wow another month to wait.. thats quite long by the time prolly got better spec lappy come out d lor.. or prolly better promo.. so far not many 17.3 lappy are just under 3k.. think think think

Got a reply from my SA. He said my order is affected by the delay It will be delivered in about 3-4 weeks time...Do you guys think i should cancel the order and wait for the Asus n82 instead?

Was hoping my dream 17 inch multitask notebook will arrive on time... Anyhow, I've went around lowyat with some of the nice specs within my budget and I think I'll be getting the Lenovo Y460 since it has power specs and I usually hook up my laptop to the 22 inch LCD so the 14 inch Y460 is still ok(just no numpad....).

If the N82Jv is in within your budget and you want a moderately high gaming machine. I would say, by all means, cancel it hahaha

Its smaller, lighter and has better specs but at the expense of extra cash la
The only prob I think you will have is that the N82Jv would be very popular and maybe need to order or wait oo
If its me, I would opt for the N82J

My parents dont mind paying the extra money to get a better spec'd laptop so that it will last me for a long time However, im just curious how the refund mechanism works? Anyone have a clue?

Not sure on the refunding mechanism though...
But don't worry about ASUS and DELL quality, both are very good and reliable ^____^

My dad's having doubts about asus cuz he havent heard about the brand b4 Ill try to convince him. Haha

My status is also the same since day 1. It is still "Order Received" Damn... I don't hope to wait that long but if they give us free stuff as a compensation for waiting over a month XD I would love that.

I wonder if can dell with SA for a bronze one while waiting for the stock.

Maybe you can convince him with a "IBM" laptop, hehe. Only lack on Y460 is the USB 3.0 and screen reso. Warranty you can upgrade, N82jv hasn't arrive yet, JBL speakers on Y460(if you do care, hehe) and you can get it now.

I dont really have confidence in the lenovo laptop If it was IBM ,then ill have no problem..anyway, how does the JBL speakers on the y460 sound?

Convince him with this reliability chart from SquareTrade ^_____^

how to cancel the deal with dell ??? any1 ???

It'll do the trick on your dad mostly. But for tech guys, you'll know the last 4 companies(except Gateway) have been selling more laptops than the top 4, hence more faulty rate .

wow factors and definitely best bang for the money..

man this is bad..already waited2weeks...damn,

So, If I order today, I prolly needed to wait for a month?

The charts shows malfunction rates which is in percentage so I don't think the the amount of laptops sold will affect the overall results. That's what I think la
Company X sells 10 laptops, 1 out of 10 is faulty = 10% faulty
Company Y sells 1,000,000 laptops, 1,00,000 out of 1,000,000 faulty = also 10% faulty
I may be wrong though

The only thing I am doubtful of the results is HP. Perhaps because of taking Compaqs into account which is why HP came last
I kind of like HP T____T

I just noticed my old Acer 4920 14.1" laptop is almost the same weight as 3700. That's really not bad.

Well, you've seen the page has already written estimate 3-4 weeks and it's still pre-order stage so if you can wait for it then it'll be OK. If not, then might as well look for other options.

worst than tat

'Estimated delivery date is extended by 15-20 days.'

3-4weeks + 15-20days.
could be worst if it's specifically 'working days' excluding weekend

worst case, close to 2months
