hi all,
I just wanna said thanks to all and specially to Tacjam and Josephcruz...
After 3 weeks of searching Notebooks... in the end, x6000 was the winner of my desktop replacer, however...sniff sniff.... After I found this thred.... x6000 no longer has 256 x600 video card and the price has seem to go up up and up..
SO~~~ in the end, I ordered, xd8000. P4 640 3.2G, 40GB 4200rpm (gonna upgrade it over chirstmas for 7200rpm) 256 rem 400 (gonna upgrade to 2g 533 over chirstmas) 256 x600 video card and one remote contoller. for 1538.99 ... can I get a Yahooooo~~~~ :P

again thanks to thred for helping me choosing zd8000 which is same as x6000. It is gonna be the true Desktop replacement, I am gonna sell my 2 tower (sniff... goodbye my babies..) and sony vaio slim pro (once I get the notebook)... Now I join you guys on waiting for the notebook sniff sniff... tomorrow I gotta call HP for mess up my address to ship it here (those punk!)
also on that note.. I just wanna let new ppl who is thinking about ordering hp notebook...when I order mine.. the guy was trying to scare me on how if I upgrade mine Rem then they wont warrenty it..
dont be scare.. either tell them to give u 2g of rem for the online price that is offer by others (400 dollar) or just keep it on 256 rem.
anyway.. thanks all.. just wanna share my joy with u guys

someone suggested that we can buy this ram:
http://www.pagecomputers.com/cgi-bin/page/B1535697.html

is this the right type of ram? just want to double check before i place my order. i'm thinking of getting 256m, then buy the ram above and just stick it in the notebook. will it work that i mix (the one that comes with the notebook) and match (with the one listed above)? thanks.

Thanks JosephCruz! I'll try the your suggestion!! But now I'm not sure if I should wait.. argg....[B)]

Not sure they come and go. Someone said to order over the phone and tell them you are a student. For a better discount.

Not sure why everyone is getting the delay's for, but for the price I would wait too.

BTW your welcome rchen, glad you got some use out of my posts. [8D].

i'm getting quite upset about this whole wait... have the other "14th people" gotten any updates on their laptops?

Called HP on 14th to confirm shipment. Instead they told me my order was on hold because of a lack of 7K60 drives. No estimate for updated ship date. Basically, it's either cancel or wait []

I just tried to use my $50.00 coupon and it only gave me $24.99. What's up with that! Anyone else used theirs yet?

I tried to call about the coupon but you guys have the phones tied up with order status questions! LOL!

Hold tight guys. After I was told mine was delayed it shipped about 3 days later. It's worth the wait!

Hi, can you use the $50 coupon on the purchase that you have already made for the notebook? So whatever total amount minus $50. Can you do that, or it has to be a brand new transaction, meaning you have to spend the money on somthing else. pleae advise.

oh wow.. just got off the phone with hpshopping and honestly these people have no shame. the first representative says that my order is gonna be delayed till april 4th. then i talk to the supervisor, and she says it's gonna be delayed till 20th...20th!! can you believe that a full 2 months after i put in the purchase. well she recommended that i send them an email requesting a downgrade for the harddrive.
i'm really really really annoyed. I got a 2 gigs of ram waiting for a computer that's delayed till eternity.. I think i'll have to return it to to memmory4less.com. if anyone wants to buy it off of me we can work out a deal. i also have a lapcool2 that i probably won't be able to put to use...
arghhgg.. anyone interested with these items email me at serparlak -at- yahoo.com. don't expect a great deal though, it's not like i'm gonna let go off them that cheap.
