Well, if it's any consolation, a 17.3" laptop is only portable in the loosest sense.

Yeah thats kinda true... but i have a 17.3 laptop already and a carry case for it... i have been known to take it with me on trips to the parents or work journeys ( 2 day training days/briefing meetings and the like)
I even used to cart it about the house occationally...
Anyway, hopefully thats everything set now, so just a case of sitting and waiting for it to arrive....
I know when it turns up i will forget all my worries and fall in love with its sheer power, the HD screen has nothing but good reviews too and hopefully the sound with the T40's will make it a real treat for movies/games/music in every respect

IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My laptop is awaiting dispatch!!!!
It went into testing this morning/lunchtime and its flown through testing and quality control in just a few hours! just received an email saying awaiting dispatch...
I've sent them a message just to make sure its actually there and i've not been sent the wrong email (had one each time it changes stage but not had one for testing>quality control step) and if its all good i've offered to pay the extra and get it delivered tomorrow rather than wait till monday!
......Somebody find me some valium before i start bouncing off the walls!!!

You will probably get a quicker response by phoning PCS
And if you want it changed to Saturday delivery I think you need to do that before it is actually dispatched, and I suspect it's not far off being dispatched if it is due to be sent out today (though it may be too late for that already, I do not know)

...Oh...
Well, i might get lucky...it says dispatched same day if it reaches this status before 3pm... which it only just about did... i might be able to just catch it, if not....i'll have to learn to be patient!

If you're unhappy with the sound, try DFX.

It is so good, I have no need for sound cards when this works as well as it does.
