Now theres this coupon code out, its in the Laptop Deals tab and it says you get $150 off any laptop u buy thats over $999.00 so where do i use this coupon? And will i get it for $700 then if i use it? Thanks!!!

    you have to make the $850 over the price. It includes those rebates. It doesn't work on the HDX's though :(

    Sorry,

    The price that's in the bold lettering while you're building the laptop is the one that must be over $999. You'll get a $1150 machine, use the rebate they give to everybody and the price will drop to $1000, then at checkout you'll put in the code and it'll go down to $850

    You're not able to get the price down to $700, you'll just get a bette rlaptop for the price

    Sorry I was confusing before

    The price in the bold when i was building it was $999.98 and it said anything u buy over $999.00 u get $150 off if u use that coupon. But when i went to checkout it automatically went to $850 with instant rebate without me putting in the code, so im assuming u can add the coupon on then to make it $700 cant you?

    No, I'm sorry your instant rebate works funky compared to what I know. Including the instant rebate the unit must cost over $999. Then you will enter your coupon number and the price will go back down to $850, but you'll have better components.

    it is a nice mainstream laptop. However everyone has their take on the looks.

    Just go with your instincts and if you feel the laptop covers your requirements, go with it.

    I have heard bad things about build quality and longevity.

    And even worse stories about HP repair policy. Some guy even got half his components downgraded after he got it back.
