maybe they only have 3 units in stock? Nevertheless, i hope people start getting their orders soon, so we can see some benchmarks, and people who didn't preorder can start to think about getting one.
I'm sure it's because D/FW is a larger market than Austin and the Plano/Frisco area is one of the hottest retail areas in the nation. Maybe there's a bit of a Dell backlash working against Austin too (although yes I do know that there is an Apple call center there as well).
