Canadian user sick and tired of HP

I've been waiting for a dv2000 with core2duo for months now. Finally, a few weeks ago HP told me c2d models will be released November 1st.
So today I go check, and every single godamn model is out with a c2d except the dv2000.
This is really really aggravating.

 

Maybe they are still updating there site. Check back later today.

 

Well taking that into mind, i called them up.
Now they claim that the dv2000 series has been discontinued and they won't be offering one with the core 2 duo.
I really wish I could speak to someone corporate side of the Canadian office who actually knows anything about their product lines.

 

really? they have tv comercials for the dv2000 all the time here.

 

Ya i see the commercials all the time here too (on US stations).
It is making no sense to me... at this point I just want a new laptop, and may have to settle for something that isn't quite what i want.
dv2000 had everything i wanted... now i'll have to go with either a bigger screen, or without the webcam from like dell.

 

how far do you live from the boarder you could always come down here and buy one straight out if you got the cash.

 

I'm not far, about 1.5 hours.
I'm worried about customs. Also, what store sells the dv2000t with a c2d that I can just buy, and not have to order?

 

you could just go down there for a weekend to get away and check out some stores to see if they have any, the get away would give you a excuse to look lol. but im not sure what stores would sell the core 2's

 

Yo Dementor,

Where do you live? I live in Vancouver

I want a DV200T as well and I'm going to plan a way to a CTO in the states and go pick it up. I'm willing to pay duties (15%) cuz it still worth it. If you're around here then maybe we could work on this together.

Bestbuy and Futureshop are selling the DV6150CA for $1700, they are crazy!!!
