"At this time, there is not a particular component that is causing a delay. I don't know if that was the case prior to today. Last week, our manufacturing group went to twenty-four hours in production to get the systems out as quickly as possible. I'll keep my eye on your order, and I will relay any further information to you."

Hopefully they'll be shipping soon.]]>Jul 30th 2007 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/Jul 30th 2007 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/Jul 30th 2007 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/Jul 30th 2007 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/]]>Jul 30th 2007 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/Jul 30th 2007 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/Jul 30th 2007 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/Jul 30th 2007 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/dells-xps-m1330-finally-ships-to-all-regions-this-week/

Of course this didn't happen with the iPhone, Apple actually knows what they are doing when it comes to brand new, cutting edge products.

I must agree with Ben of Direct2Dell:

The computer market is crazy volatile, and a processor released two or 3 months ago is [...] subsequently deeply discounted. That means our purchases are depreciating while dell is incapable of delivering them to us. Plus they are now offering a promotion[s...]

Comparing the two at that price, I found that while the Dell was the only unit to offer an HDMI out, a multi media remote and an additional 64k of dedicated video card RAM, the Sony offers several other core features the Dell is lacking:

1. the laptop at this size to offer Windows ReadyDrive (an H-HDD with 256K flash memory attached to traditional platters spinning at 5400 rpm)
2. a real docking port (Port Replicator)
3. Hybrid Graphics System - provides a choice between two hardware switchable video cards (to save power)
4. a faster chip set as standard: SR - T7500 @ 2.2 GHz (vs. T7300 @ 2.0)
5. an internal modem card
6. 1 Gb fast Ethernet card

Ouch, that's a LOT of extra stuff for less money.

Aesthetically, the SZ's carbon fiber case vs. Dell's three case color options is a pick'em to me. Credit Dell in that they wisely allow more options for WWAN connections (AT&T, Verizon and Sprint), whereas, at present, Sony only let's you connect to Sprint for EVDO rev. A. Personally, I'll be using Bluetooth to tether to Verizon's rev. A service over my existing cell phone's data plan.

Another consideration, Sony still insists on loading-up their machines with tons of crapware while Dell, mercifully, does not.

The final blow though comes with the realization that the Sony's are set to arrive in stores tomorrow, August 1! Order the Dell today and get it… when?

So, while Dell may have the edge for a multimedia user… and may later get around to adding some of the missing items… at present, I gotta go with the Sony… hands down.

I am not the only one with this waiting problem. It's my first laptop and I think I'll just wait for it. If people don't think about it too much, time will go fast and everyone will get theirs in no time.
