well maybe that was then order a laptop now and you wait 2+ months
i dont get any information at all about order sent from dell like delay
times items etc
well theres alot of people buying other brand laptops alot of xps buyers
went to buy apple laptops . also i was given no information on when i
ordered that i would have a delay and dell knew at that time that there was
problems , lack of communication and loads of lies.  by the time i found out
i started college to soon to try to order from another place.
