    Hey guys. I purchased the dv9700t a couple weeks ago and it finally shipped on Wednesday. I'm amazed at the speed of their shipping. It left Shanghai, China on Wednesday and as of right now it's already in Scottsdale, Arizona and OUT FOR DELIVERY!!!!!!!!!!!! That's crazy!

    Yes. It's very impressive to experience first-hand the power of the global economy.

    Yeah, HP has always been good when I've ordered laptops from them. From all my experiences and people I've talked to, 90% of the time you'll get your laptop before the ship date and the shipping itself is always extremely fast.

    It has been hit and miss for me. My first dv9500t took 2 weeks from the day I ordered it to delivery, the second one was 11 days. I think the second one was delivered faster because of the holidays but who knows.

    Enjoy your toy! :D

    Yes, Me too.
    I received my notebook on the day it was estimated to be shipped or 3 days after I placed my order.
    Anyone remember the Wormhole Add. I'm not sure if it was for UPS or FEDX. But that came to mind.
    What do they do put these things on Rockets? I guess they must pre-load these things and burn them in, if they burn them in.

    Well, I ended up getting it about 1 hour after my post. It looks great and running perfect so far! I ordered it on 12/27, so it took 15 days.

    dv9700t
    -Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo Processor T7500 (2.20 GHz, 4 MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
    -17.0" WXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1440 x 900)
    -3GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    -512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS
    -Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Network Connection and Bluetooth(TM)
    -240GB 7200RPM SATA Dual Hard Drive (120GB x 2)
    ...etc


    This is replacing my old desktop (1.7ghz, single core, 60g HD)

    LOL....I think I'll see a big difference!

    Why are you praising HP for shipping? The shipping part is handled by the shipping company (FedEx I think). Praise FedEx.
