    Hi!! I read somewhere that on Cyber Monday, online retailers offered huge offers- Does this apply to HP cutomizable laptops? Or if I see a good offer now, I should take advantage of it?


    Thanks in advance :D

    Ive seen that online retailers will generally make amazing offers when they are trying to clear stock of a certain type of laptop, depends what you want really, there is no perfect time as you cant predict the future. My vote goes to if you see something good, jump on it

    honestly, as with black friday, everything thats CRAP is discounted. it should be called the day of old stock being cleared out that no one bought because it sucked.

    there will be a good deal here and there but NOT likely on items that are in demand, why would a manufactorer discount things that SELL.

    right now there is a 30% coupon on HP laptops, i jumped on it and with 5% cashback its a great deal.

    the only things i will be looking out for on black friday sales and cyber monday is a mouse, and other small things for the laptop and w.e "good" that comes my way

    playing the waiting game will never get you what you wanted, one thing is out then the next, it will never end, so i just jumped on buying a lappy and called it a day

    Need an account with fatwallet. Its free, but you have to register there

    I'll get my 5% back in a couple days, so my laptop was really less than 900 dollars

    Awesome! So does it give you 5% cash back based on the final price after a 30% off coupon?

    I bought a dv5t using the 30% hp coupon w/ Live Cashback (the then offer was 20% back from hp when doing a Live search for 'buy hp laptop'), and it seems to have worked. I have $210 that's pending from that transaction.
