    You can actually get the dv7t Quad for $855 if you don't get the blu-ray and add just $100 in extras (as opposed to the $150 BD) and get %5 Bing cashback to boot. It worked for me at least.

    However this is my first time getting BCB to work, pretty cool though! Only bad side is I have to wait till the 22nd for the ship.. :(

    I tried using this coupon and I guess I was too late, it says it's invalid. Does anyone know how often these codes come out? I'm holding out on buying a dv7 or dv6 so I can get the extra $300 off.

    They come out at least once a week, so don't sweat it if you missed out. It's usually only for the first 1800 purchases or so.

    Did you (or anyone else for that matter) get Bing cashback with HP AND use one of the coupon codes online? I was turned down.

    Bing does not work with coupons. It's stated in the terms for Bing and HP.

    It used to work, but they removed that loophole.
