I think somebody said that they don't allow that combination of discounts.
-
-
Well that sucks. Either 8% off asap or 15% off cash back. hmmm....
-
It worked last year, so do not go on what other people say as they may not be aware of the change.
I believe a couple poeple tried to use EPP or the academic discount with the 25% on the 18th. We won't know for 60 days if they are enforcing the no combination of discounts. -
So I'm far from the first person to think of this...lol!
Edit: Ah, now I see it.
-
So in the end, what did I gain? If you search my last few posts in this thread, you can find the discussion we had on this several pages back. I just didn't want to get headache (and glasses) so had to move to the external monitor. But with 120dpi in Vista, it's quite usable but the effective resolution is just 1536x960.
-
Read on the big FAQ that they dont allow it. Some did it and if bing doesn't catch it they win. If bing catches it then he might get no discount at all.
-
The coupon/EPP/AD discount he'll get for sure, Bing probably not.

1) Go to bing.com
2) Click on Shopping link
3) Type in HP Envy 15
4) Click on HP Direct (NOT HP Shopping)
Currently offer 10% cashback. -

If the cashback was still at 25% I would cancel my sxps 1340 order and pick up the envy 13
-
Ditto what peppe1 said...used to work (did for me last month) but they changed their policy. Some people still insist it will work but I wouldn't trust that. -
You can also google "HP EPP COMPANY CODE" there are a few out there. But they all seems or at least most around 8% discount on the Envy 15 though.
-
-
My wife's friend works for HP so I'm trying to see if they can get me a better discount.

Bottom: http://www.engadget.com/photos/envy-13-and-15-hands-on-1/2283510/
Heat is not great for most electronics/batteries, so it may affect the life of the slice. The slice looks to use a metal case, so it might have been designed to absorb and dissipate the heat. -
This is really discouraging as i was all set to buy this thing. It has everything i want in a laptop... except for the ability to not set my house on fire.
Looking forward to more reviews on this thing. Until then the upcoming Lenovo Y550 is looking pretty snazzy (but doesn't have a 1080p screen)!
-
segail11, did you get a slice with your Envy? If so, can you address any of kevroc's questions (I echo his questions as well). Thanks! -

My order now says
HP ENVY 15 customizable Notebook PC Item cancelled
It feels good
I think I'll get a Sony SR. Half the graphics performance but in a 13.3" laptop that even has a DVD drive and costs $1100 -
So, wait... do the fans behind the bottom vents expel or intake air...?
-
Normally systems intake from the bottom and expel to the sides or back. Although shooting air from the bottom would be cool. Maybe we could make it levitate.
-
Well HP has officially screwed me out of my $90 BCB on my 3 year warranty. I am on the phone with them right now. I said that if they don't match the 25% discount for their blunder I will cancel my entire order. I am not happy.
-
Well everyone the shipments are showing now, and it does not look like we will get it by tomorrow. Still in China... *sigh* Fed Ex received the packages after the cut-off.
-
Since we all have been speculating whether this thing has an e2e screen, I just wanted to point out on this model that was given to engadget : http://www.engadget.com/photos/envy-13-and-15-hands-on-1/2283517/
http://www.engadget.com/photos/envy-13-and-15-hands-on-1/2283533/ doesn't have one.... and this reiview has been up over a month!!!! I'm suprised I didn't notice sooner. I know these are pre production models but I just wanted to point that out, since hp has been giving everybody a rollercoaster ride of what to expect with the envy. -
Hey, my tracking number is now in the system. Item in transit, picked up from Shanghai CN Oct. 30 12:29 am. No expected delivery time given yet.
-
OK I just got off the phone with HP. I had to get a bit ill with the rep but in the end they gave me a 25% discount on the warranty. The rep said my notebook should be shipping on the 30th or 31st. What a mess. This has taken about 4 hours of my time to get resolved.
continued from this:
-
Fedex does deliver on Sat.
Also iT, I don't think they would care, last time I called and said to them that if they won't send me the laptop because my billing and shipping is not the same then i'll never buy from them again, and the rep just said to me. Okay then Bye bye. -
nice you got it resolved, i just got yelled at.
-
that's great news for some of you. i still have no tracking number and will be calling HP later today to let them know how I feel about the situation. people that ordered a full day later with more ram and other customizations have their tracking numbers already.
-
The unfortunate thing is that we have 2 business day delivery. -
At first I could believe your observations. That its hotter than its suppose to be, but when i read your complaints about the noise from the fan when playing, you lost all your credibility. Any laptop would either make a lot noise or shut down.
So my conclusion is clearly that your expectations for this laptop were unrealsticly high.
Its like buying a fast car, and then complain about the gas consumption. -
-
If the cooling pad blows air up and the exhaust is coming out of the bottom then you are negating most of the air flow through the notebook. It is almost like covering 80 of the vents with a blanket. Did you consider that?

The intake vents on the Envy are in front of the laptop.
Underneath and on the sides are exhausts IIRC.
I updated the front post.
Keep me posted -
Oh there we go. so cooling pads that blow air onto the bottom of the laptop = fail.

Not sure if these fan pull air towards or away from the laptop or if they can be switched accordingly, but I saw this in person at BB and it looked ok and felt pretty good.

We need to get 'Soviet Sunrise' to take a look at cooling mods for the Envy 15, Clevo M570TU Cooling Overhaul:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=416414
I was think of making a little copper cooling stand to try and dissipate the heat through the base, but this guy modded a ton inside as well... -

Dont hate me, but this gave me a good laugh.
Here is your USB 3.0 http://www.electronista.com/articles/09/10/29/new.asus.usb.30.mainboards.have.record.speeds/ -
-
Anybody getting the Razer Orochi for their Envy or used it before? I'm planning on getting it to save a USB slot and to take advantage of the BT in the laptop, but wanted people's input first...
-
it is supposedly faster than esata (i want it so bad, but lets be real by the time that is fully implemented, we will have Sandy Bridge!!!)
