    Yup. Actually received mine last week from an order I tried to cancel. I ordered one from MS Live CB and then they released that $400 of $1299 deal. So I canceled and opted for the latter:

    2.53GHz (P8700)
    3GB RAM
    500GB HD
    5100AGN, bluetooth
    Intel 4500HD
    Infinity Wide-screen, Finger Reader

    Too bad it's not a 2.0MP Webcam.

    aw you've missed the geforce upgrade. Intel 4500HD is such a terrible card for anything other than watching HD stuff.

    i´d like to know some details about this notebook

    What are its real dimensions? because on HP US shopping site they are not shown.

    How slim is this notebook?, Is HP LED Infinity Brightview Screen thinner than other display types offered by hp.

    Has this HP dv3t got any over-heating problem? like other brand models such as Dell Studio XPS 13.

    Do you have any pictures of it?

    I've been using it for a few days and even played the new Battlefield Heroes Beta on it. No heating issues, not even loud at all. Stays cool. I don't know if the Infinity display is thinner. I have it but I dont know the difference between what I have and the normal LED display.

    By the way, what case are people getting for this? I tried Kroo's 13.3 case but it didn't fit (i removed the battery and tried too).

    dimensions: 6 cell 12.9in(L)x8.7in(W)x1.25 in(min H)/1.38in(max H)
