August 07, 2007 (Computerworld) -- A Dell Inc. executive blamed painting problems for the long delays in shipping the company's top-of-the-line XPS M1330 laptops to frustrated customers.

Alex Gruzen, a senior vice president in Dell's consumer products group, also said on the Direct2Dell blog that the company has shipped only 10% of the backlogged orders for the laptop it has touted as "the world's thinnest 13.3-inch notebook" since a June 26 launch.
