HP DM1z

[WAldenIV]

Again, I'm just going off the reviews and information available online. I'll be doing the minimized recovery as soon I make a back-up of my system as soon as it arrives. My estimated ship date is next Monday.

I just realized (duh!) that my webcam isn't working, or even showing up, after I did my clean install of Win7 Pro. Which HP software package contains the drivers for the webcam? TIA

First Impressions:

The keyboard is amazing, though I'm still working out the bugs of not having a dedicated PgUp, PgDn, Home and End keys. I'm a writer by profession, so lacking these keys will take some adjustment.

While it is definitely not as convenient as having the dedicated pg up/down keys, just wanted to let you know that fn+up and fn+down arrows work as pg up/down. Also fn+left arrow = home and fn+right arrow = end.

Try going into the advanced bios by pressing a after you press f10. Then disable the webcam, save the settings and reboot. Go back in the advanced bios and enable it and that might fix it.

Has anyone written a guide for installing the wireless driver on Ubuntu?

Im the only who thinks that a new version of the DM1z with an A2-3250 will be amazing? personally i want one like that.

Sweet! My DM1z is shipping one full week before the estimated build date.

You guys are killing me with comments like this. Happy for you but killing me. Ordered on the 27th and scheduled to ship on the 11th but haven't heard anything yet. Anyone else close to this window that has news? Any Japanese component concerns?

Thanks for all the good info on this board. Got my 32gb flash drive and all my files on my external waiting to go. " I want my dm1z" (Dire Straits voice)

waiting...............

Yes, I know. But learning these combinations will take weeks of repetition to get down pat.

Having dedicated keys is so much simpler. But thanks anyway.

Don't feel bad, dude. I ordered my DM1z on 3/19. So if it ships next Monday, you'll still have your machine in less total wait time than me.
