V3000Z for $399!

This amazed me so I thought I would pass the word along:
HP has a $180 instant savings right now on the V3000Z. With the $100 mail-in rebate, you can get a laptop with the lowest configuration for only $399!!

And just to get everybody going...
Does anybody think that the price will drop even more after Christmas (just before Vista comes out)? That would be one really cool deal!

 

That's an amazing deal, thanks for the heads up, here's a link for those who want to check it out. Click customize button to see the price.

 

That's a pretty decent deal, but here's a deal that may be even better if you can still find one. ($500 after a mail in 100 rebate, normal price on machine being $975)... I got one for $511 shipped.. sent in rebate and have already gotten the rebate back!

Unit will take 4gig of ram... more importantly a single 512 dimm is installed..

Hard drive is 60 gig, vs 40

GPU is slightly faster than the 6150

Has a DVD dual layer burner.. and has several features not found in the consumer machines (see bold print)

PS: The above is a "business machine", so if you need service you should get "business class" service... meaning you're not going to get those lovely delays, and the run around that you might get on a consumer grade model.

 

well! you did bought one .what do you think about your new lappy? are you sastified with that one?

 

Yep, for the money happy with it. Very well built machine (I had a HP dv8000t)...

Machine is solid/stable and for the price a good deal and has features for me that were more important than a shiny case.

(See above post and links for why you might want to buy a "business class" machine, over a "consumer" model)

nx6325 also has a fast charge battery, and has a (real) docking port (on the bottom of the machine).

Where'd you buy it from, WeAreNotAlone?
