NOW AVAILABLE: ENVY 15-32XX Intel Ivy Bridge (AMD 7750M)

No, not a silly question, because I didn't know to do that

But I just tried it, and no difference

 

Another silly question.
You closed the program before editing the values?

 

Seriously the Envy 17 is not pragmatic for college use, if you live at a real campus and have to walk around with it everyday.
And if you plan to upgrade to ssd, the best way to go is just default hdd...

 

It needs to be under the:
[ATIADLHAL]
section...

 

Yes, it is there and I did close the cfg file - no luck

 

I spent a chunk of this morning trying to figure out why Afterburner wouldn't let me do anything w/ my clock speeds except decrease them, and after having given up, I find the answer HERE while I was looking for a completely different answer regarding the Ivy Bridge Envy 15 displays...

Thanks so much for this info!! This was exactly what I needed to push my clocks back to (and even above) what I had before the latest Catalyst update on my Envy 15.

 

I got a 15% off coupon for a future order and $50 credit for my current one so I'm happy for now. Ship it out ASAP!

 

How did you get that $50 credit?

 

Wah? $50 credit? how long was yours delayed? I wouldn't mind waiting an extra week for $50 xD need to get some accessories for the Envy, was planning to buy a mouse somewhere outside of HP... Mine is suppose to ship today but hasn't and i haven't gotten any emails...

did you do something to get that credit? or they just gave it to you?....

 

Yeah, got the damn delayed email too. Though the website still says June 12. Here's hoping it is the automated thing and we'll see this puppies ship out soon.

 

share please slaughterhouse, what u say/do for it and how late was it delayed
---

btw in ur email under the hyperlink of "your customized order’s latest status ", when u guys click it does it tell u anything? mine just says:

(I blanked out ordernumber )

 

AH, hadn't noticed that link.
And no, mine is also blank.

 

oh ok good i didnt knwo if hp was messing with me again

 

They probably are...
They're probably reading this right now, coming up with new ways to mess with our minds...

 

Does anyone know if 1600 MHz is supported for greater than 8 GB of RAM? The manual states:

Supports up to 16384-GB of system RAM @ 1333-MHz, supports up to 8192-GB of system RAM
@ 1600-MHz

Supports the following configurations:
● 16384-MB total system memory (8192 × 2 @ 1600- and 1333-MHz)
● 12288-MB total system memory (8192 + 4096 @ 1600- and 1333-MHz)
● 8192-MB total system memory (8192×1 @ 1600- and 1333-MHz)
● 8192-MB total system memory (4096×2 @ 1600- and 1333-MHz)
● 6144-MB total system memory (4096 + 2048 @ 1600-MHz)
● 4096-MB total system memory (4096×1 @ 1600- and 1333-MHz)

The information seems to contradict each other. Also is the $10 dollar WiFi upgrade for wireless display a different card or simply extra software?

 

Great question here. In all honesty, it wasn't a hard decision for me ot leave out. Any wireless display technology I have toyed with has been somewhat laggy/choppy. If this is hardware based, we can expect it to suck SOME battery, which is enough for me not to want it. I also don't have any WiDi capable devices and would need a $40+ device in order to run it.

 

Yeap. Mine is delayed until the 18th. I'd cancel of I didn't know how great the envy is. I wish I didn't have to return the sandy bridge one I had a few days ago. *sigh*

 

does urs show anything under the "customized order delay status" page?

 

It still shows that it's estimated to ship on the 12th. The rep told me that it would go out on the 18th.

 

Ughhhh!!! Mine was suppose to ship yesterday... But still in production, no emails from them about delays yet, I really hope it doesn't delay :/... If it does I better get 50$ credit...

 

You should call. I didn't get an email about a delay and yet mine was delayed.

 

oh i meant in ur email but i just saw u didnt get 1

 

Just wondering... Those that were delayed, did your configuration by any chance have the 750GB Hybrid Hard Drive?

 

like ppl mentioned b4 its prolly a batch system when if one person has something wrong inur group everyone is delayeed. that being said, i had the 1333 mhz memory and 3720 processor

 

My bad for leaving you guys hanging. Unfortunately, there is no formula for receiving credits from HP lol I just talked my way into it.

And my order is delayed until the 18th.

 

Mine is supposed to ship on the 15th. Anyone else supposed to ship then? I'm wondering if anyone in my batch got delayed.

 

I ordered on 6/4 and was suppose to ship on 6/13, but it shipped a day early. According to Fedex, it looks like it's on track to get here by tomorrow.

