I ordered within 2hrs of the announcement email and using a standard US English keyboard, with GPU and the 7940HS. So there has to be other reasons for delays.

In all likelihood, shipping countries and the total number of orders from that country in a specific batch will affect processing as well. Deducing from the update emails, it appears the laptops are assembled in Taiwan and then get sent bunched together to warehouses in different parts of the world, and then shipped from there to the customer. If a particular region doesn’t 'have enough orders in one batch, it makes sense that FW might wait until the next batch starts processing and there are enough orders for that particular region to fill whatever package/pallet size they are using.

I’ll make a note and do all this for you with a caliper if/when I receive my 16, and someone else hasn’t already done it.

I guess there weren’t enough ordered in Texas, then.

I’m wondering if anyone in Canada has received orders? I haven’t seen any posts.

I don’t have a caliper with me (just using a ruler, which is less precise) but the main laptop body appears to be 13 mm and the rubber foot is an additional 3 mm. So 16 mm.

Yeah, and when I spent that amount of money I’ll probably be instantly sad.
People are such emotional bags of water… Tsk…
