Evil Juggalo,

Quite understandable!!!!! I too would have been excited!!!! Thank you for posting back a "Thank You".

Hope the info ALL here have presented was of use to you.


Here's a post with some links to info that I'm sure will prove helpful:

PS: Good news: I think you're getting a "new" system as the 7600 hasn't been out that long. I think you're going to like the dv8000t.

Yeah, I know im getting a new system.. When I talked to the lady the first time she just looked up refurbs, and when I asked her about the DV8000t she looked for about 5 minutes and said "Well, I dont have any refurbs, so im gonna configure you one ont he HPShopping website.. But it will take a little bit longer to recieve"

So yeah.. Brand New, not Refurbed..
Some day Soon Im gonna post ALL the info you need to get a hold of every aspect of HP if you have any problems with them so no one has to scoure the internet for as much info as Ive had to..

And to everyone else, not Just WeAreNotAlone.. That you all so much for your help.. All this was only made possible by the information youve given me..

Wow of course HP screwed up. Today I got a delivery from FEDEX, which was weird because HP said it should arrive on the 7th and today is the 5th. I'm not so mad about that, but if I wasn't home I would have been screwed. The other thing is they only gave me the driver dvd. To add insult to injury they sent me the wrong driver dvd, they sent me the dv5000 series dvd when I have a dv8000z.

It's standard practice in business to give a estimated delievery date on the far side of when it may ship /arrive and ship early. Also for a little FYI... on items of little value you don't have to be at home... so you wouldn't have been "screwed" by not being home... (Unless you're on the Fed-EX shit list) I got the disc(s) with no problems, they did not require a signature. Note also that orders ship seperately... I got one shipment for the OS, and another shipment for the QuickPlay install disc.... Both ordered at the same time, but for some reason showing as two seperate orders, hence being shipped seperately.

On the other items you are complaining about you have a valid point (being shipped the wrong items, incomplete order.)

To make sure that does not happen again go to partsurfer, look up the part number of the items you are expecting /wanting BEFORE you call up HP,,, then with those in hand get the rep to confirm what you are expecting to receive.

Addtionally give them your e-mail address as once the order is placed you will receive an order confirmation, along with a link to track the order's status.

PS: On the driver disc... you really don't need it... Go to HP and download the drivers....

I was expecting the WIndows Media Center DVD, but they refuse to give it to me because its located on the recovery partition. Ive used it twice and both times it screwed something up. I'm soo frustrated with them.

After looking at some Pics.. who the fxck designed the DV8000t...

Its got a HORRID design to it.. there is 2 usb ports on the left almost at the front, and 2 in the same place on the right.. the ONLY things on the back are teh Kensington lock hole and the Ethernet jack.. thats its.. EVERYTHING else is on the sides.. I can already tell this is going to annoy the hell out of me, but the performance tells me it will be worth it..

why.. why would they do that.. i dont mind the stuff being on the sides, but jesus, just adding accessories is gonna make wires crawl ALL over your desk.. the least they could do would be to place them towards the back..

If the dock didnt lift the screen like 10 inches in the air Id buy it..

Could someone tell me a bit more about the dock.. what all does it feature, is the height adjustable.. worth getting if I use my laptop as a desktop replacement?
