According to the tracking, the package went from CKS to Alaska and back to CKS. I think it crossed the dateline, so it arrived in Alaska the same day but earlier. I guess they sort it according to the date.

Mine was delivered this morning at 8:37, but to the wrong address about 2 miles away!!!!
I called Fedex and they told me they would go pick it back up and deliver it to me. I hope that other person doesn't open up my package.:disgust:

Don't hope for that, pray that he doesn't have a shotgun

Looks like mine was finally shipped, should get it on the 28th, wonder if I'll get a 1201 or the 4101. I got a call about an upgrade, but with all this confusion, I don't know what to expect

PS: Those who already got the ze4101, how is the video card? Is it a Radeon 7500 with dedicated memory?

 

[megatron]

interesting..i ordered on 9/27 around 3pm...after the initial FW post and never got a call. then when i called myself to see why they overcharged tax, they asked me if i had received a call for upgrade...then they told me i have to upgrade b/c the 1201 is OOS and discontinued. I said fine...that was around 10/10. They called back and told me that delivery on the upgrade would be around the first week of November. I figured that this was better than nothing and was done with it...Lo and behold, what comes to my door on Tuesday? My 1201 straight from Taiwan. I haven't called staples yet or anything, but i think i probably should. Anyone else had this happen?

 

[hawkeye81x]

Apparently, I'm getting this laptop afterall...
I guess I'll keep it.

As for the rebate, it this the one that everyone is filling out for the ZE1201?
Rebate Link

If this isn't it, can someone send me a copy/link to the one that we're supposed to be sending in?
I believe I have to get the rebate out before Oct 28th... at least according to this rebate.

Thanks for the help anyone can give.
-Eok

[hawkeye81x]

I don't have it in hand at the moment, but the one thats being delivered tomorrow is supposedly the ze4101

 

[Triggerhappy007]

They didn't even pick up my laptop from the wrong address yet. :|

How did they ship to an address starting with 18.., when my address is 37..?

i have the same question

 

[jayoung]

Woo-hoo. Finally got my ze1201. Of course with all those enticed with ze4101's I was wondering if anyone wanted to trade. Also I'm looking to pick up another 256mb for the ze1201. So if you already ordered the RAM and don't need it anymore, PM or AIM, or e-mail me. I'm looking to buy it for $25 shipped.

what a plesant, pleasant surprise that was last night

long story short: we got akiller do or die presentation today so we all burned the midnight oil so to speak last night.. im pooped, tired, got home around 2 am..

and what do i find sitting in my living room? a nice big box.. now, not expecting any delivery since i hadn't ordered anything and the last time i talked to staples on Oct 18, the rep said it will be delayed 3-4 weeks and should arrive sometime in November...

i rush right to the box.. and behold.. L A P T O P has arrived . )

HP Pavillion, 4101, Athlon XP 1500, 128 DDR, DVDROM, 20 GB Disk space,e tc etc etc..

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

best thing: that supposed $300 charge they gonna do? never happened to me..

i wonder if the fact i use a monthly expiring CC# prevented them from charging me an extra $300 . )

-thanks god for his blue privatepayments.. that cc# i used for this purchase expired back on September-

. ) keep your heads up guys, your laptops are definitely, DEFINITELY coming if you didn't cancel your order..

my total price after i sen in the $200 rebates.. = 670 . ) WOOT best "bargain" laptop E V E R! like my lead developer said to me, "it's not really a budget laptop, it's high performance but you made it a budget laptop you prick, and you got a free upgrade! damn scam artist" . ) hehehehe

now how do i get more ram for this puppy? 128 don't seem enough!

halp . (

My 4101 upgraded from a 1201 just showed up this morning in Sacramento, CA. Everyone just hold out, the eagle has landed and is making deliveries!

 

[kensplace]

Received the 4101 just before noon-everything worked got to get use to the blue lights. However, when I did the system info it stated it was amd 1500xp but also states that it was running at 697hz ( I am assuming that I will have to go change some setting, bus speed-mutiplier, etc) anyone see what their 4101 is running???

Other than the stated running speed everything was a-ok

PS: when you open the lid there is a sticker on the left that states something like enjoy making your own music--cds--with your combination cdrw-dvd drive--I got really excited- but when I checked the system hadware it shows up as a normal cd-dvd player--so now I am just excited with the lappy;-)

 

[DavemanUT]

It's only running at 697? I heard about this problem. You better just go ahead and RMA it now. BAD THINGS MAN.

There should be a setting withing WinXP to set what "mode" you want to run your system at. Right now it's on the mode to save battery power so it'll throttle the speed down to just what is enough. There should be a mode to keep it at 1333 the entire time.
