    On a side note, has anyone used Ninite.com before to install stuff on a new computer? It seems really useful, but I just want to check that it works as advertised.

    it gets recommended around on some other forum I browse at when people reinstall their OS.


    never used it myself but I have a usb hdd full of everything I need to install, program wise...or will by the time I back stuff up since I always forget to delete things.

    OK guys, and I think with the exception of Afooanna and I, we are talking 99% XY, when you get delivery...I want details...like the locker room that we never get to see or hear...hehe...I will share too...getting a new laptop is more than getting that first bike when I was 4 (I have 3 bikes right now so that is a big deal). I've never had FedEx OCD over a delivery in my life and I am a 48 yo very professional female who has no problems ordering the things she needs in life...this lappy is my new toy and it represents a new chapter in my life which is very exciting....work without borders or ties or constraints...dm4t is freedom! HP needs me in their next commercial ;)

    The drivers, I believe, are in the c:\SwSetup folder too, in case you were able to backup beforehand. :)

    I'm surprised at how fast they got to our respective locations once they left Alaska. My brother's dv6 left Anchorage at 4:10 PM last night and got to Jacksonville at 7:30 AM this morning. Hopefully it will be out for delivery soon as he keeps on bugging me,

    It's in Portland! Now it just needs to get on a truck for delivery.

    Haha, I can't believe how many of us are expecting deliveries today.

    On vehicle for delivery -- oh man, I'm at work all day and my parents will only be home for a few hours... and I don't feel entirely comfortable pre-signing for it. Well, if I don't get it today, I will be home all day tomorrow.

    Are you guys overall enjoying this laptop? I am still going back and forth on this and the Asus UL30VT-A1. My primary concern with this laptop is the color, but a lot of people lately have said it doesn't look pink. Can't make up my mind.

    I haven't received mine yet, but I've seen one in person, and it is definitely not pink. You really have to consciously make yourself believe it's pink. I personally think the metal finish is worth whatever qualms one may have about some "pink" tinge :D

    Quick question -- if I do end up missing the delivery today, will it be posted in the online tracker during the daytime, or only after the FedEx truck gets back to the shipping hub (to enter the day's delivery data, I assume)?

    ^ i just your previous post too.

    Damn, I ordered mine after yours and its set for delivery... you should call HP & complain about your shipping time after the order was built.

    You should be compensated... easily (esp. if you say a some1 you know placed the order about a week after & they got it today & your :mad:) - the HP reps are great.

    ...have u tried Simplytracking.com? if its not showing up as leaving AK you'll prb receive it tmrw... unless tracking is delayed
    [if fedex says today & you don't see it as Out for Delivery today something's prly wrong with the tracking info.]

    Some HP reps are great. I called yesterday about getting credit for the bigger hard drive and ram dealio and didn't get anything. It truly depends who you talk to.
    If its not in today then I better be compensated for both. I don't like raising "cain", but it may be necessary at this point.
    Your shipment and credit worked out rediculously awesome. And yes, the tracking updates that i posted were from simplytracking.

    One day difference makes a weeks difference. Doesn't sound right to me.

    I received it. It's definitely pink or salmon. But it doesn't bother me. I applaud Fedex for committing to their estimated arrival date.

    Installing/transferring files and apps from current notebook; so far so good. No problems with touchpad although I typically work with wireless mouse. I do like the corner (vertical and horizontal) touch scroll available in older pads better than the two finger touch scroll. Would describe color most accurately as metallic sand/champagne silver (similar to metallic finish option in some Mercedes or Bimmers). Webcam worked great on skype; speakers sound good, but not quite as powerful as my current notebook. Beautifully made. very happy and no complaints.

    So i ended up getting 50 bucks. Not bad, not as much as I had hoped for, but I'll take what I can get. Still don't know why my package is in Alaska, but oh well for now.

    Does your FedEx online tracker say "Int'l Shipment Release" anywhere? If not, your package could be going through a customs delay.
