    Just go through an order and it will tell you the discounts before you buy.
    I didn't think it was the good of a deal. I was able to buy a dm4t cheaper using a $300 coupon then I would have using the discount.

    I'm in highschool, so I need my dad to sign up, him being an Alumus.

    It would be nice to know before hand how much I save, though.

    The base price is 1027.99 - $150 instant rebate - $61.68 discount = $816.13. I would definitely recommend spending $20 to upgrade to the N930, it is significantly better than the P920

    You could always save money by foregoing Office and Norton. OpenOffice is a great, free productivity suite that has pretty much everything Home and Student has and there are great free alternatives to Norton, like MSE and Avast.

    I got my DV4i through the HP Academy and saved $150 there and found a $200 stackable coupon through Retailmenot.com that got me a deal I could not pass up! All you need to know your schools 4 or 5 digit id code# to register for that deal. I did some custom stuff (CPU and RAM) and still got it in about a week! Very quick!

    HP Student discount is Available to Highschool Students. Got to HP Academy and click on Sign up and follow the directions...

    The discount will range from 5% (on really basic PCs) all the way up to 15% off. Also check the HP Academy sites banners for Stackable Coupons... The site is updated weekly with special deals and sometimes coupons...

    Keep in mind most of those $300 off coupons you see on the web don't combine with instant rebates... so if a PC has a $150 instant rebate than the coupon is really only worth $150... If you are buying a nice PC a lot of time that HP Academy Student Discount will save you more even without a coupon...

    It's pretty much 10% off across the board.

    Does that still work? I'm not sure how Retailmenot.com takes a school id code#. Or are you talking about the HP website needing the id code?
