You're gonna love it, especially compared to that p4 you have now ;-) I bought a p4 the first week they came out, it was so sweet lol

 

I dindt knew a thing about computers when my parents bought it lol, its been a while know (like 10 years ) now i feel like a pro lol,

 

Nice, I ordered one from them at the beginning of them month. (Specs in signature) I'm still waiting but can't wait to get it.

 

Wow urs is a beast, dont u think the 2920x is TO MUCH?
so i takes a whole month ? :s

I cant wait a month, im going on a trip at the end on july, ~25 D: !

 

As for the 2920, I plan on keeping this laptop for a few years. I usually get a new one every year but once I get this I don't plan on doing that.

I'm not sure how long it takes. They do have them in stock so you could get yours right away. They had planned on using one of the in stock ones for my order but then discovered that I had ordered the wireless HD in mine so they had no choice but to order it from dell. You should contact HID and ask if they are ordering yours or if they are going to use one of the ones in stock.

 

I ordered from them on the 12th, they said that tomorrow they'll receive it, then, in about 2 weeks I'll have it

Thanks for the advice

 

Nice, i plan on upgrade the hdd myself, momentus xt is a good option, or an ssd, i will wait and see if they fix the sata 3 problem or not, if they do ill go for a vertex 3 if not a vertex 2

 

Crazy m14x with 2920 , not sure if they will add extra heatsink pipe into m14x?

 

I have the 500gig momentus XT in my m11x and it was worth every penny. It feels almost as fast as the SSD in my Asus SSD loading common things in windows. When you load levels in games it does go faster as well, but this is where you see it reading off the platters more obviously but this is where you notice some of it's limitations. My CS5 photoshop loads in (I just timed it) 3-4 seconds.

 

Got my usps tracking number now! they probably got the notebook yesterday, I hope they changed the hdd as we agreed.

 

I just received mine from HIDevolution too, no problem atm, they are a little quiet so if you don't go to their livechat they will never notify you but they did a good job with my PC so I'm happy, for the mamba make sure it's the new version.

 

Dude, did you get your mamba from hidevolution?, i saw your (idk how its called) where u have your specs and i was like D: i got the old one, i contacted hievolution and ask them if they could change the mamba for the new one, they said they would try to change it by contacting razer!

So you got it from hidevolution or not?

 

I asked them via email and the chat, and told me they ordered from dell

 

How much did it take you to get it, sice the day u order it?

 

Something like a month but they had issues with the SSD so the shipping was delayed.

 

Be prepared for the terrible Intel 6205 card "upgrade". If you plan on doing much online gaming that includes FPS's, you are in for serious frustration. I recently upgraded mine to the Bigfoot 1102.

 

Thanks fot the advice

 

What is wrong with the intel card? I heard it was a great improvement over the standard 1000 card.

 

I have the 6250 and it works perfectly.

 

Weird, the notebook was sent on monday, and USPS says that's still in USA :/ last update was on the 28th
