*HP dv6t & dv7t Select Edition / Quad Edition (6XXX series) Owners Lounge*

I would like to see too, but if i decide finally if i can handle weight of 17 and choose dv7 over asus n43 which i've been waiting for since january - i will have it by the end of week. But for now i can't decide ...

If only someone could tell me how warm or loud can old dv7 with i5 or i7 get. And how big fingerprint magnet this umber finish is...

 

on the hp website, there is a demo video of the dv6tqe that has a very good look at what the umber color is like rather than just pictures.

 

I just received notification that my dv6tqe is shipping out. I placed my order on the 13th of March.

 

ordered dv6t on march 14th. just got shipment confirmation exactly as estimated!

 

The HP site shows a black laptop...very misleading, if you look at the pics, they are much more brown and glossy then the HP demo and pics. :/

 

I ordered my DV6 on March 13, it was estimated to ship on the 25th but it still has not. Now that others are shipping I am going to call HP when I get home.

 

Oh men it looks like all the dv6 are shipping but none dv7 I order my dv7 on the 13 and still nothing no email no nothing you guys are lucky.

 

Same here man, I ordered a dv7 on the 13th. No emails or tracking numbers yet. Cross our fingers for today or tommorrow.

 

Quad or select edition if you dont mind me asking?

 

Yeah I think if I dont get nothing today I will call HP see what's going on hey if you get anything let me know plz.

 

My DV6T quad also shipped today. Ordered on March 14th. After over a week or trying to cancel the order on the phone with them (I ordered a DV7T Quad instead) they still shipped it. Unreal.

However, they say the return process is relatively painless. Except for the part where I have an extra $850 sitting on my CC until they process my return. Ugh!

Ordered mine on St. Patty's Day, estimated to ship this thursday.

Looking forward to all the early adopters' reviews, pics, etc !

 

Ordered DV 6 on March 13th, still no shipping information

Going to call and cancel

 

Hello guys .I am thinking of buying this laptop HP Pavilion dv6-6070ee Entertainment Notebook PC (LL059EA) specifications - HP Home and Home Office products
but I am not sure if this is actually the the latest version (the one which was launched on the 13 of march, with better cooling and trackpad)
Please advice
thx all

 

Mine was expected to ship today and according to HP's website, it has. However, I do not believe that fedex has actually picked up the shipment yet. I hope it makes it to Minnesota before the end of the week. I can't remember how long it took with the other two HP's I purchased in the past.

 

Just for grins I took a look back at my old HP TX2500Z order from 2008.

I received shipping notification (standard 5-7 day FedEx shipping) on 9-23-2008. I had the laptop in-hand on 9-26-2008. I believe that was even from Shanghai.

So there is a pretty good chance that if it shipped/was picked up today you might receive it this week still!

Does anyone know if this series of laptops supports switchable graphics? I know that Lenovo's Y-series laptops (comparable to the dv6 dv7 series) announced, albeit quietly, that due to a design flaw they will not support switchable graphics. Is this the same for HP?

 

From what I have read it supports switchable graphics but its a manual operation using the catalyst control panel, not automatic switching like optimus. This could be better or worse depending on how you look at it. lol.

 

I just received the same email stating that the exchange period is extended to May 15.

 

Anyone else thinking about putting an SSD in the dv7?

Intel just announced their new line of SSD (320 series)
Intel rolls out third-generation SSD 320 Series drives -- Engadget

Newegg is suppose to deliver my 80gb X-25M tomorrow. Hmmm not sure if I should return or not.

 

Just call HP about my dv7 and they say that I have to wait up to 42 hours to get my trucking number,so that today I might get a email with my shipping cuz they say is not delay I dont know who to believe at this point.

 

Based on the graphics card it is the new one, the amd 6770 is only available on the newest.

 

Thanks alot mate

 

Just got my updated email (for May 15th) also...

Hells yeah!

I get to keep my DV6 for another 7 weeks while everyone else does the beta testing... Then swoop in with my $500 off coupon and clean up!
I would LOVE for the Envy 17 to get refreshed by then!

 

My DV6T's tracking # just got updated. Estimated to arrive VIA FedEx on April 1. April fools? ;/

-Rip

 

yay I got an email from hp earlier today confirming that my dv6t has been shipped a day earlier than the estimated ship date. I ordered on the 15th btw. ETA on 4/1!

 

is HP?

$909.99 HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition customizable Notebook PC Order in production
(Estimated to ship on March 25, 2011) Tracking provided upon shipment

 

C'mon Hp. Dv7's are computers too!!!
Let's get em out.

 

DId you hear about Dell's new deal.... I dont know what to do???? should I cancel my my order. An i7 with 3D 1080p xps17 for $914. This is a good deal!!!! Darn!!!!! why did they have to do this!!! Decisions.... Decisions!!!!

