4 working days, which I find quite ridiculous frankly) and I am getting frustrated as I have no idea whats happening or when I can expect my order. I was just hoping people could give me an idea of how long it took their order to be delivered once shipped and if someone could tell me where uk alienware orders actually ship from.
I have been reading through dell forums and noticed that some american customers have had their orders listed as shipped but the orders had not actually been picked up by the carrier (i.e. ups). I wonder if anyone in the uk has experienced similar issues with delivery.
I ordered a Dell Studio 1558 on January 19, 2010.
i5-520m
4gb 1066mhz
500gb 7200rpm
ATI 4570
1080p
backlit keyboard.
I'm obviously excited about receiving it, however.... after close to a week... it's still in "pre-production."
I've called a few times. First time I was told "It could take up to 48 hours to get out of pre-production and into in-production."
Fair enough. 48 hours later it was still in pre-production, so I called back and they told me it could be a payment issue. So I called the verification department and they told me everything was 100% good to go.
Anyway, different people telling me different things, finally I landed on some honesty. A representative told me that the problem is that there is a part on back-order and so that is why it hasn't moved into production yet. I'm guessing it's the processor, what do you guys think?
Anyway, the original delivery date was projected as February 4, 2010. The guy on the phone today said that I should expect the order to be moved into production within 48 hours (I'm not so sure I believe this) and that the delivery date will probably move to February 9, 2010.
I have absolutely no problem with this, part not in stock = no problem. My issue is, different reps telling me different stories. If it comes down to waiting till February 9 and I get my laptop then, I am fine with that, but if this drags on farther, I would rather cancel my order and purchase from another company.
What do you guys think? Also, has anybody actually received their 1558 yet? What do you think of it?
2 years ago i ordered a Vostro 1700 that took ages to arrive because of i think back then screen supply problems.
Now we ordered a few new Studio 1747 with the Core i7 820 procs the order date was 1 December.. But now i got a mail that the delivery date is pushed back to 17 of February!! Wooot???
It seems that dell is many times just saying that you can order new systems but most of the time they can deliver one bit?
Its orderd from dell.nl, how are other orders doing in Europa? Are the 1747 with the Core i7 being delivered in the states?

I got my laptop back in august of 2008. Everything has been good up until a few weeks ago. From the moment I turn my computer on the CPU sit at 50% usage. I have no idea what is causing this. I can restart the laptop and as soon as vista boots up the cpu is sitting at 50% usage. According to the task manger windows explorer (explorer.exe) is using the cpu the most.
This is while at idle.
What could cause this? I thought maybe firefox was causing the problem so I uninstalled it but that only worked for about a day

On a side note, my laptop will not stay in standby. I close the lid it goes into standby and then a few min later comes back on. When it comes back on the fan is also running nonstop. Sometimes after it comes back from standby the mute and volume up buttons will be blinking. the buttons still work but they blink. I have already checked the power setting and they are not preventing standby
I will be short:
my XPS 16 in production (10 Oct est delivery) the cost is close to $1500. with Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P8600
new system I've configured is $1700 with i720 + blue ray. and a bigger battery.
Is it really worth going through all the pain of return for it?
I will be using lapotop for at least 2-3 years and I will be using it for work and playing Age of Conan for fun.
how long does it take to to start up your studioxps from pressing the on button to getting a page(google) open on firefox.
takes me about 1min 2-3sec
but only like 49sec to get logged on
for some reason msn and firefox are slow on start up, maybe its because of 64bit?
Also, stat your system specs.
I just called Dell Support to cancel my order for a Dell Studio XPS 16 notebook and they said that it could not be canceled because the system is in the final stages of production. Am I not entitled to cancel before they actually ship out the system? The rep said I have to take delivery and then call to request a refund. They have not charged my credit card yet, so could I call my bank and have them deny any forthcoming charges from Dell?

