    For those that aren't aware the new dv6t Quad and dv7t Quad were just released by HP and are now available. They also issued three new coupons today, a couple of which work on these updates:

    • Use coupon code NBY3752 to get $400 off the purchase of any HP laptop priced $1,399 or more at HP.com (excludes ENVY 14 Spectre), coupon expires on 5/5/2012 or after 1000 uses, whichever comes first
    • Use coupon code NBT5352 at checkout to get 10% off the HP Pavilion dm1z or Folio 13 laptop,
      Coupon expires on 5/5/2012 or after 1,000 uses, whichever comes first
    • Use coupon code NBG5623 at checkout to get $30 off any HP laptop priced $499 or greater, stacks with $100 instant rebate
      Coupon expires on 5/5/2012 or after 50 uses, whichever comes first

    The best coupon to use is the NBY3752, for instance you can configure the dv6t Quad with the following specs for $1,034 after using the coupon:

    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Processor: 3rd generation Intel Core i7-3610QM Processor (2.3 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache)
    Graphics: NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 650M Graphics with 2GB GDDR5 memory UPGRADE
    Memory: FREE Upgrade to 8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    Storage: 750GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection UPGRADE
    Screen: 15.6-inch diagonal Full HD Anti-glare LED-backlit Display (1920 x 1080) UPGRADE
    Optical Drive: Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD burner

    Make sure it's configured for $1,399 or more, you have to do upgrades. Also, it doesn't combine with the Academic or EPP discount, if you're logged in and have those discounts associated then you have to checkout as guest otherwise it'll always say coupons don't apply.

    I just tried again, worked for me.

    $1000 for i7 + killer 650m.

    is that in line with price for 2nd gen i7 + 6770m ?

    looks like HP is going with nvidia this time around ?

    that 1080p lcd upgrade is super expensive, considering the price difference is only $25 at laptopscreens.com

    Yes, with varying degrees of savings of course, depending on the week!

    Correct, it is 6 - 7%. It's easy to qualify for, if you use this URL and then even if you're an alumnus, have a kid in any type of school or claim to be buying it for a student then you can use the discount. Often times the coupon discounts are better, but not always.

    Student discount does not work with the $400 coupon.

    Right, student discount does not work with any HP coupons. You have to logout and checkout as guest or with another account if your HP profile is associated to a student discount.

    good configure upgrades to reach $1399 seems to be:

    1080p seems a must, more RAM (if you need it), faster HDD, mSSD, GT 650M (1 or 2GB depending on if its a dv6 or dv7)

    I expect the coupons and price to start to go down in about a month from now, when the other manufacturers "DELL?" releases their IB/650M laptops and the 21-day return period expires for people who just bought their DV quad's.

    Is the performance of the mSSD any good? It would seem that simply bumping that up to 60+ gb to be a boot drive would be a lot more desirable than the 32 gb mSSD, but HP seems to be pricing the SDDs pretty agressively ($290 for 160gb upgrade from base harddrive, but I have no idea where they are sourcing them and it is pretty much a $2/gb price, somewhere around 50% to double what a lot of ssd's are going for these days).
