I really just want to know if the M17 usually arrives before the preliminary ship date or more often than not right when it says it will. I really don't care if it arrives early or not, although of course that would be great. It's just that I thought I read somewhere that they usually do and when I ask the sales "experts" they all seem to either not care or have no clue and just give me the "book" answer. So I went online and could not find anything about how good Alienware is about getting the product out to you early. I have been checking on the Alienware Club as well as other sites including YouTube and nothing. It was just a little frustrating that I couldn't find a single thing to help answer my question. Again I'm not asking this question because I'm impatient, I would just like to know if more often than not they do or don't. I know it all depends on if the parts are up to par and if they get there on time and if it does take them longer to build it that's fine, it just means they were that much more thorough when building it. Thanks for any help!
