A:AnswerI ordered mine on June 3rd and I still haven't heard anything. It's frustrating since no one seems to knows when they will start to ship. The best buy prices are way better than those selling on dells website so I'm hoping its soon!

A:AnswerSame here.... I ordered mine on June 3rd and received notification on Monday July 5th that they are delayed and will try to get it out to me within the next few days, but nothing so far. Also they said that if they couldn't ship my order out by the 17th then they will cancel my order entirely. Not sure why they will cancel since they are still taking orders on this model Today. Weird.

A:AnswerUnfortunately is low density but not as noticeable yet online reviewers have shown it in tests that it is slower. I would recommend upgraded to XMP compatible memory from Kingston or Crucial, they will not have XMP in title but should state it in description. XMP is basically overclocking of ram to an extent and this laptop can handle it. XMP would also work best if this device came with the advertised Win11.
