New Pavilion 2000t

Well, just ordered my 2000t laptop about 2 hours ago, If there is anything I need to know about the shipping, packaging, or anything let me know.
Also, does the HP e-financing sick you with the 22% interest rate if you pay off the entire balance in the first bill?
Let me know some of your experiences with the 2000t laptop, let me know if I made the right decision in purchasing this brand new model.

 

If you pay a credit card balance in full during the first statement, they cannot charge interest by law. Go ahead and do that! Avoid the 22%.

 

Hey szabodabo, I used the e-financing and there is no interest rate for 6 months. After that it is 22.4% APR but by then it'll be payed off.

 

Thanks for the info on the financing.
What about user experiences? Did I make the right decision?
Thanks

 

Szabodabo, you made an excellent choice. A guy with good taste I must say. hahahaha
I'm very happy with my DV2000T. Great looks, performance, speed, video, and price. You won't regret your purchase.

 

congrats on the purchase

Will it ship before the 31st or is this a sure-fire date?

 

HP usually ship earlier than the estimated ship date. I got mine delivered exactly a week after placing the order. Congrats on your new HP dv2000t. Its a great notebook.

 

Awesome choice. My only complaint (and it's not a big one) is that the new black finish yields fingerprints. But I just wipe 'em away with that little cloth that's included. (I just hope it doesn't scratch). I also went with the Integrated Graphics since I'm not a gamer (maybe some Madden) and for the battery life. I did go with 2gb ram and a 120gb hard drive to future proof me. One of the best features - I elected the Bluetooth option and it has the "high quality audio" profile!!! (nice because I have a pair of I-Phono mini headphones). Decent images on the 1.3mp webcam (looks better in lighted areas). The 12 cell battery weighs it down, but I'll take it just for the extended usage. Network card is really strong. Speakers are typical - loud, clear, crisp - but not too good on the bass.

 

I just received my new laptop and you can expect a review within 2-3 days.

 

Looking forward to your review.

The Go 7200 should score 8k for 3dmark01, 2.7k for 03' and 1.5k for 05' as reference.

 

Actually, reaper90 beat me to the review. I just went to check on the benchmark stats and I saw the review posted... Ah well, the early bird gets the worm. I may post a review in a few weeks anyway, though.

 

Can Anyone share the pics of DV2000t with 12 cell battery

 

I posted a couple of pics just yesterday...
