NEW.. Any and all concerns about the new XPS 435/8000/9000

Hi there ~

My one and only concern is static in the headphone jack on top of the machine.  It's not a *dire* concern, because I do have alternatives available, but I was wondering if anyone had found a fix for it.

Thanks for starting a new thread, Jon.  Good to "see" you again.  :emotion-5:

Hi Pogostick,

I think I speak for most of us waiting for the Studio XPS 9000 in seeing El Paso Texas as the first entry point from Fedex. We all assume that the Studio 9000s are assembled in Mexico. Tracking has shown mine from El Paso to Fort Worth, curious what the next depot will be before my scheduled delivery this Friday in far eastern North Carolina. The North Carolina plant is in the process of closing down, but I never knew what products were assembled there. Looking at the websites for the big box stores they are all listing the Studio XPS 8000 machines. I would guess that Dell has concentrated on supplying the Costcos and Best Buys and Wam-Marts and that surely cut into the supply of i-7 chips for our machines.

Thanks for starting the new thread.

My Studio XPS 8000 is currently in In Production Limbo with an estimated delivery date of 10/26 11/2 11/9 :emotion-9:

I can't wait to get it - it sounds like you guys really like your new computers.

jjon90- I thank you as well-  Dont see why the other thread was locked, everyone was res[ectful and happy to get all information on the 9000 et al.

oh to make it official-  I am expected to get delivery on Oct 30th of my xps9000- does anyone know if it will be preloaded with 7 or vista?

Thanks

Hey everyone, how about some photos of your brand new 9000?  Let's see how you fit that monster in the house. Yes, that's my biggest concern - no photos to admire. PS: ordered 9000 on 10/19 - expected 'on/before' 11/16

Here is the BEAST!

I won't repost everything, my system specs are in my profile. I ordered an XPS 9000 on 10/23/09.  Original expected delivery date was 11/11/09 (Salutes to the Vets).  This was pushed back to 11/19/09, but after a quick e-mail to Dell Customer Service I was upgraded to Next Business Day delivery for free.  Current expected delivery date is 11/16/09...not too bad I must say. *Update* - Over lunch I received a call from Dell Customer Service informing me the Expediting Team has confirmed no shortage of the parts for my machine (YMMV) and that I will soon receive an e-mail with a little more info on delivery schedule.  My computer is somewhere (is it wrong to assume it's not Austin?) being put together, so this is good news.  I'll keep everyone up to date on my experience. - Pogostick

I also ordered a new XPS 9000 system, though it was on 10/20/09.  My EST arrival date is 11/16.  Seems like an awfully long time!  Could you let us know who you e-mailed and what you said?  I send an e-mail yesterday afternoon using the on-line form asking about any delays, but still haven't heard anything back.

Fits a little tight

Now that's what I'm talking about.  Keep the photos coming - Thanks everyone!

Can you overclock the XPS 9000 ?