 

HP just emailed me an apology (I guess for being late?.. est march 25 ship date) and gave me a 15% off my next purchase coupon valid for the next month. What good does that do me...

 

If it brings you any comfort, the 550M should be slower (maybe even significantly) than the 6770M. It's based on DDR3, whereas the 6770M is DDR5.

If you bump up to the 555M you may be getting closer - but the XPS 17 sample that is shown on notebookcheck also has a 555M with, you guessed it, DDR3.

-Rip

 

What deal is that?

Edit: I just configured one with close to the same specs as my DV7, came out like $300 more with a ship date of 5/9...lol

 

Me too.. I'm like... holy cr**, I've gotten absolutely no update on how much more delayed it is and I would honestly much rather they just upgrade my computer to free next business day shipping instead of giving me a stupid 15% coupon. I've been told that my computer order is not listed on a "delayed order list" and to check back in 24-48 hours since FedEx does not update their systems on the weekend, is that the general consensus on what people have been told by their CSR?

 

its on logicbuy.com

 

the xps line offers slightly better specs at a slight lower price, but those xps machines are ugly as sin

 

Yea those HP reps are useless.
First she tells me its delayed.
Then it is stuck in customs?
Then she says the general just wait for an email with tracking info, and backs off the other comments.

I know its not the reps fault, but I wish I felt like I was talking to a person instead of a robot with copy and paste answers.

 

XPS 15 has industry poorest internal design.
LOOK at its super long distance pipes, u know why they have super low starting points.

Even a super low endi laptops(in china), has much better internal designs

Well, Dell needs to hire some new engineers to rethink its products
Maybe they should hire some apple staffs, or lay off those super old non-brain engineers.............

 

Dell's product design is disaster, has been proven all those years. And well.. Sony and Lenovo engineers would be better than some fruit company's I guess.
XPS 15 and 17 have higher resolution screen but about $300 more expensive than HP at same spec.

 

XPS 14 is ok, not bad at all. (internal design)

But 14 had $100 more than 15
I was so surprise why they made these marketing till I seen their internal designs...

Obviously, dell knows xps15 is ****

 

Friday night, my fan got really loud, and sounded very mechanical, not just as if it was spinning faster. I immediately shut down the system and restarted. This fixed the problem, but it still doesn't sound as smooth as before.

The loud sound happened again once after the first time.

Right now the fan is fine, aside from an extremely quiet noise I cant describe, but I know it wasn't there before.


I usually just close my laptop to put it to sleep to stop the problem. The last time I did this however (not very long ago, maybe a few minutes), I happened to touch the left palm rest beside the mouse pad. Upon doing this, I felt a vibration that wasnt there before touching it. Could this possibly mean my hard drive is having issues?

When shutting the system down when the problem is taking place, the last thing I hear is what sounds to be the fan stopping, but it sounds more like the grinding / mechanical sound, but it sounds as if it is running out. This is making it hard for me to tell if it is the fan or the hard drive causing the problem.

 

Yes I call like at 12 and they told me the same thing I just hope it's right men this sucks all the people that order the dv6 got trucking numbers but no one for the dv7.not fair

 

You're forgetting that the 555M has a wider bus (192-bit vs. the 6770M's 128-bit) and possibly faster GPU performance. The 555M actually might be faster, even with DDR3.

 

quad edition

 

NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M - Notebookcheck.net Tech

Yes, 555M GT got somewhat between 6750M and 6850M at 3DMark Vantage, could be better than 6770M but not very far.

 

Update. My delivery date pushed back to April 5th, again.
And as I mentioned, I ordered dv6qe at March 13th.

It takes more than 4 weeks to get a laptop, is it that worthy?
My patience fading out. ugh... I think I should get a rewards like backpack for late delivery. This is ridicules.

 

Also got delivery estimated for 4/5. Ordered on 3/14 with estimated shipment today. I think they probably have a mass shipment leaving Shanghai today so all those people who ordered on 3/13 and had shipment for 25th march seem to be lumped with the later orders

 

I ordered mine on the 21st with an "estimated" ship date of 4/4.... when do you think it will really ship?

 

Does any1 know how dv6's speakers will handle w/o subwoofer ? Will it be like asus n43 -> loud and crisp but no bass ?

 

I just tried to match mine. (which would have been $952 at 30% off, but I actually paid $810)
I came up with $965, and the Dell only has one battery (the big one). It's also missing the blu-ray player, just has a CD/DVD burner.

 

Sorry I think you're in the wrong forum, as none of us have gotten our dv6t or dv7t. This forum is for the new one ordered after March 13th
