    Just got this from a US rep today: Anyone that was able to get their order placed on the 7th, note the part about cancelling and reordering.

    This is what I received from Dell about 10min ago: Dear xxxxx, This launch update has came out on 6/2/22. The recent Shanghai lockdown has led to delays to key engineering and validation activities related to the Precision Mobile 7670 / 7770 launch thus impacting the Ready to Order (RTO) schedule. Earlier communicated RTO date of 7th June 2022, is being pushed out. However, We don’t have a firm new date for the RTO yet. Will however keep you posted once we have a better view on when we can announce the RTO date. Alternatively you can take advantage of the available model we have for the XPS 17 https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/computer-deals-electronics-on-sale/xps-17-laptop/spd/xps-17-9720-laptop Warm Regards

    When you drill down into the ones that don't show as out of stock, all cpu configs that they present are marked as out of stock :( I'll ask the rep about them when I talk to him today.

    I still don't see the 7770 on the page to purchase.

    Just checked again and I'm still seeing them as being out of stock.
  6. kors
    Yeah, I am. OK they must have remedied the issue.

    Went to see if the 7760s got any increase in discount and strangely *all* configurations are showing as "temporarily of stock"
  8. kors
    Yeah I tried to see if the rep would still give me the discounted price of $2799 but no joy- probably will try a different rep next time. Yeah I'm hoping we see the 7770 drop tonight. I don't see anything as of yet.

    Yesterday I emailed the rep I spoke with before and he confirmed the 7th. The XPS $2799 sale is gone from the website, so guess I'm gonna be waiting for the 7th with you.
  10. kors
    Oh wow! The rep that I spoke to must not have known that. Do you have a good rep that you've worked with that I can contact?

    Update: I talked to a sales rep at Dell yesterday and still no ETA for the 7770. Current discount that I could get on a 7760 was %30- down 5% from the 35% they were offering online when I created the thread. Looking at their site today, I see you can get a loaded XPS 17 with a 12th gen i9 for $2799 on their summer sale, so I'm tempted to try one of those instead.

    Yeah, I remember it's been a couple models since they did away with it. I figure I'll just have to get a small wireless mouse to carry around. That sounds crazy how they do the pricing. I got the name of one of their sales engineers from a colleague, so I figure I'll take your advice and just call him and see what kind of deals I can get.

    Thanks so much Aaron for the amazingly comprehensive response! I didn't realize that was how things worked on Dell's site. I come from using mostly ThinkPads and zbooks, so this will be my first dell. Given all the info you presented, I will definitely hold tight until the 7770 drops. Thats awesome you're still rocking the 6700- I've always loved that chassis, especially in Covet trim. I'm running an old W520 and z620 desktop so im about due for a refresh as well. With the performance gains you mention, I think I can live without the track pad buttons although I will miss the track point🙂 So glad i came across this new forum. Now that notebook review is closed, I'll be sure and keep an eye out over here. Cheers!

    Hi all, Browsing dell.com I see that they're offering 35% discounts on the 7760 right now. I was thinking of waiting on a 7770, but when I put together a 7760 configuration, the discount saved me almost $2000. I've never purchased a machine from Dell when it just dropped, so not sure what kind of discounts to expect, but I'm guessing it won't be much. Points that I'm mulling over that argue in favor of the 7760 are the discount (obviously), the fact that it has real buttons for the track pad, possible performance issues with the mixed P/E cores on the new chips. Chime in and let me know if you think it's still worth waiting for the 7770 and why. Thanks!
