Same here. Just got charged. Shipping will be tomorrow I assume since on Thursday they should be closing down due to holidays. My location is DE and the config is DIY 7940HS, no dGPU, US English (non-rgb), Numpad. As for RAM and Storage, I bought that separately, but its 32gb 5600 Crucial kit, a 2tb 970 evo plus and a sabrent 1tb 2230.
Still no charge for me. I have the worst luck when it comes to stuff like this. I was hoping mine would ship out decently quickly since I ordered all pretty standard and in-stock stuff
7840HS
No GPU
US English non rgb
2 black spacers
US/CA Power adapter
Black Bezel
No word since the batch 1 prep’ email a few days ago. 7940/7700s DIY with no memory/ssds/frills. I fully acknowledge my own petulance here, but after waiting since July, now seeing everyone else get theirs, and maybe missing the cut off for this holiday shipping hold, feelsbaaaaaadman.jpeg.
Fingers crossed some of us might get some good news overnight.
With the (second) holiday break hours away and no pending charges or shipments to show for it, I am going to assume the worst and take a week long break from this site to go cry in a corner. Good luck everyone.
Your post initially made me disappointed realizing I was unlikely to receive a laptop. Then I was inspired to check my credit card and lo and behold, progress!
Got my shipping notification and charge last night.
DIY, 7940HS, GPU, RGB English keyboard
Originally had the ANSI keyboard, but changed the order a week or two ago when reviews came in and realized I wanted a little bit of teenage silliness for what I am paying. The 10 year old Alienware 17 that this is going to retire has one and it’s always fun.
Still trying to decide what distro I want to go with, and if I’m going to bother with Windows at all. Seriously stoked that this is finally happening!
Condolences to those who haven’t heard anything. I figured that if I didn’t hear by today, I was going to have to purge my browser tabs so I’d stop checking on it.
