$200 off any ASUS notebook!

I joined just to share this with you guys, since this forum has been so helpful in determining which laptop to buy.

Using Live.com search through ebay.com ((all over fatwallet, slickdeals, and other deal sites) , I was able to save $200 on a new N80VN. Excalibur PC has an ebay store, so you still get the great warranty and service.

Check out this link for step by step instructions on how to save $200.

edit: apparently I can't post URLs until I have 15 posts... just go to fatwallet and search for Live.com

My total for ASUS N80Vn-GP011C 14.1" 2.4GHz/4GB/320GB/DVD±RW Laptop was $1,159 - $200 = $959.

I will write up a review with benchmarks once I receive the laptop.

 

Wow. Yeah I finally took the plunge. That is an awesome deal. Will take some times for the 200 rebate but this laptop has everything which is awesome.

 

I don't know if I'm blind or anything, but I can't find the place to save $200 off the laptop . I'm deciding between the new 2.4ghz macbook and this model and price wise this thing smokes it so I'm thinking about jumping on it. Thanks for the help in advance!

 

Great deal for a notebook like this. Please allow 3-5 business days for delivery.

 

Any idea if this stacks with the $150 mail in rebate for the F8VA?

 

Awww.. no M50Vm-A1 in the store

 

To get the $200 discount read the slickdeals thread:
http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=0&t=952519

If you are too lazy here is a quick recap (I suggest reading the slickdeals as they provide pictures of how everything should look like)
-Go to Live.com (I would suggest setting up your windows live ID right now but I think you can do it later at the end)
-Type in ASUS Laptops
-You will see a top sign with 25% Cashback on ebay
-Click on that and you will be redirected to ebay (There will ALWAYS be a 25% cashback sign on top of the ebay page. If ther isn't you are not getting the cashback)
-You can search for anything and buy anything on ebay to get 25% as long as it is Buy it now (max cashback $200)
-Click buy it now and there will be a summary page with the cashback amount stated clearly (if you don't get that page you are not getting the cashback)
-Go through the buying process and you must pay with PayPal
-After you are done buying wait a few minutes and check your ebay message inbox. There will be a cashback message from ebay.
-Click on it and you will be redirected to the live.com website where you can sign into your account.
-Once that is done wait. There would be no update on the live cashback page. They say it usually takes 24 hours (I'm still waiting for mine).
-Once that is updated you have to wait for 60 days before you can transfer the cashback into you paypal account.

That's it I guess. An amazing deal but the 2 months wait time is how the cashback usually works.

=)

Enjoy.

 

Thanks for posting the URL

I would think any mail-in-rebates would still apply, since this is cash back directly from Microsoft and has nothing to do with ASUS, but remember to buy from an authorized reseller. Since Excaliber PC has an ebay store go check out their inventory

stores dot ebay dot com slash EXPCeStore
(still can't post URLs.. )

 

Snapple37 / ExcaliberPC,
I''m thinking to get a 14" laptop for my wife. This one looks very good.
Do you know if the Card reader can read an SDHC card bigger than 4GB?

Also can we upgrade the DVD to BluRay?

Thanks,

 

If the card reader supports SDHC, I don't see why it should be limited to 4GB.

Even my 2+year old V6J's card reader reads 8GB cards just fine (as long as you know what driver to use... the default one does not support SDHC).

I guess you can also upgrade to BluRay, but wait for a confirmation on that, I am not sure.

 

The card reader can read SDHC cards. As for Blu-Ray, we will have to check w/ ASUS to see if they plan to release N80 with Blu-Ray. In general, ASUS does not like to include Blu-Ray option with 14.1" and smaller.

 

The 1280x800 resolution screen can't handle 1080p material anyway, unless you were planning on using it as a player for your TV through HDMI. Might be cheaper and better to just get a home Blu-ray player for that purpose though.

 

Guys.... this will surely be a dream come true for many (certainly for me )
GenTechPC now has an eBay Store!
Check it out~
http://stores.ebay.com/gentechpc

 

I got excited for a second... then found out they didn't have the ASUS laptop listed I have been looking at. If they started carrying MSI i'd be sold, on the spot! Now if only XoticPC or PowerNotebooks would follow suit..

 

Blu-ray on a 1280x800 res lcd? Why?

 

Is this available to Canadian residents?

 

I don't think so..... the live.com offer only for the US

 

Only on selected models and not $200.00

http://ca.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=0&l2=0&l3=0&modelmenu=0&share=txt/60

 

For the life of me I cannot get the banner to appear, is it currently not being offered or am I doing something wrong? I've followed all the directions...

 

It's still working for me. I went to live.com and typed in "ASUS laptops"
Remember the 's' at the end of the laptop or else it won't come up.

 

Try different searches. I usually type in "cheap wii".

And the cashback amount isn't always 25%. It can change.

 

Bump for other people to save money.

