    Nice. I'm getting mine sometime next week. When is yours estimated to be delivered? I'm guessing you just ordered it today? Not a bad price at all. I'm glad you went with the high capacity 6-cell. I wish I did that, but I went with the 12-cell which is no big deal.

    Yeah thats a retarded price you got there.

    I made them double the $100 off instant rebate...so I got $200 off.

    They guy was pretty cool even though he was pushing real hard for me to get the webcam...........i have no use for it

    What? 600 bucks for dv6700t special edition? How did u get this price? And as far as I know, there is no 7200rpm hard disk on offer for the dv6700t.

    No the hard drive my friend gave me. And the penryn I got for free, when I bought my laptop I paid 300.00 extra for the T7500, now that the penryn came out the T7500 went down to 200.00 and the penryn is now 300.00 and being that I was within my 21 day they're sending me one with the penryn.

    The reason I got it so cheap is they really messed me up with my laptop. I've gone through like 4 laptop in the past month. so I kept on getting discounts. And here I am

    How did you make them double the $100 rebate? I couldn't do that. Can you shed some light on that please?

    Well the quick story.....I ordered a HP Pavilion dv2700t Special Edition series and when i saw it in Best buy.......I though it was too small...so while it was still in the building process I called the cancel it. Well the dummies shipped it anyway.......so now I have to call them so they can pick it up for a return.

    Well the guy asked me why i canceled........I said I wanted a bigger screen. And asked me what I want. So I built one online quick and gave him a price and he told me if he doubled the rebate, would i purchase a new system.....I said sure. He let me go and called me back in about an hour and he hooked me up.

    My new order: Order in production
    (Estimated to ship on February 1, 2008)
