    I love how HP lied about the base price. It's $1099 and not $999. Well, it's $989 with academic discount.

    I suggest you put that pipe down and look around a little bit, other people are able to see it as well.

    But I can understand how you wouldn't be able to see, because if you just go straight to their ENVY webpage then it still isn't listed for some stupid reason.

    I was able to find it and customize it while logged into my student account, but when I try to add it to cart, HP says they no longer have the system I'm trying to customize.

    Pretty much. I'll skip the slice, maybe they'll come on sale at some point, or BCB will go up to 25% before July 30th and I'll buy the slice separately.

    I can vouch for both being able to see it and not see it.

    From a London Proxy logged into academic shopping page I see it.

    From a California Proxy logged into company EPP page I do not see it.

    And no I don't plan on testing every variation, but figured while I was on both proxy servers, I'd give this a shot.

    If you are -really- desparate, you can use regional web proxy servers, but I'd just suggest you wait until it localizes.

    Yes, it is a bit more than I expected. With EPP discount it barely brings it down to what we expected for MSRP....

    Hopefully HP will have some kind of coupon out by tomorrow or Monday

    for those who cant see, you guys need to signup/login into epp/student accounts and then search for the envy 14. The e14 isn't on the main laptop page. You need to go to the upper right hand corner search bar and enter envy 14. Then it leads you to the new HP laptops page and there you should be able to see the buy now button. click it and there ya go.

    Please choose another customizable PC or one of our ready-to-ship PCs, or choose another server. You can also call our Sales Center at 1 (800) 351-9687.

    Went up to the last part, but clicking on buy now just takes me to the main page where I can choose by category, screen size, etc.

    I think most of us are going with the i5-520M. It'll just be better for gaming and any CPU intensive apps. The turbo boost up to 2.93GHz will help in almost anything CPU-bound.

    I think 450M has faster DMI (4.8 GT/s) and same stock clock speed. Between 430M and 520M the difference wasn't that great unless you are running comm. suite (see my separate thread for this).
