QuestionWhen will it be available? I made the purchase but I dont have an estimated delivery date
Asked 4 years ago by Jebb.
- Answer I can tell you that the best buy support team will just let you know that it is backordered and that they'll reach out as soon as they have a date. With that said, looking at Dell's website, for ordering any configuration of this, it shows a delivery date of mid-late July - not sure if that will be the case with this, but it's the only date I could find.
