Picked up a dv5000t

yup, I checked all accessories on hp website but they all too costly, only warranty is something I found that will make $50.00 coupon worth it.

 

roflol do u ever sleep?

 

I'll look into the coupon tomorrow, but I'm not sure it would benefit me. The only one I can see for $100 is the accidental damage insurance, but I'm typically really careful with my stuff, so I'm not sure if it would pay off for me. But $15 for a $60 set of noise-cancelling headphones doesn't sound too bad to me. I'd like a pair for the notebook anyway as my MP3 player only has the small in-the-ear variety.

A little bit, in by 1:00AM and up by 6:00AM, but it's only 11:00PM here right now. Where do you live?

 

Hey what did they tell you in your email about the delay? did they say when they expect shipment?? I ordered mine from costco with an expected ship day of also the 14. I called HP up but other then telling me its still in the factory i don't know anything else. I also find it hard to believe that there is a delay or a lack of parts due to the fact that there webiste still has a 11 day lag. (same lag as when i ordered mine) thanks

 

I ordered mine on March 1st from costco, supposed to be shipped by the 15th still waiting.

 

^^They didn't say anything about when it will ship, just that there's a delay so have some money.

 

Houston, TX.. this thread is HUGE now

 

Hey everyone, been reading on here for a while and I have my own dv5000t ordered, supposed to be shipped today (16th).

I think that the delay on yours is for the 1x1024MB ram chip and the processor in it

If you go to the page to customize a dv5000t, and click on the "Need a PC sooner?" over on the right side, it lists a 7 day delay on 1024MB ram chips and 2.0GHz core duo processors, so that might be affecting your shipment date?

Just a heads up, you could probably call HP to find out exactly when its gonna come.

Luckily mine doesn't have either of the delayed components, hope it ships today!

 

im glad i got the 1.8 and 256megs memory!

 

i so cannot wait for a review of this laptop. whoever gets their first, owes NBR a review!!

this laptop is everything im looking for with a cheap pricetag and dedicated video...

im looking to purchase in end of summer...hopefully by then prices have cooled down and possible revisions have been made etc..

thanks
-dj

 

prices are good right now.. 100 instant rebate and 50 mail in rebate.. I would buy now if i was you.

I bet there going to get jacked up now, because **** im like the 5th person ive seen who has 1 on order now.. and this is just people who read this forum. the longer you wait, new **** will come out etc.. best off getting it now!

 

Yeah, I just checked that out. w00t. Sure glad I ordered my 1 stick of overpriced RAM now.

And about the offers, mhx, there's only 1 offer valid per order, or something. I think I would have to pick either or, but at any rate I've already ordered the headphones, so oh well.

 

my decision to purchase at the end of summer is because i have to work through the summer to get my $$ for tuition and possibly the dv5000t

im always a little hestitant to get something when its initially released to the public. just want to aviod recalls, initial problems that werent detected by the manufacturer etc

-dj

 

call them and downgrade your CPU/memory.

I think im pretty sure of what I am going to do as for upgrades in power/speed.
Get another stick of the memory that I already have:

Upgrade the HD to 80GB depending on what type/brand hd they give me for the 40GB. with:

*the 5400RPM is the best bang for the buck in speed and saving battery life.

i started a new post about memory: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=45146
check it out

 

laptops are rarly recalled. roflol.

30day return policys are nice things

we will keep you posted on how this sucker turns out. right now its a race to see who's comes first!

 

Yup. Just ordered myself. Hurry up and review it, guys, 'cause now I'm going to be one of those people that sits around whining about my delivery date. oh, and i know i got hosed on the memory, I was feeling rich. but to dj---i got mine through Costco, which costs about the same as HP, and I can walk in any time in the next 6 months, and just return it.

nice theres another!

 

Hey anybody who gets a shipping confirmation: Can you guys let us know once it ships, Especially those who ordered in the beginning of the month. Like someone around here already said if you ordered the 2ghz cpu or 1 gig ram as of now HP's site says its a 7 day delay. I hope i don't have to wait another 7 days.

 

i think thats the point of this huge thread to keep each other updated

 

Well mine didn't ship yesterday (16th) like it was supposed to, I called HP last night and they said there was no specific backorder on my machine, just a backup in factory due to the popularity of the dv5000t.
They said to definitely expect it by the middle of next week at the latest. So I'm guessing that means it should ship either today or on Monday. Hope you guys all get yours soon too!

