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

You're probably right. I checked HP's website and their new est. ship date is May 2. That's a 4 weeks from this monday!

 

I think this is why I am not in a hurry to order. In today's world with free 2nd day shipping from Amazon, I find it very hard to commit to an order that won't show up for a month!

 

anyone find this new HP simple pass obnoxious??
I hate how say I'm browsing this forum and have my PW saved it will keep asking me if I want to enter a password EVERY TIME I change to another page on this site. Also, every time I log out it asks if I want to enter a password...
You can't even just ignore it and continue about your business because (1) it shows up in the middle of your screen instead of in a corner and (2) because you cannot do anything within the browser until you either swipe in or X outta the window...

 

I think someone else complained about that in this thread. I'm not sure if there's a good solution or not yet.

What browser are you using?

 

Hmm.. I have read a few posts about this. I hope there is some way to disable this, as it sounds its going to annoy the heck out of me.

 

Is it possible to just use it for logging into windoze and disabling it for browsers?

 

I use Credential Manager for HP on my work laptop and it is pretty good. Try that

Yes, i found it very annoying that's why I ended using the older version by digitalpersona, which unfortunately, I don't know it if works with your model's biometric device.

Anyway, I think disabling their addons to each respective browser would disable their website credential capabilities.

 

Well I finally drove home and picked up my dv7, will be posting pics and review after I play with it for a few hours.

 

Just to confirm what we already know:

Me: "Do you know if any dv7t quad editions have been shipped out this week? And/or if they have resumed production? Or received a shipment of parts that were needed?"
Agent (Marge A.): "To those orders made earlier, they have been delivered."
Agent (Marge A.): "The peak on this model started before mid-march."
Me: "So any orders placed in April will not be fulfilled by the quoted dates?"
Agent (Marge A.): "Yes."
Me: "Has production stopped entirely then as HP waits for the necessary parts to come in? On that specific model."
Agent (Marge A.): "No."
Agent (Marge A.): "There are an expected particular quantity in every production stage."
Agent (Marge A.): "For example, there are 200 orders expected for this week but the demand is higher."
Agent (Marge A.): "These may cause the delay with your order."
Me: "Why would an order placed this week affect the production of my order placed before these new ones?"

Question evasion ensues clouded by more vague and cut/paste answers.

Guess we're all screwed >.<

 

Yes, I uninstalled AFTER scanning all my fingers into simplepass and it still worked for logging in. I subsequently downloading the old HP simple pass (from the january DV7) and it did not run. HP SimplePass Identity Protection Software - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

Do you have a link? I had problems installing the old HP simple pass. I did not run on my computer properly... Does HP CM have all the same features like website PW saving?

 

Here you go
Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools - HP Business Support Center

And yes it does allow Website PW saving

 

I tried and it didn't work. I don't think it works on windows 7. Also tried HP digital persona and it does not work on win 7 i think. The old simplepass also does not work. Does 3rd party companies make fingerprint management sofeware outside of HP??

It's weird that the old simplepass does not work considering it worked on Win7 before... but it does not work on my laptop. Only the new simplepass (2011) works

Hey, quick question. Has any one received a dv6t qe that ordered on the 15th of march or later?

 

Hmm the MU6192 (25% off) coupon seems to work for the dv7t too

 

Ordered mine on 3/20 estimated build date was 4/1, then on 4/5 it got delayed to 4/11. Read that some got a second delay but I'm getting close to that 4/11 and I havent been notified of anymore delays. Not holding my breath thou.

 

Anyone have a original build date of 4/1 that got delayed to 4/11 get a second delay notice? Just like to know my chances of this thing shipping on Monday.

 

My build date (dv7t) was 3/30, delayed until 4/11 also. I didn't get my first delay notice email until after the shipping date had passed.

Monday 4/11 will be a day of reckoning, as I think a lot of people have 4/11 ship dates.

 

I ordered my dv6 on 3/21 with an est. ship of 4/4 on 4/5 got an ship delay for 4/11. Haven't seen anything yet. I'll make sure to say if it shipped or not by tuesday night.

 

Well I was asking because I ordered on the 15th, but I have been delayed twice. The second delay pushed it back to the 19th of april for me. My guess is that its not a real ship date and just used as a place holder. It almost makes me wonder if I will get a 3rd delay. I wonder what they would offer at that point lol.

 

I don't know if this will work but when I put win 7 on my asus v1b1 (which ships with vista, and no support for win 7, I found a post somewhere about using the vista driver for win 7, and then righclicking on the setpup.exe for the webcam vista driver, select properties, compatibility and select vista, then click ok, then right click, select run as administrator. this actually worked for me. I hope it works for you. Either way let us all know. For what it's worth, the driver is still working on my asus laptop

 

Rage, fellow Redditor?

 

Good luck! I'm a fellow 4/11 ship date, ordered 3/26.

I don't even care about the price, i just want my laptop to play around with

 

like me just finished a clean install

 

I was tolled April 18 one day (6th I think), the next it shipped (now in Alaska) so who knows when any of these will ship.

 

You should update your signature then

 

Whodeymaster, when did you order, I'm guessing the 13 or 14 of March.

 

You guess correctly, it was the 13th.

 

Okay guys, I configured both dv6tqe and dv7tqe to have the exact same specs: 8GB RAM/ATI 6770m/2630qm/640GB7200rpm etc etc. The price came out to a 100 dollar difference between the two after identical coupons were applied.

My question is, what is the real difference between 6t and 7t, and why should I spend an extra 100 on the 7t? Any major perks? improvments?

best,
marcusjhung

 

Grr, I didn't realize you could swap out the 750 gp 5400rpm HD for a 600 gb 7200 RPM HD. I called HP to see if I could get my order updated and they said no, not unless I cancel and reorder.

What will the difference in performance be?

BTW does this laptop come with BT?

 

If you don't mind the dv7t being harder to lug around ... go for it. Warranty is 2yrs (still, right?), sound is better, and you have a second bay for a future disk ... if you care. If you are going to travel a lot with it, I would then seriously consider the dv6t.

 

Fairly accurate description of my face since 03/19 (my old HP Pavilion DV9700Z's death day...)... >.<

Same!!! It better not get delayed. I can't believe I haven't had a computer since the 26th. Almost two weeks!!!! lol

 

Lol wallyy it's a crazy feeling isn't it? I miss having one, a REAL one, a GOOD one lol.

+1 it seems like those who ordered on 3/13 got there laptops and those of us who ordered around 3/20 should be the next batch going out next week. I HOPE!

 

Very Simple
$500 coupon + $150 instant discount.
I asked the rep "Are you sure that you are allowed to give me both discounts. Coz that was not the terms and conditions of the $500 coupon that i had applied to my initial discount" (Yes, i did that - guess i am honest ). She said "Yes sir"

 

$500 off coupon (from the purchase of defective laptop in january) + HP was kind enough to give me the $150 instant discount. The sandy bridge fiasco has been a blessing from God.
No its not a mistake from their end. I didnt want the rep to get into trouble if she was making a mistake. So i stepped up and asked her.

HP was kind enough to stack the $150 even though that was not in the terms of the $500 coupon in January.

 

I ordered on 3/13 and it still has not shipped...

 

I guess I assumed wrong, when is your new estimated ship date?

 

ShadesofBlack thats awesome bro.

Super lucky, nice rep huh? lol

 

4/19... it went from 3/25 > 4/5 > 4/19 :|
