Sorry, but I can't comment on the comparison (@work). But on a siiide note . . .

I ordered the 1420 and my ship date was pushed back to 8/13 (ordered 4 days ago) due to the higher res screen.

How far was yours pushed back? Just curious
 
Mine ships on August 3rd, but there was no indication when I ordered it about delays. Although, the lower res screens (1440x900) had a note under them that said they may be delayed.

Yeah I saw that and didn't check the max delay before I oredered. Apparently the max delay for the higher res LCD is 12 days. :confused:
 
According to Dell, my laptop shipped today! :D

I should have it by Monday with next day shipping.


Is anyone able to answer my question?
 
Lappy has a far superior CPU, but the video card is lacking (8600GTs are boo hiss)

YOU SUCK!!! lol j/k

BTW when did you place the order?

Mine was placed and "In Production" on 7/16/2007, but due to the special LCD my est. ship is 8/13/2007.

I ordered it on 7/17/07 at around 6:00pm. Two days to build it is not bad. :D

That's good. I probably won't game on it too much, but if I do, what games do you think would run on it? How might C&C 3 run?

OK, I am not taking it back this time . . YOU SUCK! :D

Just checked Dell's site and they no longer have a delay for the 1440x900 LCD but they do for the glossy 1280x800. Hopefully that means no delay for me ! ! !

BTW ~ What color did you get? I went with the spring green with the Belkin Messenger bag to match.

** FINGERS CROSSED ** :cool:
 
I got black because I will be using this laptop for work and school, and I didn't want something too flashy for work. :)

I might have gotten green or blue if they were darker colors.
