Bye bye to L2000?

What battery life are you getting?

Just got my L2k notebook that I ordered for my wife. Very impressed with the weight, brightview widescreen and speed seems to be up there. Only game loaded at this point is Post Mortem which shows up in widescreen. She had to increase the default font size to view web pages more comfortably is about the only bad thing I can say about it, although it looked fine to me.

Modmatt,
Because you are the first to get one, you must now provide a full review. :-)

You ordered on 6/22, with expected ship date of 7/7. But you got it 7/1, 7/2? Did you have normal or express shipping?

So it's two weeks from order to receipt, which is pretty standard for HP's process...I've order 5 different laptop from them and they always took exactly 2 weeks.

Not sure as of yet since we haven't run it down from a full charge. Will try and post up over the next few days. I can tell you that we got the 6 cell battery since the 12 cell looked so huge that it appeared that it would stick out the bottom of the laptop and not sit flush. Battery life wasn't a huge issue with us making the decision.

Ummm, that was my full review . If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer. Seriously though, we got the standard shipping and custom ordered from hpshopping.com the day it was available to order, 6/22 and recieved it in NY on Friday morning 7/1. It shipped through Shanghai, to the Phillipines, to Alaska, then directly to NY. I was impressed with how fast it actually arrived and no problems with Fedex. Box was perfect condition.

Thx. That is basically the same config I got. Yes, they ship them from China and they show up in good condition. Fedex knows how to move packages.

can you run Super Pi on it (2M places) and tell us how long it takes?

Thx.