View 4 Replies View RelatedFYI, I just had a hell of a time trying to cancel my order for an XPS M1330. Customer care told me that it couldn't be done, and the manager pretty much called me a liar and hung up when I said it could.
Customer care my . Anyway, I spoke with a nice guy in XPS sales and he told me to call the Cancellation Department at 1-800-247-2076, option 2 to cancel. Called them up and they canceled the order in about 2 minutes.
I just wanted to post this to help other in case they suffer the same treatment when trying to cancel!
Im thinking about picking up this bad boy but I dont want to get caught like I did with my Inspiron 1520 when I bought it 3 years ago (I bought it and then 3 days later they bought out the 1525 which was 20% lighter etc).
Also i've heard lots of things regarding XPS machines running very hot, is it very bad? Or is it one of those things that are just blown out of proportion?
i ordered a studio 1737 on 7/14 and im currently 8 days away from my estimated ship date(8/7) and im still in the build stage .....
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am interested in the Dell Studio 15, but I'm in no rush to purchase. Is this a good time to spend the money? Is there a hardware upgrade or a new release looming?
What should I do?
From power button press to everything being loaded it takes quite a while.
I installed a bunch of stuff but everything seems clean and organized.
Is it the objectdock I installed?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have ordered, almost a month ago, a fully loaded 1645 with an i7, 8GB, 500GB, RGB screen.
I've been reading the threads about this machine and am concerned about it, because it seems to have a lot of problems, like throttling and heat. There also appear to be some problems with the RGB screen that are not yet "announced".
I am seeking to do multimedia production with this machine using Adobe CS4, as well as various audio/video applications.
I might play games from time to time, but my focus is really in production and running virtual machines for things like programming and office programs
I've ben waiting patiently(ish) for my delivery from Dell, and using the status page I've managed to follow it for so far, but the last action updated was on the 26th, nothing since........................................
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo my Dell XPS M1730 finally got shipped this morning! (Yay). The thing is the dell person expedited my order and gave me free next business day delivery.
Since it got shipped today, shouldn't it come tomorrow (Hence the name next business day)? The dell estimated delivery date says the 29th ( Which I won't be home on )
i just saw my laptop is in nashville since 6pm today what are the chances i'll get it in dallas by tomorrow anyone know? or how i can find out when it ships out of there
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow solid are Dell's estimated delivery dates? Do they ever get bumped ahead? I ordered a new Studio 17 the other day and it says in production but the ETD is November 6th.
View 10 Replies View Relatedlast night I spilled some water ( ) on my recently bought dell studio 17 laptop. It was mostly over the mouse finger pad and a little over the space bar.
It was turned on and plugged into the wall. The screen froze an nothing worked. I unplugged it from the wall and unplugged the battery and tried to tip the water out.
I left it in a tilted position overnight. It still wont turn on but when the battery goes on the white light on the side turns on.
Anyways I just wanted to get some advice on what to do. I called the Dell tech support but they were closed. If i send it in how long does that usually take and how much should i expect to pay for this type of problem?
I'm looking for a Laptop/Desktop for music recording and editing. I found out that a 15 inch MacBook Pro was going to cost me $3712.44 to ship it to norway with these specs: 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB (2x2GB), 500MB 7200 RPM.
I was okay with $2649 but this got way overpriced (in my opinion).
So I took a look at an iMac 27-inch, specs: 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 8GB (4x2GB), 1TB Serial ATA Drive (doesn't mention RPM), and this for "only" $3345.
If I'm right 2.8GHz Quad-Core is 11.2GHz (or is 2.8GHz the total?) and 3.06GHz Duo Core 7.2 GHz (or 3.06GHz).
So all the specs are better, and the screen is BIG. Seems like something I should go for?
I ordered a dell xps m 1750.. for a new business I have started.. it was due to arrive a week before a meeting so that I could use it for this meeting,
they havent told me that it was going to take an extra 2 weeks to arrive and I found out by checking the tracker!
I haven't ordered a system from Dell for over a year now, and I was just wondering if they still tended to beat their expected delivery dates (in a good sense)
or if now they actually give you an estimate that gets your hopes up for nothing.
First time ordering from Dell. I ordered an Inspiron 1318 notebook on 2/19, and the estimated shipping date is 3/6.
The estimated delivery date is 3/13. I was wondering if those dates seemed like accurate estimations or if there are likely to be delays.
I bought a Dell Mini 9 from the outlet and its already shipped. I'm having second thoughts though because of the $245 deal through Sam's club for a brand new one when I payed $230 for a used one.
I'm also not sure if I even need a netbook since I have a XPS M1530 and want to hold off until the 09 Fall Semester to get a netbook (if I decide I want one).
So my question is this: Would I be charged a 15% restocking fee if I refuse delivery? Would I be charged a 15% restocking fee for returning through Dell? Does it depend on whether I open the box or not? Would I have to pay for shipping?/not be refunded shipping/taxes?
I ordered a xps 1340, recieved it today, after working with tech support deemed the slot load rom drive is dead.
I did not get on site service when i was ordering, that said I absolutely offended by and refuse to follow their process to resolve this.
That being me shipping a laptop i have had less than 2 hours back to dell for them to hopefully fix the issue and then wait for the shipment back.
