Still no quad core in europe :S

Where can I buy a HP 8460p in Canada?! It is not on hp.ca and I dont want to buy international.

Thanks!

Still no one has it hands-on? Dissapointing...

Yeah, I've been chatting online. The problem is that I live in Europe and DHL will ship it to Europe, although the shipping adress for HP will be in the USA. And I don't really want to make an international call. Perhaps I can try skype. But the best solution would be via email or chatting.
Perhaps someone has the email adress of a "good sales rep"

I did my entire transaction through email, so that can work. Hopefully someone will share their rep's contact info with you.

I should have mine Thursday. However, kid activities Thursday through the weekend will prevent me from divulging all the secrets.

Besides, I am no laptop reviewer.

I was torn between this and the Lenovo T520 since only the 15" Lenovo supports quad core processors. Ultimately, I decided 15" was too big and ordered online:

HP EliteBook 8460p Notebook PC, with Mobile Intel® QM67 chipset, and AMD Radeon™ HD 6470M w/1 GB gDDR3
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-2720QM Processor, 2.20GHz
no vPro Technology support
14.0-inch diagonal LED-backlit HD+ anti-glare (1600 x 900) with Webcam
Integrated 720p HD Webcam
AMD Radeon™ HD 6470M (1 GB gDDR3)
2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (1D)
250 GB 7200 rpm 2.5-inch hard drive
DVD±RW SuperMulti DL LightScribe Drive
HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth® 2.1 Wireless Technology
Intel Centrino Advanced N 6205
HP 6-Cell 62 Wh Li-Ion Battery

The ship date isn't until the 21st, but I'll be out of town until nearly then. I also bought a discounted Win 7 Pro license and am going to throw in some aftermarket RAM: 2 sticks of 4 GB (hopefully there is access to more than one slot). I'm also considering buying an SSD but I'll probably hold off on that for awhile.

I got my i7 8460p today. What do you want to know?

I got my i7 8460p today. What do you want to know?

What specs do you have? What display screen have you taken?
Could you share your thoughts about:
1. screen quality
2. keyboard convinience +/-
3. average battery life
4. heat and loud of the laptop.

Thanx!

I got my i7 8460p today. What do you want to know?

1. What screen res did you get, and how bright does it seem to be? (very subjective I know but still curious)
2. How hot and noisy does it seem to get under load?
3. Is having the vent on the right-hand side bothersome? (assuming you are a right-handed mouser)
4. Any noticeable quirks to the overall system? Like a full-tilt fan speed after waking up from standby?

thank you!

Hi,
congratulations!
I would like to know if mSATA is supported, to be able to run the intel 310 SSDs...

Thanks,
Tom
