Dell Inspiron Mini 9Right, so we know that some lucky beggars have already got their mitts on Dell’s dinky wonder, but if you’ve not ordered one already you could be waiting sometime for one if recent reports are to be believed.

According to a piece in DigiTimes, Compal – which makes laptops for Dell, is suffering from a shortage of (deep breath) ‘in-mold roller (IMR) treated chassis’. The result? Dell may have to reduce its target of shipping 1 million units to 700,000.

Here’s hoping that something can be done about chassis crisis before it affects shipments this side of the ocean.

    Just cancelled my order 10 minutes ago. Ordered first thing in the morning when they were released Sept 4th , i do mean first thing, approx 6am, They said it was to be shipped out today after over a month “in production”, called them and surprise its now until the 14th of november. They said a backorder part, but never gave any info on the part or attempted to save the order, just said, cancel? ok its done, almost like they are hearing the same tune over and over with this laptop. When i asked if they even had the part to begin with, i just got silence and transferred to another phone line.
