Anybody receive their dv6500t 8400M yet?

Has anybody gotten that nondescript brown box with the 8400M GS inside on their doorstep yet?

Hopefully when the first person gets theirs they'll be kind enough to review it and let us all know how the performance is

 

Yea, anyone got theirs yet?

 

*i guess since everyone else is doing it...*

Yeah anyone get their dv6500 yet?

 

Mine should be on my doorstep by the 18th. I think that's about the earliest anyone will get theirs by.

 

My estimated ship date is 14th...so hopefully i'll get it soon ...cant wait..been logging into hp account every few hrs hoping its shipped, but it says still "order in production"

 

haha i do the same

 

heheh i see myself doing that ...but every 30mins or so

I still have faith that they will add better res or a 8600card or at least a 8400gs(the one that has 256mb dedicated)

(but i know im just dreaming)

 

LOL I don't think anyone got it yet

 

I will get my 9500t with 8600M GS on Friday and I can test it out for you all.

 

I will also get my 6500t on Friday...can't wait!!

 

Mine shipped last night apparently. It's coming Friday as well.

 

mine is still "in production"...already checked like 10 times today

 

lol...I check once a day, no reason to check it that many times!

 

i know..but i cant help it lol

 

I understand though. I really want my notebook to arrive soon also.

When did you order your notebook, Sid1? I ordered mine on June 6 and it says it will be shipped out by June 20. That's a really long time, even compared to other companies like Dell, which actually tell you how far into production/shipping they are.

 

Did you buy the HP Recovery DVD? I decided not to buy it right now because it delayed shipping on the dv6500t by a week.

 

Yeah I did purchase a Recovery DVD, not knowing HP hard drives have a hidden partition with the recovery files until after purchasing my DV6500T.

Why would a recovery DVD cause a longer shipping process? It's such a simple DVD to create..lol

 

I didn't order the recovery dvd either. Placed my order on the 1st day it was available, wed 6th. Estimated ship date is 14th. Hopefully the hp email saying it shipped will be sitting in my inbox when i wake up tomorrow.

 

That's odd...When I ordered mine the original ship date was June 22 and even when I added the Recovery DVD option, it remained at June 22. This sucks, now I have to wait longer because of a DVD!

 

i ordered the day it was released - my expected ship date was the 20th - it shipped yesterday (9 days early!) and I will have it thursday so i guess i will have it before anyone else.

My 2500t just shipped too.

 

I thought the DV2500T and DV6500T only supported 2GB of RAM?

 

You're right knp.

By the way, I just checked the FedEx tracking page, and my dv6500t is coming today. w00t

 

Considering that the older dv6000t got a BIOS update to support 4GB of ram, it stands to reason that the new dv6500t already has this capability.

 

My dv6500t arrived! It is sleek and so good-looking. I'll post pictures in the late afternoon or this evening. I would do it sooner but today's my high school graduation!

 

congrats glickman...that was very fast! enjoy...looking forward to seeing the pics. mine is still "in production"

 

Mine was sheduled to ship on the 15th but shipped today

 

I ordered mine on 6/6 and is scheduled to ship on 6/15 but is still "in production".

I'm so anxious to get my new laptop. It would be great if it came on Friday, then I'd have all weekend to play with it

 

I ordered mine 6/6 also and it already shipped.

Congrats glickman; that must be a nice graduation day present

 

Whoo! Mine shipped today out today and the estimated date was June 20. How long does it usually take to ship to the US?

 

It'll take about 2-3 days from ship date in my experience.

I ordered the special edition on the 6th and it hasn't shipped yet. Has anyone had a special edition ship?

 

i am currently running the dv2500t with 4gb of memory - hp has told me many times that the dv2500t-6500t-9500t only supports 2gb, however this is WRONG. all 4gb shows in 64bit windows and 3gb shows in 32bit (4gb shows in the bios regardless)

no update was needed - didnt even turn on the computer for the first time before putting in the 4gb sticks

 

what are you index score's with the 4gb sticks in???? what brand did you put in there also... I am curious on price....???

 

That's good, although it's strange how HP only says the MOBO supports 2GB...Well, it's going to be a awhile before I even get new RAM for my notebook, so I'm going to stick with my 2GB at the moment.

 

For 9500t, there's a 4GB DDR2 System Memory option, so that means 9500t definitely support 4GB memory.

 

the index is: 5.2

and i used Super Talent brand - an auction from ebay, brand new sticks for $232 shipped! how could i not buy it?

UPDATE**:just bought crucial 4gb for $240 shipped - gonna resell the super talent. i figured crucial will have much better speeds and will definitely last longer so why not just resell this to a friend (a friend is paying the same price )

 

It's official, I sent back my "old" dv6000t to HP yesterday and I have to receive my new dv6500t around 24th this month (I hope...) so if by that time no one post a detailed review, I will, that is a promise.
