Slower Than Dell
I ordered a Vostro from their small business dept. on the 1st. 8 days later
it was still in production. My credit card hadn't been charged for the product. I read one of the posts in the forum that there was a shortage of LCD displays (posted by a dell rep.). I went ahead and cancelled it. I may try again later this month. Anyone else seeing a lag? I was kind of looking at the Asus C90 as well. Comes with a 512 meg version of the Nvidia 8600GT Card. Although the fans stick out of the back of it like duel exhaust pipes. The processor is a desktop core 2 instead. So the batter life may not be as well. |

You'll have to go through the waiting period again. The Vostro and Asus that you are talking about are completely different laptops for different needs. Do you want to use a laptop as a gaming machine or for video editing -- what do you plan on using it for? If the processor is a desktop core 2, there is no may about it. Battery life will not be as well. I just Googled it and people have noted low battery life and heat but it has generally good reviews as one of the first "upgradeable laptops". The C90 is said in many reviews to be a "gaming notebook" while the Vostro as I understand it is a business productivity laptop. It seems that they are geared towards different users. |

I can only say every time we order any computer from Dell, most recently
D420 and D630, it takes more than a week. "Greg" wrote in message . net... I ordered a Vostro from their small business dept. on the 1st. 8 days later it was still in production.

I might re-order in hopes that I may get a better price. Or they may
introduce the nvidia 8600GT with 512 meg or ram instead of the 256 meg that they currently offer. I plan on using the notebook for AutoCAD, basic web surfing and some video/photo editing. I've also read about the upgradable features of the Asus. Interesting. "Journey" wrote in message ...

I've ordered from them before too. And they are usually pretty quick. It
would be nice to have some info fed to the consumer as to why the order is slow. I didn't order any option that stated that it would delay the order.

It sounds like some of the features would benefit from the higher-end specs you mention. You might want something more powerful than the Vostro line for video editing and AutoCAD. |

I ordered a new DELL Inspiron 531 desktop without monitor on the 2nd July
and it still hasn't arrived. Delayed three times and latest delivery date is 13th August. I do not have any confidence that it will have be delivered then either. They've taken the money for it from my credit card though when it went into 'Production'. "Greg" wrote in message . net...
