So...
I've been in the market for a new laptop. I want it for gaming, for school and for work. My buddy pointed me to the announcement yesterday of HP's new
HDX16 and HDX18 lappies. Not bad AT ALL. You can order the 16" online now, and get any at retail at the end of the month.
-HOWEVER-
There is a coupon code: NB0915
that gives you $500 off any CUSTOM BUILT Pavillion laptop.
So, I had decked mine out pretty well and it was $1909. I found the coupon code and tested it. It worked! I got greedy and went back and added more stuff (blu-ray, HDTV tuner, etc.), got to the cart, added the coupon. BAM! Coupon invalid! I was pissed! Went back, made it my old config and it accepted it again. Sooo... $1409 for the following:

The Blu-Ray I'm unsure about. I had checked it when I had "got greedy" and put it back to the normal one before the code worked. BUT... it is what my invoice I printed online says, AND what my email from HP says. So... we shall see!
