I ordered a Dell Inspiron 6400 on Monday 6th August. Its now Sunday 12th August. I was given a delivery date of the 17th of August.
Dell's order status page still says its in 'Pre Production'.
Giving that delivery normally takes 4 days, what is the chance that my Laptop will be delivered on the 17th?

Don't hold your breath. I ordered a Dell myself recently with a delivery date of August 3rd, as of right now they are telling me August 28th. Judging by the fact that your computer is still pre production, you may run into similiar problems. However, they could very well ship the thing tomorrow, as I am aware of no current issues with the particular model you are using. The best advice I can give you is to keep checking everyday, and if it has not shipped by Wednesday, I would recommend giving them a call. Once you start running into delays, you really need to keep on them, don't count on them being the ones to call you.
For all the people who are thinking to themselves, this doesn't sound like Dell, the only thing I can tell you is that Dell is no longer what it once was. I have bought 3 previous computers from them with no problems in getting them on time, but things have changed at Dell for some reason, there are currently numerous customers experiencing problems getting there computers in a reasonable amount of time.

I've never had any trouble getting things from dell when they say they are going to come. Pre production means they have all the parts but the computer isn't built yet. It doesn't take them long to put it together and you still have 5 days before delivery. Also they might not update the web page as often as you think they should. It could already be built.

Good. You should expect the Delivery notice by Tuesday, with the UPS tracking number.
Just BE THERE when UPS arrives, because they would want you to SIGN. You see, if you MISS, you have to wait the until the next day. They won't accept your signature on the card that they leave, so you have to BE THERE again to get delivery.
Of course, if UPS attempts to deliver on the 16th and you aren't there, that could upset the apple cart. So watch the UPS Tracking.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

You will probably recieve it on the date its just how ever many computers were ordered around that time that slows it down. I got mine in 2 days.
