I assume this is the OEM version? Good deal if it is

 

wow well this deal is dead now... once hp gets a surge of orders forget it

 

The deal is only semi-dead...it's only completely dead if the price goes back up to normal or if HP no longer accepts any more orders.

 

no i meant by posting it here it will be all over the place like sdeals etc. we should have kept it to the aw forums..

 

Yeah, shoulda kept this one under wraps....


Ah well.

This will get yanked pretty quick either that or HP is trying to dump excess QX9300 inventory to make room for i7 mobile parts...

 

could this have fit in my laptop? the Sony in my sig?

 

Same, Would this fit the SXPS 16?

 

Doubtful it would work on the Dell. I don't know about the Sony, but if you can customize it on the site w/ a quad core then it would work, else probably not either.

 

Nice price

 

too bad I can't configure an HDX18 with that price

 

Oh My Goodness, now I have to buy this asap before it gets leaked !
I guess I have to buy this processor first and take out the processor I was going to buy in my to-be-laptop and wait till the laptop goes on sale and go with my pre-configured system w/o the processor. Then, when I get my new laptop (HDX18T) I can just pull out the processor that comes with the HDX18T and punch in the new QX9300. Or is there really a "mobile" i7 coming out and is this really a get-rid sale for HP? By the way do any of you know when HP will start Laptop sales for HDX? Its August 3rd and I'm getting a bit anxious because School is only one month away (Back to School sales).

EDIT: I just bought my HDX18T and bought this Processor with expedited shipping
I'm soo excited

 

don't assume it'll be that simple. Be sure to consult the aftermarket parts & upgrades forum to see if that mobo can handle this processor.

 

Is this part a genuine product that has everything like a heatsink and etc?
I was on chat and the customer service agent assured me EVERYTHING sold on the HP Parts Store is Genuine (Meaning it has everything as if Intel directly sold it to me)

 

I just got mine today. No heatsink because not all heatsinks are the same. It does come with a alcohol wipe and thermal grease.

 

Did you order your HDX with a quad core? I'm not sure but think HP HDX 18t has a different heatsink and thermal pad for quads, might want to check on that so you will have all your ducks in a row when it comes time for the qx9300 to go in.

 

So the only thing I need to buy is the heatsink right? Can you check the product # with what you're getting because at the moment I think it's 512184-001. Also, some copy and pasting..... Oh and I did NOT buy the processor WITH the laptop. I bought it from the Parts store but I now think that may have been a mistake because it would've only costed 100$ more to buy w/ the laptop and I might have to even think of buying a new mobo now!?
^ ^
I was wondering if my new computer will be able to handle this new processor (QX9300). The part # of the heat sink I need to get is 512184-001. I am wondering if my mobo can handle this? I heard some talk that some mobo's can't handle it (processor). Can you check my specs so that you can verify whether or not the QX9300 + the heatsink in my brand new laptop will work? Thanks.

You probably should go to the HP owners thread with that question. I can tell you two things, first if the laptop is sold with the processor your motherboard will support it. If HP had a different motherboard for different processors it would just cost them more money to produce. Second I've never see the same notebook sold with different heatsinks based on the proc. At least not in the newer systems. HP, Dell, lenovo and the other big companies mass produce these things and to have different types of motherboards or heatsinks in a single model would be stupid.

With that said I don't currently own an HP system so check with those folks to make sure everything will work for you.

 

Sorry, I was googling the heatsink product # and came across this page in the Owner's thread. http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=300221&page=504 Please read the WHOLE page and you'll understand what I'm talking about mobo's and different heatsinks and whatnot.

 

I saw some of the posts, 3 different motherboards? That's ridiculous. Anyway looks like you posted there so they should be able to get you your info you need.

 

I know. 3 Mobo's IS ridiculous. However, I thank you very much for your concern. I just canceled my old order/parts today and ordered a new laptop (HDX18T) customized WITH the QX9300.

 

Looks like it my order may go through.
Ordered on 8/4 and order is open being processed and scheduled to ship on 8/8 (today). 545.91 with tax / shipping.

 

still orderable but not in stock

 

I got mine at the beginning of this past week so it took 3 weeks to get after ordering.

 

can you use Bing cash back for this?

 

I think not

 

Aye, you can not use Bing Cashback for this. I tried every which way to see if it was doable, and it is not.

 

really? so if you enter via the bing portal it does not stay with you and give you credit

have you gone through the entire transaction to see if it shows up?

 

will this fit in the sony sr? i currently have a p8600. If it does, i will need to mess with the bios huh, or am i wrong

 

Check the Sony forums. Probably get a better response there.

 

so did anyone actually receive this deal?

 

Join the party.

 

Yes I did. Ordered on like 8/3 got it on 8/20. Said backordered when I ordered it. Pretty sweet. $545 w/shipping.

 

NICE

now if I could only find a way to use the bloody $50 home store code I have for this.

 

It's two different sites. Even requires two different accounts. I tried because I get a discount through work.

 

lol, resurrecting an old thread for giggles....

supply/demand at its finest.

Go check the price now

 

$1718.55 even at that price, they may not ship

 

In the australian HP parts store it's $2695.41AUD.

EDIT: Does anyone know the HP part numbers for some MXM GPUs?

 

UK price £1200 :') wow...

Grats on the guys that got the deal, phenominal pricing.

 

I think I bought 4 of these last year. All long gone.

 

Yeah I snatched up 2 back then. Good times drake, good times.

Now I'm waiting for a killer price on a 940XM OEM when they finally actually show up...

 

I think I bought (3) at that time....... just to find one that could OC better....LOL !!!! but who is counting? ...

I don't think HP will ever go XM again by the look of their HP line-up.

 

It's actually amazing how many system officially support the 920 or 940. M15x, M17x, Clevo x8100, W860CU, W870CU, W880CU, x8100....Any others? I know with the G73 it works but last I saw it wasn't officially supported.

 

Dell Studio 1747 and Studio XPS 1645 both work with the 920XM. I had a 920XM running both of 'em.

 

Some Thinkpads also.

 

If anyone still 'needs' one of these Gems let me know (Oem Qx9300)

UPDATE: I sold mine within 2-3 days of posting this. ITs gone, please stop sending me pms asking.

 

Does anybody have any left here?
