New Laptop required!

Lance · Jul 24, 2007, 10:21:01

Thanks for the info Glenn.

Grrrr

Just been chasing HP and they have said because of component shortages my laptop won't be delivered until next Tuesday. So annoying!

What annoys me is the way the order status doesn't update to say it's been delayed, and the way the delay isn't communicated to customers

Rik · Aug 15, 2007, 12:53:30

Customer service at its best, Lance.

Still, it gives you longer to look forward to it.

Lance · Aug 15, 2007, 12:54:55

It certainly does Rik!

Sorry to hear that Lance, how frustrating, it makes you wonder if all computer makers share the same incompetent management team.

Thanks for the update.

Rik · Aug 15, 2007, 13:24:55

Austin of HP? Surely not...

Lance · Aug 17, 2007, 10:05:03

Had an email this morning saying my laptop has shipped (yesterday). Coming over from China, I can expect it Monday I would assume! Can't wait!

Rik · Aug 17, 2007, 10:08:10

It depends on the speed of the boat, Lance.

Toes crossed for you, I hate waiting.

Inactive · Aug 17, 2007, 10:44:35

Great news Lance, as long as it doesn't end up with Parcelfarce when it gets to the UK, it will take them longer than Air China.

Lance · Aug 20, 2007, 13:18:48

It's been delivered!!!!! Delivered 10 mins ago by TNT! I'll let you lot know what it's like when I get my hands on it tonight!

Rik · Aug 20, 2007, 13:22:30

I sense you have a headache starting, Lance, that might require you to knock off early???

Lance · Aug 20, 2007, 13:26:51

Feels more like a migrane!

Unfortunately, I'm up to and over my eye's in it at work so don't think I can leave before 4

And even then, I need to go to the gym so won't actually get in til 6

Rik · Aug 20, 2007, 13:28:00

That's just so unfair. Tell you what, give me the address and I'll pop round to play...

Lance · Aug 20, 2007, 13:51:40

Ok then, but don't forget to bring your main desktop machine!

Rik · Aug 20, 2007, 13:52:54

I'll pack everything.

Inactive · Aug 20, 2007, 14:04:10

Great news Lance, all comes to those that wait.

Keep us updated.

Lance · Aug 21, 2007, 08:44:31

It's great!!!

It looks stunningly beautiful, it is fast and so far it seems to be working really really well. I'm in love!

The only fault I can find so far is with HP not keeping their images up to date, leaving me with 32 updates to download and install!

Rik · Aug 21, 2007, 08:59:31

Now that's a feeling I know.

Manufacturers really should have a duty to supply the machine full patched. I'm glad you're in love.

Inactive · Aug 21, 2007, 10:06:17

Indeed, pity the poor souls on Dial Up, having to download that lot.

Glad you are in " love " Lance, it's sounding good.

He likes new laptops:

Rik · Aug 21, 2007, 12:59:31

Wicked, Jill. I can feel Lance wincing from here.

Lance · Aug 21, 2007, 13:09:20

Fortunately I don't have a dog!

J!ll · Aug 21, 2007, 13:44:34

Rik · Aug 21, 2007, 13:51:48

C-ute.
