Upgrading the RAM is easy.
Flip it over (turn it off first), unscrew 4 screws and slide the new RAM in. Just have to be sure the RAM is compatible since it is shared with the video memory. I put in a free AR 512 stick from BB, it took about 5 mins total.
Stopped by my local OfficeMax yesterday, they had the "slate" colored Microsoft Wireless Optical Notebook Mouse on clearance for $29.00. (YMMV in that I don't know if every store has them on clearance, they might).
Link to mouse at OM (blue colored version).
I thought there were rebates...
Dumb question, but will a slim DVD/CD writeable drive work on any laptop? No way, right? How can I check to see whether it would fit in my laptop or not?
Thanks in advance.
If it were me alphafox, I would wait.
I almost pulled the trigger on a Dell 700m about a week before this deal came out and for close to $800 (+ shipping?) you're getting a barebones machine...granted you already have some upgrades, but still...I dunno.
Also can confirm the PC 2700 Kingston...
I just got my laptop! w00t! :D
Weird thing is I never got an email and the TechDepot status page wasn't updated late last night...but it was this AM. And the Fed Ex guy showed up just a few mins ago (good thing I am way late for work or I would have missed them).
For reference, I had...
11 Biz days or 11 days total?
One of the FW guys called a CSR and they said 11 business days total before shipping - one for order to go from TechDepot to OD and one day for OD to China (or something), plus the 9 biz days it takes to build.
I was really hoping to get it before Labor Day...
Suggest you guys check out the older thread about the Compaq v2000z on here. It has similar info to this - same rebates, same rebate links, discussion about the printer, etc.
Should be able to complain to OD if they don't give you a rebate for the printer, make sure you get a copy of the ad...
Got my local BB in FL to do it today.
Didn't take much - cashier didn't know what to do w/ coupon, so I took it to customer service desk. $59.99 for memory and $30 for installation - $90 coupon = $0 (OK, I did buy the LCD Soundsystem CD for $14.99 :) Couldn't just rob them blind.)
Anyone...
Pretty sure it's PC2700.
Check this thread out, though:

FYI, I got my printer today (arrived yesterday but I wasn't home to pick it up). Sounds like some of the guys at FW are getting their laptops today as well (not...
Use this link"]link.
In the upper left, it says "Print this rebate and close this page". Use that or right click the image and choose "Save As...", then load it up in Paint or something and print it that way.
I think OD does match competitors coupons. Not that the coupon was just that - a coupon - and not a rebate.
I don't know if going in post facto would work or not - if anyone has tried it, please let me know. I might just call them and find out.
Got all excited when I got an email saying an...
It's an extra $46 for the 5400rpm HDD. I went ahead and upgraded.
My total package came to 1179.49 w/ tax. If that additional $100 rebate works, I'll be getting the following for $780 shipped (stupid tax and shipping). I also didn't look for a Staples coupon...doh.
My config:
AMD Turion...
I was a little confused, too, but if you reread that coupon it says (in some of the smaller print):
"$100 Select B-Y-O HP or Compaq Notebook computer with a Select AMD 64 Processor Mail-In Rebate"
I'm pretty sure by 2 items they mean the notebook and one of the additional 64 bit processors...
That would be cool (taking pics of a 700m), I've looked at a few reviews but it's always so hard to tell how big it is when it's just a laptop on the floor.
I'm *this* close to pulling the trigger, but when I was looking last night Dell gave me a 2% off code for being pre approved for their...