 

This is what the Custom Shipment Delay Page says for me:
Order Number: *****
CE Number: *****
Delay Reason: "Product Constraints"
Current Build By Date: "6/18/12"
Delay Shipment Status: "Open"
Original Build By Date: "6/12/12"

Now what could product constraints be? Hmm... I wonder if it has anything to do with that 160gb SSD I ordered which isn't supported in the laptop. It would seem that the Customer Service Rep I talked to yesterday either lied to me or my laptop is shipping this morning, which I doubt it is, as my laptop still hasn't shipped despite its being "all packaged up and ready for FedEX."

 

Going by this situation here's some advice from me:
"CSOs are trained to bull till the customer puts down the phone... cos not CSO's problem after that anyway..."

 

mine says the same thing.. damn

 

Quick Question
Would the i7 3820 run cooler than an i7 3610 when gaming?
Given its the same game at the same settings

 

i would say it would be slightly hotter cause its more powerful but the difference would be minimal cause they both 45w. the diff b/w the i5 and i7s is greater cause of different wattage 35 vs 45. even then its not that much difference

 

My Estimated shipping was tomorrow (6/15) and I just checked the tracking#, it says: Jun 14, 2012 7:48 AM On FedEx vehicle for delivery.
I won't be home until evening. Will keep you posted on my observations. Can't wait to install 480 gb Sandisk Extreme SSD I got the other day.

 

dang it... you spoiled the batch ... hehe j/k

 

Hey guys, here's another data point. I ordered 6/5, estimated shipping 6/14. It actually shipped June 11 and is on the FedEx vehicle for delivery right now...and I'm on the east coast. It looks like even the free shipping is ridiculously fast.

I got the HD screen, 8GB 1600 Mhz RAM, 3610QM, and 256GB SSD.

 

u were in a good batch.... if only i had known i would have ordereed later . i want my envyyyy

on another note, anyone OC there 7750m yet?

 

So you guys are receiving ivy bridge configured units before any models are even announced for germany and europe?

i will probably make do with the sandy equipped 3010eg, but would rather order it after a product announcement if it would mean a drop in price.

 

long time lurker, first time poster...

just wanted to let you know guys know my new Ivy Envy 15 just arrived this morning (live in NJ), ordered on June 4th with the following specs below with the 33% off coupon, not sure if this is helpful with you guys determining your build/shipping batch or not, I originally had a 6/15 shipment date (free shipping), but looks like it came a day early (kinda surprised by it actually):

my girl signed for the package so I won't be able to get my hands on it until i get home from work later this evening, and i have to stay a few hours late today too (damn it).

once i un-box it i'll try to put together a general overview and address some of the concerns some of you have as far as my build is concerned (heat, red/orange issue still prevalent?, and general build quality).

 

Gave HP another call. Told the CSO my order # and asked if he could check on the status of the order. After being put on hold for about five minutes, he came back and told me that he could see the same delay notice that I saw, but that he would talk to a specialist about what was going on with the laptop and give me a call back by 4pm today with more information. Hopefully this will shed some light as to what's going on with the orders placed on the first day.

 

Looks like some of us are getting them a day early, which is great. Mine also is estimated for tomorrow, but is showing on the truck for delivery today.

 

Damn, only difference between yours and mine is I got 16GB of RAM and I got the 720p camera (instead of the skype one).

Enjoy you lucky SOB!!

 

Mine just arrived!!!
Everything seems in order, with the exception of a tiny bend in the metal beneath one of the USB ports. The port is unaffected, and it is barely noticeable unless you are looking for it or running your hand along the side, so I'll leave it.

Now I just need to go through all the optimization and get rid of the bloatware!

 

ordered on the 5th, estimated for ship on the 15th, on truck for delivery today

Looks like quite a lot of people with the 15th estimated ship are getting it today

 

I hate you all!! :|

 

man I ordered 6/5 and it still says in production. I just hope it ships today....

 

Also, on the Red/Orange issue. I just looked at cnn.com, and honestly, if I wasn't looking for the color issue, I wouldn't have noticed. But then again, I also probably don't have the best monitor for my desktop, and I have no idea what its gamut is, so I may simply be used to imperfect color replication.

 

Hey i forgot to ask this, did they upgrade all the usb ports to 3.0?

 

I am running the envy 15 30xx with the ATI 7690M card overclocked for past 4 months stable at 750/950

my 3dmark11 scores are 1650 and 3dmark06 11500

looks like the new card is between 10%-20% quicker than overclocked older card

 

so ur saying its not much of a difference? cause in the previous one, it was an obvious difference

i believe so

 

Nice to see some of you are receiving your units. I'll be looking forward to a video review soon, I hope.
