Due to the global silicon supply shortage, we are experiencing significant lead times for the delivery of new IT equipment from Dell.
We have been working with Dell on this issue, as it is predicted that the problem will last for the next 6 months.
The Dell Premier Pages will be kept up-to-date with the latest information on delivery lead times but as of September 2021 the following information is correct:

Dell has offered us stocked build laptops that are available for delivery on an 8 working day lead time.
The availability and specification of these stocked builds can vary based on when the request is raised. The technical specifications, of the stocked builds, cannot be changed at the time of order. If there is an urgent requirement, the Dell account manager can advise on options available.
