I ordered my ZV6000 on April 14th and haven't received my order, nor has my CC been charged. Can other who purchased from costco provide same info?
Has your card been charged?
Have you received the package?

Hey guys...I ordered mine on the 17th of April, and it's showing the same thing, "in process"[
!]. It did say it will take 4-6 weeks, so it was just wishful thinking we'll actually get it within 3-4 weeks. Take that 4-6 weeks to heart, because that's how long it will take. Look at the bright side. Those lucky enough to have ordered from Costco will have about 5 months to play with it and return it with no obligation (6 months from the date of purchase). I've seen posts that say games like Doom 3, and Half-Life 2 are practically unplayable in the ZV6000 despite the dedicated 128mb graphics card. And also the dead pixel issues, which makes the Costco deal that much sweeter. Look at it this way...if something better comes along in 5 months all we have to do is make a bee line to our local Costco, get our money back and smile all the way to a better laptop!!![

they've questioned me before for returning too many PCs. [
]unofrtunately they were all bad or else i would have kept them.

It's nice that you have that many Costcos nearby. But I don't think you have to go out of your way just to return anything under their own policy. If a Costco CSR is giving you a hard time that's because he's a dickhead. Just ask to speak to another CSR or his supervisor. I've even heard of people returning (and exchanging) all-in-one printers just because it ran out of ink!!! Of course that's just hear-say[

I just got off the phone with the Costco.com CSR and according to her it will probably take all of 6 weeks to deliver
Perfecting ending to a crappy day. I ordered on the last day of the promo so thats another 3 weeks for me. -

Bluedevils, your point is well taken. Circuit City and Bestbuy (still my favorites for my high-tech hunger) in recent years reduced their return timeframe from 30 to 14 days for computers, camcorders, etc. to combat the abuse you speak of. But can anyone here honestly say that he will keep his ZV6000 if 5 months from now HP in all its wisdom decide to replace the highly neutered ATI 128mb graphics card with a much better one?
That 8 cell battery may not be all that significant because this machine is essentially a desktop replacement. I have a ZV5220US that I bought last August. I tried to tote this humonguous thing around the first few weeks I had it including using it as a DVD player in my car. I learned the hard way that this thing is not all that portable, so battery life is really a moot point. I did, however, buy an extra 12 cell for the ZV5220 (for only $100) which I hope will work with the ZV6000. If anyone know otherwise please let me know.
Have patience my young Padawans (or not so young)[]. Even if we end up waiting the whole 6 weeks, we're getting a better deal overall (including the much talked-about return policy). We get Windows XP Pro which I understand if more secure and more stable than the Home version, and a high-speed 80GB HD (5400 rpm) which should help shave the 90 second boot time I get now with my ZV5220's 60GB 4200 rpm hard drive (yes, I've already disabled all non-essential programs from loading). And I'm still holding out hope that Boom is incorrect about the DL capability of this machine. I know I've said that I'll probably never use it, but it's nice to know that I can[^].
