    In my previous experiences with Dell, it usually takes a couple of days/ish.

    My last one came into Coventry I think?!? and was delivered the following day.

    Mine has been despatched today too.

    Thanks again OP.

    I bought this with the 2GB RAM and the Dual Core AMD Processor with the higher spec battery.

    Lasts for 4 hours (with low brightness on the screen) and works very fast with Vista and Office 2007.

    But it has NO internal mic... this was quite shocking to see after having used laptops for atleast 7 years. So went to maplins and got a very small externall mic (no wires) for it.
