how long do outlet laptops take to come?

Ordered my m17x r3 on 30th, its in production, it says it will come on or before 10th Oct, though reading other forums people have got theirs after 3 days. I just wondered what the average time was, it should already be prebuilt so shouldn't take long I guess.

Your lucky to get one with a 580m I'm trying to source one to fit when it arrives, debating whether I got a good deal or not for 1093 I got a 6970 a 2720qm 8gb RAM etc

I ordered mine the day before and it's listed for the 7th of October.

However my bank's making me nervous. There was a payment pending when I ordered as my available balance went down by £1200 I've had to sign up to a few things since then and it looks as though my bank is rejecting all online transfers for some reason.

Of course I only noticed this problem on Friday so I've had to twiddle my thumbs all weekend but I'll be straight in the bank at 9am to make damn sure they're not ****ing around with my payments.

It's rare to see a 580 in a M17x r3 and even rarer to see them listed for £1000, if it goes back on the outlet it'll probably end up on *a popular internet auction site*.

Its not that rare, ive seen quite a few on the outlet, unfortunately the rest of the specs havent been great so ive never gone for one.

well if you pick up a 580m and are putting your 6970m on the MM give me a shout, Loving the m17x but the 560m isn't quite cutting bf3 at 1080p medium settings and I hate lowering from native

Generally seems to be a week. I ordered mine last Tuesday and it's due to come tomorrow.

Bit annoying really, because all they have to do is pick it out of the warehouse - they don't have to build it. But shipping was free, so guess I can't complain.

The 580's have only came up since the m17x3's have been on the site which is about the last 3 weeks.

I wanted a 6990 or a 580, wasnt really fussed which as they are broadly similar performance wise, I initially settled for a 560 as there wasnt much in the way of the better gpu's, then we got a wee run of them and I cancelled the 560 and went for the 6990 instead. Roughly 3pm is when they update the store so its worth refreshing around this time.
