Hello guys,
I bought the free upgrade to 4GB RAM. What is the speed of it(1333 or 1099...)? any help appreciated.

It's been determined in the hdx18 thread that the 2 day shipping is a ripoff.

LOL, I wonder how many of our new laptops are sitting in a pile together in Alaska?

I don't get it. Why are so many computers winding up in Alaska of all places? I didn't get the free shipping. Maybe that's why I'm having no delivery problem. I may be returning the computer to HP unopened anyway. My just over one year old broken laptop that Sony said they wanted to repair for $750 (!) got sent back to me when I told them to forget it and just send it back - and now - miraculously - it seems to be perfect! I think they might have repaired it by mistake!

HP 2-Day shipping =

1. 2-days sitting in China.

2. 2-Days Transit from China to Alaska.

3. 2- Days in Customs. (so far, who knows how much longer?)

4. 2- Days from Alaska to House.

This is my first HP experience. I'm quickly losing my enthusiasm.

My first post and Hello to all.
I am in the same boat as my new HP dv8 is in Alaska.

I saw this on HDX user group

"A clearance delay in Alaska. I originally had a delivery date of this Thursday, now I will have to wait until Next week, or maybe even the week after that. All because HP screwed up and didn't send the customs documentation! I've been waiting since the 14th to get this laptop! COME ON NOW, PEOPLE! "

Is this true???

My first HP and here I sit with no PC that is supposed to be delivered today.

Oh well Glad to meet you all.

^^ I was just talking to a Fed-ex rep on the phone, and she explained what the clearance delay meant.

She said that the delay is because they either lost the paperwork or didn't have it in the first place.

Mine is stuck in Anchorage with a Clearance Delay as well. Just to note, the laptop I ordered from HP a couple months ago came into Memphis from Shanghai and did not have a Clearance Delay.

This is true as well.. Never happened before.. Why now?
