I'll also add my two cents.  You are always free to buy from Dell or 
someone else who seem to have their act together on meeting original 
shipment dates.  The cost?  These other folks charge more.

I have considered a Gateway for some time now.  They seem to have a very
good (not excellent, though) product at a very low price.  I expect one
of the tradeoffs is their reputation for not meeting promised deliveries.
