    I really wanted a better resolution from the dv6t, but there was no option. This video card is better than the 4530. Do you think I can cancel it before I receive it?? I don't want to wait until i receive this one to return it because I need the laptop by august 29th. My classes start September 1st. Any advice? You think I can cancel by talking to customer service?



    Edit: The HDX looks sexier too :)

    Sent in my request to cancel. Since it is in production, they may not be able to cancel, but there is a possibility they can. I'm thinking about ordering the HDX now and returning the dv6t when I get it. What do I have to pay to return the dv6t? Just return shipping right? I won't even open the box, just send it back to them the way they sent it to me. I would wait to get my money back, but I don't know if I'll have it in time for college.

    you dont have to pay anything to return it. they will email you a shipping label and all you have to do is print it out and drop it off at fedex.

    They can't stop it once the laptop is in production. Wait to get it. Then call to return it. They will ask you to ship it back to them with a RMA number on the box. Easy.
