So the box arrived today and I began the tedious job of backing up all of my data and considering I have about 500gb on this machine, that is going to take a significant amount of time. Luckily I have a drive that is just big enough at 500gb, a notebook drive in a USB case. The only problem is its going to take 48 hours to copy all of the data at Sata speed or so Windows thinks. So, I swap the drive with an E-Sata case and plug it in that way which reduces the tranfer time to a few hours.
I now turn my focus to the box that has arrived and open it. Inside are two pieces of foam that fold to hold the notebook in place. I fold them and get everything ready to send to HP. As I am watching the backup, I get as telephone call from HP Research's Lloyd Hamilton who wants me to send the Notebook to his team and in return he will send me a brand new notebook. Not the same model, rather the new one will have a faster processor and a bigger hard drive and that I should ship my unit back in the box this unit comes in.
