For anyone trying to figure out the order time / delivery date connection, I ordered at 2PM EST, my credit card freaked out and rejected the charge, so Dell sent an email saying they'd try again in 4 hours. I let the credit card know there was no fraud involved, and the order confirmed around 630pm EST that same night.
Oh well, fingers crossed.
mine is shipped, but nothing on CB website still.
And I am also getting "account unavailable" on the Cashback site. Not good news.
I saw in the R15 thread (with the ryzen 9 and 4090) that it would supposedly cost $2,900 to make that machine which people are picking up for $2519 before cashback. Pretty much anyone responding in that thread has said *our deal* in this thread is way better at $2160 before cashback.

This deal was 100% a price mistake, the other one was not. Does not mean the other deal is not worthy of consideration, but it's no price mistake...

Does not include Windows license
Not a apples to apples comparison as Dell uses proprietary MB and PSU

I can't imagine being able to score a near top of the line pc like this again for what amounts to $2k out of pocket.
