    Wow this is a pretty nice deal. 12 inch notebooks are pretty rare with netbooks anymore so this nice if someone is looking for something small but with more power. Good find!

    That seems like an instore issue but you can buy this online so there won't be such an issue.

    Probably true. The sales tax is probably the only 'flaw' I see otherwise in buying with Office depot.

    It's still a decent deal, and as always it comes down to ones personal preference and *wants and needs* ;)
    (It would be wonderful if we live in a world of non-taxable items, but that isnt going to happen)... :(

    Anyways, this is a nice size/nice price for HP...and decent for back-to-school!

    Go with NewEgg if you want this. No tax with them,cept for a few states.Shipping is only like $13 compared to $50 tax at OD. They deliver fast and I trust them more than OD.

    At least w/ the Office Depot deal, if you lived near one, you could go to the store...try it out and have it instantly without pesky shipping charges! :)
