Re: Just ordered a new laptop
Doesn't seem like a bad price at all. Most I've seen with those features are a bit more expensive..

Re: Just ordered a new laptop
Update - it STILL has not shipped
My estimated arrival date has been moved up from the 23rd to the 20th, yet no tracking information is available.
I have to say, Dell needs to step up! I ordered on 8-5 and it has taken this long to build? Hire more people or send me the parts and I will build it myself! I really hate waiting this long for stuff.
If I go to McDonald's and they say it will take 3 hours for my Big Mac, I would leave. Sux Dell had the awesome 12 month no interest financing or I would have canceled already and bought elsewhere.

Re: Just ordered a new laptop
Well I got it yesterday. It is fast too.
I hate the case - fingerprints right when you touch it, attracts dust like it has a vacuum built in it lol
I want to run some speed tests on it but was curious which would be the most beneficial to use. I also was curious if I should set the low cpu point to 100% for the 5% it is set at now to run the tests.
