    I was wondering that how long does HP takes to build dv2000t(CTO) because ever since I ordered this laptop I can't wait to get this baby... :) . I have checked every where on HP website and they usually take 12 business days which is quite a bit long i think. Well I ordered mine on Nov.8th and it is still under production as of now. So I am kind a worried that I hope they don't send it around Thanksgiving weekend because then i have to wait for whole another week. So anybody ever had delayed shipment or situation like mine?

    I also wonder that it might be a processor because I ordered a laptop with Core 2 Duo. So anybody think that processor might be the cause of the delay?

    Which processor did you order?

    If it was the T7200, expect a delay.

    If it wasn't, then it should be shipping soon.

    Ah, then it should definitely be shipping soon.

    The only Core 2 Duo processor that's slowing HP orders is the T7200.

    Because it's the fastest HP offers on the consumer notebook line.

    It's caused delays in the past.

    Higher demand for the cpu & lack of supply.