 

I got 200 off an Asus N80vn, and $60 off an Olympus digicam, simply by searching through the live.com. Sometimes you have to simplify your search term to get the cashback banner ad to show. Also, to be clear for people having trouble, start the search at live.com and then the sponsored link with the 25% off graphic will take you to ebay, where there should be a small graphic at the very top of the ebay page displaying the live.com cashback discount percent. From there, you can search for and buy anything with "Buy It Now" and paypal. I've heard you can use this up to 12 times.

 

I think now I know the problem,

use Internet Explorer instead of other browsers (mine is Firefox) before you type live.com.

I tried to search the same thing using Firefox and it never showed the ebay deals with cashback.
Once I changed into IE, the ebay link shows up.

Hope this helps,

 

Actually, I'm a Firefox user and didn't have a problem getting the Live.com cashback to show up. Just my $.02. If anything, it might be an issue of cookies and pop-up blocking that prevents it in Firefox for some people, because of various add-on's/extensions.

 

I use firefox 3 and it works fine with me. Maybe it's something to do with your browser settings?

 

Try clearing your cookies and cache, I also used Firefox successfully.

 

Also if you're using NoScript or CookieSafe, make sure to Allow the website from either extension (or both if you're using both).

 

I got $104 off a $454 (including CA sales tax) Asus 1000HA through this deal.
Thats $350.00 including shipping and tax for an Asus 1000HA.. pretty amazing..

 

Also if you use AdBlock, disable that too.

 

Well,

I didn't change any setting at my Firefox and yesterday when I tried it again, somehow it shows the ebay cashback again.
Thanks anyway for the advices.

So, no review for the Asus N80Nv yet?

I was wondering how long the battery will last using the dedicated graphic card.

Cheers,

 

There is a mini review already in the ASUS review section. However, I believe he hasn't gotten to the battery section yet.

ASUS N80Vn Review:

Thanks for the info!!!!

I was real close to getting an Alienware M17...but...

I signed up for a live account, and went to Ebay. To my surprise, PayPal gave me an additional $100 off "coupon".

I just purchased the Asus g50VT-a1 from btotech (their Ebay store) for $1299 (including tax/shipping)!!! Incredible deal!!!!

Thanks everyone!!!!

 

I think I am going to keep my vaio Z, and sell N80Vn-GP011C.

I have not got it yet, but I i will receive it tomorrow.

Anybody wants to buy N80Vn-GP011C BRAND NEW UNOPENED from me please PM me.

 

Why not just return it?

 

I emailed excaliberPC three times they did not reply.

Ok

$1,169 - $200 = $969.

I want to sell this brand new unopened laptop which I havent even received for $1100(negotiable), I will take the 60 days risk, and the buyer will get it cheaper instantly. If anyone is interested, please let me know.

 

Which email did you send it to? and order #? I can ask a customer service specialist to contact you first thing tomorrow. Thanks!

 

If you decide to sell it, you'll need to comply with the BST rules, fill out the BST form and post your ad in the marketplace forum

 

I posted my ad there an hour ago and but was deleted because I don't have a picture for it (I have not got it yet!)

Hi, I just PM the order number to you. I sent the emails to sales, support, and paypal @excaliberpc.com

 

It's important for us to resolve this issue for you asap. We will communicate with you via PM. Thank you!

 

Gotta be smart.. the wordings can be tricky... UP TO $200 cashback and doesn't mean all items are included.

 

Yes. If you don't see your cashback amount before you pay on paypal or even before you commit to buy the item then the item is not qualified.

 

Man I love this forum. When I bought my old Dell I got a $200 off coupon for the Inspiron and now I get $200 off my new Asus. I just put in the order to BTO Tech and already got a call from their sales department. They have perfect feedback and seem like a great company. Free shipping and only $1399 for the G50vt-A1 after the cash back!

 

1399$ ? not bad a whole 155$ below our cost after credit and shipping expense. I dont know how this works but i hope people are getting their rebates. I tried doing it for a phone i purchased on ebay and it wouldnt work. couldnt figure it our so i gave up

 

Yeah basically you click the link and buy something and then you get a message in your Ebay message box that says you've received cash back. You can't get the $200 for 60 days because they want to make sure you don't buy stuff and then return it and pocket the $200. Still, I got the email from Microsoft and Ebay so I'm thinking I should get the $200 in 60 days. They just deposit it straight into your paypal when the time comes.

 

i really dont get what possible reason does microsoft have to do this? So we all know they are trying to buy a search engine and are scared google may one day compete with their operating system. This is not a means to do so. This promo has been going on for many months now. I just dont get it. I am not complaining. I know we have alot of customers who took them up on this promo.

 

Does anyone see the cashback banner today? I saw the banner a couple of days ago, but today I tried so many keywords and none of them made it.
Should I try with a different IP or computer?

 

did it really end?!!? i was about to put my order in today

 

It's still up. I just checked.

 

Could you let me know what keywords you tried? Thanks!
