ARrrggghhh!!

I ordered my first laptop on the 20th. Tricked out Compaq Presario R3000Z for $1100, and I've found myself checking my order status several times a day. They havn't shipped today which means no shipping this entire weekend. Which means I've got to wait longer for my portable power. I want my lappy now damnit! I've already bought a carrying case and wireless router now I want my new laptop.

I can't wait to surf anandtech from the crapper bitch!!

*rant off* ahhhhhh that felt good. Thanks for reading bitch.

-edit-
It shipped today!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee .

specs?

 

[JoeKing]

Athlon 64 3000+ 1.80GHz, 15.4" WSXGA+ Widescreen, 256MB, 60GB HD, DVD/CDRW, 64MB GeForce 440 w/ 1394 & 5-in-1, modem/NIC, 802.11b/g wireless, IEEE 1394, 3 USB 2.0 ports, Built in 5-in-1 reader, 12 cell battery

I'm going to buy another 256mb next month. I would have gotten a model with a better vid card, but the battery life would have blew.

why would they ship it on a saturday?
also, nice specs - but in my experience with AMD laptops you're gonna have not-so-good battery life as it is anyway. - oh, and it'll be HOT

 

[JoeKing]

its the 64 model. Supposedly it's very energy effcient. And I was just hoping it would somehow ship today

 

[imported_KirbsAw]

Same thing for me when I ordered mine last year. Multiple checks everyday, so sad when there are no updates.

Been there, done that.

Three days is pretty fast to expect it to ship though.

Ugh toilet posting!

 

[Rudee]

Oops. nevermind

 

[Fenixgoon]

why did you order compaq?? their product quality is in the sh!ts, unless they've stepped up over the years.

 

[AccruedExpenditure]

What's your battery life looking like

 

[JoeKing]

expect 3-4 hours battery life becuase of the AMD chip. But we'll see. It is damn heavy though, and there is one stuck pixel on the right side. It's only noticable on all black screens so I'm not sure if I'll go through the hassle of returning it just for that.

 

[AccruedExpenditure]

Yes I have a dead spot on my dell too. They're the pits.

Curious to know the battery life tho. Keep me updated.

I got it becuase it's damn cheap!! For the price I got a lot of features I couldn't get with say a Dell. I'm halfway there to my portable DV studio. Now to save up for that DV cam. Quality wise from what I can tell initally everything seems to be built pretty solid.
