I ordered my 9100 laptop on March 15th, and the estimated delivery date is 05th May! (51 days/ 7 weeks 2 days)
I rang customer support today and they mentioned some problem with batteries. I know the lifespan of the 9100 battery is quite low due to the power drain, so I hope that maybe a better battery will be installed.
I also questioned if the system price will have fallen by the time of delivery would I be compensated? The (?South African) lady on the phone did not understand what I was trying to communicate and insisted that I would not be charged extra - how considerate.
Anywho, I just hope it impresses when it does arrive - my other Dells have been solid machines.
