Dell XPS M1330 and ship date
As I wrote in my first post, I’ve ordered a Dell XPS M1330 about a week ago (June, 29th). This is the configuration I chose:
- Intel Core 2 Duo T7300(2 Ghz, 4MB cache L2, FSB 800 Mhz)
- Windows Vista Business
- 3 years warranty NBD
- 13,3″LED display with webcam (on the Italian site you can’t choose the display without webcam)
- 2 GB RAM DDR2 667Mhz (2×1GB)
- hard-disk SATA 160GB 5400rpm
- nVidia® GeForce™ Go 8400M GS with 128 MB GDDR3 memory
- 9 cell battery 85Wh
- Bluetooth
- mini Intel® Pro/Wireless 3945 802.11a/b/g
- nylon thin case, 56k external usb modem
Final price, thanks to an interesting discount by the sale manager, is about 1.500€ (2.050$) without 20% of IVA, corresponding to VAT in Italy.
My notebook is in pre-production from 06/30/2007, estimated ship time 07/20/2007. As you can read in this forum thread (36 pages now!), most of the estimated ship times are in august or september: two months is a long time to wait

wow !
people are buying NOW with ETA in two months ? That’s foolish since in two months from now prices / equipment for a model will certainly change significantly …
no, buying like that it’s not for me …

I agree with you: if you know before the order that ETA is 2 months, it’s better to wait and place the order in late august or september.
I’m still hoping that my M1330 will be shipped before 07/20
