P-7805u

So, my 7811 is supposed to arrive today ! yippee
I think I will keep the 7805 for myself and sell the 7811, assuming it is a good example, for $900 or so. If there is problems, I will simply return it. Either way I have a new, great lappy for Xmas, hurray !

Can u please do me a favor? At boot tap escape to see the BIOS POST and see what version they've used. 9c.12.00, right?

mine says 9c.11.00

Really? Hmm.. Suprising.

If someone has a 7805, would you mind flipping it over and removing the memory/CPU cover and taking a picture of the exposed area so we can see the CPU heatsink/Fan to see if it can handle the Quad Core?

[E-wrecked]

as long as the copper that touches the CPU heatsink is squared up, and not at an angle like some of the early 7811FXs then it will work just fine.

First time poster. Drove 75 miles this morning to pick mine up at BB. I've been kicking myself for missing out on the 7811 for $1250. Many thanks to all that have contributed to the forum. I how found the information most helpful in the evaluating and purchasing. I can confirm that I paid $1049 for the laptop and the Windows control panel, display settings shows 1920 x 1200. Not sure if there is another place to verify the screen resolution??? The box does state WXGA for the screen.

thank you guys. i saw a thread over at hard forum and i got this laptop for about 1150 after taxes and California fees. i haven't opened it yet because im waiting for someone to post their nightmare on why this laptop is $1050. it was HELL trying to buy it. I went to over 3 Best buys in the Socal area when I found one in stock it took over an over and 2 idiotic employees blowing me off telling me 1. there is such laptop 2. if there is such a laptop, we are out of it. I finally got fed up with it 10 minutes before closing and went straight to the manager and he went in the back and got it in less than 5 minutes. He apologized for his employees idiocy and I got my laptop.

I am curious as to how you knew they had one in stock...as I am trying to find one myself. All my BB say they don't have any...I am wondering if they have them stashed in the back and don't know it. What was your trick to get them to look and how you knew it was there?

the best buy i work at had two and i personally sold one and and somebody else bought the other one. we had just got the laptop yesterday. and we are completely out. i wish i had some money to put down on it. matter of fact i was telling the person i sold it to that some specs were wrong on the laptop and he was getting a awesome deal for the price!
