ok, nvrmind
thanks anyway

my estimate date is out!!! 28SEPT T_T...i wonder y it takes so long to ship from penang since its already finish built.

Erm, its no longer from Penang, no?

I heard it's now from China

Yeah. Dell not longer have assembly plant in Penang, they moved it to China for better cost efficiency.

So every laptop by Dell are made and delivered from China, not sure about Alienware.

Alienware last i heard is assembled and tested in US...

o shit...china..but y my fren's studio15 is made in malaysia?

they only shifted earlier this yr...

anyway, it's not really a big deal... at least 80% of the components in a computer are all made in china anyway...

Din expect the shifting to China can affect the delivery time.

They sending the laptop over using ships maybe ...well, even while in MY it takes around 1-2 weeks to be delivered..so now,even more when in China then maybe need a bit more time

in fact computer parts seldom make in china, proc normaly msia, harddisk normaly sg or msia or pilipines or even thailand, the only thing made in china in my computer is only dvd-rom, keyboard/mouse, speaker those not important parts.

Intel has a 65nm fab plant churning out chipsets in China...

seriously, i dun see the problem of parts made in china... as long as they are of quality stuff and QC is good...

Agreed. I think the perception of made in China goods are lousy or not quality should be thrown away. China do produce good product and their QC is improving each and every year. Mind you that mot of the branded stuff that we using or wearing are made in China. The cost of production there is so cheap and with the gov venturing newly developed industrial area, most of the laptop makers are shifting their assembly and production plant to China.

The delivery time is expected to be delayed. Dell can't afford to just send one laptop to Malaysia, they will send it in bulk to cut the cost.

Sending a single laptop for sure will make Dell CEO one...bulk is the way to go..though your laptop is already finished assembled by them also need to wait for others before they can ship it to MY...

Well, just like you said...China produce almost all the hardware parts for almost all laptops companies..so now it depends with the QC

i already said computer components..ofcos i know alot of stuff are made in china, like i said speakers, even iphone.

china made goods are not lousy, but i still prefer buatan malaysia, can?

Looking forward to work in their logistic department Actually Dell have one of the best business management, sales and marketing department among the MNCs in the world. Starting a computer empire from the garage and without having wide retail store at the first year of business is something you must admire, for me at least CEO won't headache one, Micheal Dell have tons of talent on board, his COO can handle one.

my lappie is arriving on monday! that is 8 days after ordering....good job dell....so happy!

my est date is 28sept, i also hope 'miracle' happen like you

Hey guys,how nice is the Chainlink Black on the studio 15? What happened to Topo Black? Any difference between the two? And the U-trim is what makes the cover looks marble-like right? But it doesn't seem that way in the pic on Dell's site O.o

my est was 23rd sept...what stage are u in rite now?
