*HP dv6t Select Edition (3XXX series) Owners Lounge*

Congrats on your purchase, but I'm sorry to hear about the scratches. Does the touchscreen work with any kind of stylus or is it a capacitive-only stylus?

 

hawc1506 it stayed one day.

 

Thanks for the reply! Does that mean it stayed overnight at Anchorage?

 

I'm under the impression that the "Int'l release" on the tracking means that it stayed overnight to pass through customs.

That means monday at the earliest. Noooo I hate weekends (for delivery)

 

As a high school student, this will be the first time in my life I am looking forward to a Monday, and that's saying a lot seeing as I have summer school (not remedial but for projects that will make my application look better).

 

Here is my full shipment log.

Departed on the 8th from Anchorage... i'll update tomorrow.

 

Hm that's slightly different from Morx's. But I'm guessing for me it'll be Monday at the earliest. I guess ours is still sitting in AK.

 

My logs show no such international shipment release... should I be worried?

Mine's like that too. The intl shipment likely won't show up until tomorrow.

 

Seems a Friday arrival is out of question.




A toast, fine gentlemen, that we make it through the weekend mentally unscathed from FedEx's diabolical weekends-off stature.

 

To be honest with you, I've been sleeping extra long hours just so I can avoid as much time consciously waiting as possible.

 

where can you find the Hp coupon codes?

 

Quite honestly just Google "hp coupons".

 

yeah, answered my own question. thanks.

 

Peterc1, You can return it for another one if for some reason you are unsatisfied. You have 21 days if I recall correctly. There are people that posted info on battery life and temperatures for their laptops with quad cores, 720 I believe, earlier on in this thread. You might be able to get right to it with the thread search feature.

 

I have orientation on Tuesday, so this laptop needs to come by Monday. Or it's gonna be missing until Thursday.

:cry:

 

Where at brothah?

 

Which school?

 

Cal Poly Pomona

 

Niceee know what you're studying yet?

 

Comp. Engineering or maybe EE.

Humm

 

Hey Peterc, can you post the temps of your i7 setup from hwmonitor?

 

Should I get the Dv6z or the Dv6t?

 

What are your needs?

 

I hate living in Sweden when I see the price for a Dv6t with 160 gb SSD, can get one for like $900. In Sweden we only have normal Dv6 that are pre-configured and cost a lot more. Even with taxes etc it will be a lot cheaper for me to order from the US (just the 160GB SSD cost $500 in Sweden) but does anyone know if the warranty is worldwide and how I can go through with the order without knowing anyone trustworthy in the US?

Saw that someone said people on ebay are selling their service of letting people give him the configuration and he will order it and send it out to you, anyone got a link to anyone that is doing this service or is it just too risky?

 

Way too risky. Don't even think on it.

Just buy an SSD externally if it's that much.

 

It's not only the SSD, without the SSD it costs around $1.1k.
So if I then buy an SSD externally it would be 1.5-1.6k.

 

Unless you need i7 quad core power, which most people don't, the dv6z with an N930 is the better value. It is $30 cheaper than the i5-450M, $130 cheaper than the i5-520M, and $180 cheaper than the i5-540M when it performs basically equal to the 540M

 

Is the N930 cooler than the i5? I understand it can be undervolted while the i5 can't..

 

Handa, I think there was a guy from India on this thread earlier on that was ordering through a USA service, but I have no idea about trustworthiness or reliability. If it were me, however, I would further investigate some of these options.

 

Yeah, thanks for the idea, found a few that give you an address and then forward the mail to your address. But like you said, have to find reviews of them to see if it's actually worth going for. Found one that just take $8.50 extra and then of course the delivery which is like $80 to Sweden.

And even with that, it is still cheaper. Also if anyone knows if the 1 year warranty is worldwide I would appreciate an answer.

 

I don't have a stylus to try so I wouldn't know

 

Yay, mine has shipped, but FedEx says "Package received after FedEx cutoff."

I assume that that means that it's staying in China for another weekend? (I went with the standard shipping).

 

OMG MY GOD!!!!!!!!! ITS OUT FOR DELIVERY AND I FAKLSJDFLJAFJKDALFSD

On FedEx vehicle for delivery
ANN ARBOR, MI

 

I don't know the temps of the i5 but I know my max temp is 66C.

 

NVM Im a bad reader lol

 

Congrats 4saken, please do a review with pictures or a video.

 

I ordered mine on July 4th, and the Order Status still says "In Production". Anyone else getting faster results?

 

I ordered on July 3rd and it was just released for delivery this am.

 

4.3 kg/9.5 lbs here w/ i5, SSD and touch screen.

 

Yea SSD makes a difference, second to the power brick for i5/i7

ANCHORAGE, AK Package available for clearance

Finally

 

I want to be able to play some heavy games like BF:BC2 and COD4, but besides that, nothing out of the ordinary.

Wow, that's definitely something to think about. So if it performs so much better than most of the i5s why is it $50 less. And is it a wives tale that AMD runs hotter than Intel?

 

I am the guy who ordered from India.I have contacted both HP USA and HP India and both confirmed that the warranty is global.They also sent me an email stating that

"All HP/Compaq consumer and business notebook PC's feature a Global 1, 2, or 3 year limited hardware and 30 day software support (90 day w/registration) return to Depot warranty.

The warranty is effective in countries around the globe where HP sells or supports your product. If you purchase your product in one country and then take the product to another country, you will receive the destination country’s standard warranty. It is best to contact a subsidiary headquarters in the destination country or region for service and warranty support information."

 

It is cheaper because AMD is always cheaper than Intel and the hottest I have seen an N930 running is 75C max, in a 35C room.

 

Ab, I've always used AMD processors. If I had known the above information about the speed differences I would have gone with it instead. Go figure after months I still didn't do enough research.

 

Nevermind.. you can't get SSD on the Dv6z... weird.

 

It's cause the ssd is intel. And intel and amd don't like each other.

 

Just got that too. That's weird though, I don't remember seeing "Package available for clearance" on anyone else's. Does that mean customs hasn't gotten to it yet?

 

Mine's is still sitting in AK. Whilst 4saken's has arrived.
