    • AngryMan on 19/10/2011 - 16:50

      I have the same frame and mine doesn't get hot, it stays warm even when playing games like BF3 and Portal 2.

      • Elijah on 19/10/2011 - 17:09

        We get a LOT returned due to overheating and the Aluminium frame creates a DOME and capsules heat like no other, hence they moved back to creating their old plastic frames… ;)

      A quick google search for "HP DV6-6146TX" answers your question.

      • CarbonTwelve on 19/10/2011 - 19:14

        The suggestion is that the official specs are wrong, given every other DV6 has gigabit. Hence he wants someone who has received the laptop to check.

      • db1 on 19/10/2011 - 21:00

        Can you tell me how to find that information ?
        I know the HP website said it was gigabit but not sure where to look to confirm.

        • CarbonTwelve on 19/10/2011 - 21:09

          If you can look in the device manager to find the model number of the LAN chip then we should be able to tell from that. Best way of course is to just plug it into a gigabit port, but not everyone has access to that :)

        • db1 on 19/10/2011 - 23:06

    I placed an order Sunday morning (16 Oct) and haven't received it yet. I'm living in Adelaide. They gave me a tracking number and using it at Auspost website says this:

    17/10/11 23:53 (Time) Accepted at Sortation Facility (Activity) SYDNEY PARCEL FACILITY OPNS (Location)

    Never thought it would take this long to arrive. Called Auspost and they pulled out the same info and added it seems that the parcel hasn't arrived in Adelaide.

    • Kouta43 on 20/10/2011 - 12:23

      I'm in the same boat. In Hobart though. Has been showing the same thing all week, I just assumed that it's AP tracking issue:

      It's a Public Holiday here today, so won't come. But I would expect it to arrive tomorrow. No excuses really.

        Hi Kouta43,

        Please let us know if there is a need for us to step in and contact Auspost. The best way is to pop a mail to our customer support at mail@shoppingexpress, and if urgent, give us a ring at 02-83388899.

I'm very surprised the Adelaide person hasn't recieved theirs. I'll defenitely follow up though if it hasn't arrived by Monday arvo.

      Hi OW,
      Please provide your order number?

      Also, please note:
      Auspost will usually update the status on their tracking website at a later time than when an item has been loaded into the truck of the driver, and our manifest submitted to them. Therefore, your item was dispatched by us earlier than 17/10/11 23:53 (Time) for sure. We will try contact Auspost and see what is going on, but please understand: we do not have authority to request Auspost to speed up their delivery, therefore we cannot promise you 100% that you will get a positive response from our investigation.

      • ow on 21/10/2011 - 10:14

    i ordered mine on Saturday morning and got it at 4pm on Thursday. considering that it took a few days just for my bank to send the money, i guess its pretty fast, but i'm in Brisbane. it looks better than it did in the pic and works very well. haven't had the overheating problem yet but the fans can be pretty full on if you're doing something big like running the virus scan or paying a game. but its pretty easy to just go into the power plan advanced settings and change the fan properties. after i did that it was insanely quite and didn't make a peep.
    my major tip for people who bought this laptop like me is to make full use of the switchable graphics, switch all the less graphics intense programs (like office, word, IE, etc) on power saver and the computer will automatically use the integrated graphics saving you a tonne of battery life. switch all the intense programs like games, video editing and CAD software to high performance and the computer will automatically use the 2GB ATI 6770 graphics card giving you some very satisfying performance indeed.

    for the slightly more advanced, don't forget to go to msconfig.exe and remove the unnecessary start-up programs, you can also change the number of cores being used during bootup to 8. it should speed up the start up a bit.
    Hope it helped - cause i'm going back to my game of Crysis :P

    • EnALup on 21/10/2011 - 02:45

      Long awaited question for you, I think, you will be able to answer. Can you find out the speed of ur ethernet card. I am sure, it is gigabit 10/100/1000 and not the 10/100.

    • ShoppingExpress on 21/10/2011 - 08:41

    its definitely 10/100/1000 or GBE - gigabit ethernet (a gigabit per second). i would have been Very Very surprised if it had 10/100 ie Fast Ethernet - which is seriously outdated. i think 10/100 came out 15 years ago only to be replaced by GBE 3 years later. in other words, you have no chance in hell of finding a laptop with 10/100 nowadays so you don't have to worry about it dude, we're definitely getting the good stuff lol

    Thanks ShoppingExpress, my laptop was delivered today. :-) Interestingly, there is a sticker on the parcel saying 'Road Transport Only' - 'Not to be delivered by air'. Not really sure of AP's reasoning behind this. Maybe it would have been delivered too quickly by air, they have a rep to uphold afterall. lol

    • CarbonTwelve on 21/10/2011 - 12:25
