hello, sorry i am new to this (im sure you get to read this one a lot)...this seems like a good deal, i tried to order this laptop through Staples.com, but i cant figure out how to apply my student ID discount, do i register my ID with them? or does this only work for instore purchases?...thank you

lindyn said:   I am trying to figure out how the price arrives at $399.99. Do I have this correct: $599.99 before rebates less $100.00 off Lenovo coupon less $100.00 with student ID (my wife is) = $399.99?

If that is true, then is the $5 of $50 B&M coupon also stackable, making this actually $394.99??

It will be $494.99 acs plus tax, then you submit for the $100 Visa Rebate w/student ID.

This deal isn't going to fly. Did you read the terms of both promotions? I did. One says you need the Staples.com original packing slip, the other says you need the original rebate form spit out at the register from an in store purchase.

^^^ what do you mean how did I purchase? Did you even read the thing you cut and pasted? Anyway, there is a 5 page thread on SD confirming exactly what I said. This deal isn't going to fly. At best, you can try some Kiosk tricks, but that won't work either in my experience.

Cannot apply the $5 coupon in conjunction with the $100 instant savings... I already tried but $5 isn't gonna break my bank so it's ok.

It says up to 3 rebates per student

I actually suggested this laptop on SD yesterday when an OP over there posted the $100 coupon.

There are 2 different MIRs for student IDs- one for Staples.com, one for B&M. OP here is NOT saying to double-dip the rebate, rather to use the $100 *coupon* Staples sent out on Lenovos. You cannot double-dip that rebate.

If you could double dip the rebate it would be $299 AR, but as you said, that would not fly- and OP stated a $399 AR price- so only 1 Student MIR.

I think this is a decent deal, but honestly I'm looking for something with dedicated graphics and I realize I probably can't find something decent for $400, but I'd rather drop another $100 and be happy. I'm not saying the HD4000 (or HD3000- Staples.com says HD3000 even though this is an i5 Gen3) is bad, but I'd like to do some light gaming on it.

Got off of chat with Staples. They told me only one per student. Anyone else hear differently?

I called in and that's the same thing they told me even though it seems like the wording of the rebate indicates up to three per student.

Moreover, what would your opinion be for this laptop deal at $399, versus the other HP with AMD A6-4400M deal for $349? Which is probably a better value? Sorry if question sounds dumb but just trying to weigh the options.

The other deal thread:
http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/1208698/

My bad. You are right. Green for OP! I had ordered the HP with the AMD chip for $50 less, but this seems like a no-brainer for the I-5, 4 extra GB memory, and other upgrades for only $50 more

Does it require .edu email ID?

Just got one at the store (Macon, GA). Both $100 coupon and $5 coupon worked. Activated $100 Visa Card rebate (showed student ID at store and used easy rebate online) and Windows 8 upgrade rebate. Prices in OP are accurate. Green for OP.

i didn't try the $5 since it was explicitly not stackable and I did not want to risk my goodwill for $5, but they scanned the $100 and gave me a rebate form for the studentid rebate.

this ended up being quite a sweet deal. I really like this lappy. After I uninstalled all the bloatware, thing is really fast. Next task is to put a 7200RPM drive in place of the 5400 drive in it now.

Coupon has expired-deal does not exist.