 

I've checked again and mine still hasn't shipped out. On the website, they still claim there is a 7 day wait for the 2.0GHz processor and 1 Gig stick of RAM, as they did yesterday. I'm hoping this means that my laptop is delayed 7 days from the original estimate, and not another 7 days from the current date. I guess we'll see, I'm hoping it'll come next week.

 

just debating on this laptop since it has a WXGA screen
i was hoping to get an SXGA+ or even WSXGA screen on my new laptop since i do multitask alot

-dj

 

the screen should be about the right size i think

 

Well, I just got the shipping delay email too. I guess it didn't have anything to do with backordered parts, just a general backup in the factory.
Mine is now supposed to ship on the 20th, which isn't too bad.
I also got the $50 coupon for hp.com.

 

Anyone do some benchmarking on this? What 3dMark05 scores does it give, can someone post them please?

Thanks

 

^^No one has one yet. Given the graphics card I would expect the '05 Benchmark to be in the 2000 range.

 

wow. the 7400 would really pull that??
also is the 7400 in the dv5000t a TC (turbo cache = shared memory) or actaully have its own 128mb dedictated to itself?/

-dj

 

it's dedicated

 

Don't quote me on it, it wasn't on this particular machine, I'll see if I can remember which one it was.

 

its 128mb dedicated, with no turbocache unlike the sony FE's and SZ's which have 128mb ded and turbocache.


And yes it will put something around 1800-2000 in 3dMark05.

 

yo if u guys ordered a dv5000t checkin: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=1302373#post1302373

 

I'd like to see how the 128MB version of the GeForce Go 7400 fairs with games. I love all the other features of the dv5000t, but I'd like the option to play some of the fairly newer games on it (even at the expense of good graphics).

I'll be watching this topic closely to see how this baby runs

 

http://laptopmag.com/Review/HP-Pavilion-dv5000t.htm

"The dv5000t is one of the first notebooks to use Nvidia’s mid-tier GeForce 7400 Go processor. In terms of raw performance, it actually represents a step down from the dv4000’s graphics chip (ATI’s Mobility Radeon X700). That scored a 5,744 in 3DMark03 when we reviewed it last November; the 7400 on the dv5000t scored a lower but still respectable 3,996. In our FEAR frame rate test, the system turned in a score of 23 fps with autodetect settings (800 x 600 resolution), which is good enough to play the latest titles at lower resolution."

 

Guess what shipped from China last night!!

 

good at least some1 is getting it

 

Wow I didn't know they worked through the weekend, thats cool, you might have it on Monday!
Hope mine ships tonight or tomorrow.

 

The estimated delivery date is Wednesday, but I hope it comes sooner because I'll be up at school all day.

 

Ah, thanks drew. I guess google wasn't my friend last night...

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it astro, don't keep us hanging

 

TICK TOCK as the clock tock's.. blah waiting sucks.. o wait i said that already

 

Mine shipped last night as well

 

Yeah, I'll have to do a little mini-review or something. I don't have the experience with laptops that others do on this site, so don't expect anything worthy of a Pullitzer. I'm on a somewhat limited schedule, so maybe I'll at least try to get some basic stuff out about it, especially the weight (I've been most interested in that since I need to carry it around my campus) and battery life.

wholey big thread!

 

Hey, astrocreep96 how did you find out it shipped? did you get an email from them or did you call hp directly? I know in past notebooks i ordered the email confirmation of shipment came a couple days after shipment. Where did you order it from? I ordered mine from costco with also a shipment day of the 14th. Hopefully mine shipped over the weekend too.

 

I ordered directly from hpshopping.com on the 1st of March. I checked the order status on the 19th and the site said it had shipped out the evening of the 18th. Soon after I got an email confirmation.

 

Mine shipped last night!

 

Better update your sig

 

well mine shipped 2days early! its not even updated in the fedex tracking system so it must of left last night sometime.

 

Mines on the FedEx vehicle for delivery this morning! Should be here soon.

 

spyder,

For the love of God, give us more details when you get it!
Pics etc. would be nice

 

Mine is supposed to be delivered today, but for some reason it shows that they tried to deliver to another city at 8:30AM, even though FedEx usually comes around our area at 4:30PM. So, maybe I'll get it tomorrow or maybe they'll try again today? I'm not really sure what's going on...
