Dell resumes shipments of Inspiron 9100, XPS
Dell sometimes stops production of a PC model to make improvements or fix problems. Last year, it stopped Dimension XPS production to adjust the desktop's manufacturing process. The most recent delay, which affected only the two Inspiron models, created some backlog. Manufacturing of most configurations of the notebooks generally takes 20 days, compared with Dell's five-day notebook average. As a result, delivery times for most of the machines have stretched out to about a month. Dell will work to fill the orders as quickly as possible, however, the representative said.

- Dell's service is going down hill.
- Try this on for size. I order a computer February 11th, to be delivered March 25th without any notification of any problems Dell was having. On delivery day I get the automated apology email telling me I will have to wait two more months for delivery due to unforseen circumstances ... those circumstances they have had for a long time now. "Dude! I'm not getting a Dell (on time)"
