And when you buy a pc, there is a $60 rebate on an HP wireless printer. There is 2 models featured in the ad, the c4780 photosmart, $104.xx OTD and another... And a $50 trade in (any old, printer) on certain HP Pro printers, if wireless also the $60 applies.

I did last time, but your mgr may say that the printer is already discounted by $50 if you turn in an old printer. Coupons dont apply to the lappy either.
i was just going to do it on the laptop as Ive no need for a printer. I was just reading a few coupons and it looks like they dont work on laptops so no dice. If you have a giant eagle near you you can go and buy a gift card there and get fuel perks which amount to a 12% discount. Ill do that to hooe it up a bit more.

If buying in the store... Take a printout of the item with tomorrows price for a zip with the lower prices..(the item page) Ask the manager for that item....
Also while in the store look at the item at the instore kiosk pc, for price. If the lower, order and pay in store.
I bought it last time they had it on sale, same price but Compaq (HP) gave $30 additional rebate. I've had it maybe 6 weeks. It's a good machine; however, I find the wireless weak using my wireless router. Often I get screens saying that the server can't be found. I have to reload the page once or twice, and then it works. I've hard wired it, and it's perfect. I even bought a USB wireless receiver which helps a bit instead of using the computer's built in wireless receiver. Using that, I find it's a bit better than the reception without it, but definitely not as good as having the machine hard wired. I have a Dell for my wife (The Compaq replaced the Dell) sitting next to the Compaq, and its wireless is much better - perfect, in fact. I posted this critique before, and someone disagreed with me as they've had no problem, but I felt that since Staples has a 2 week return policy, you might want to test this out carefully so that you are aware. I've even changed from a wireless B router to a wireless G, and the reception is still fair. For the price, you can't beat it. Lucky for me I had an ethernet wire installed in the walls from my office to my kitchen before wireless routers were available, so the wire is already available to me. Of course it's nicer not having to see a wire sticking out of the wall on the breakfast bar, but since the reception is so much better with it, my wife will have to deal with another wire hanging around. Would I buy the machine if I was only able to use it wirelessly? Probably. It only means hitting the reload button once or twice every few minutes. As I said, you have 2 weeks to decide to keep it, and for the price, it can't be beat.

So, the built in wirless is very weak is all I'd say and yes I too got this for $320 AR.

I am thinking if I should buy one more. I got one last time. The deal is exactly same as the one three week ago. FAR HP printer, Norton, plus you can one more HP printer FAR. I need a new address for my rebate if I jump on. I prefer a webcam.

All HP and Compaq rebates had no limit. Norton, did it?
caltrain said: does $25/100 or $30/150 coupon work on this item?
The coupons exclude pc's. You should have no trouble using if the printers meet the dollar threshold. The type coupon may be closely scrutinized by the cashier/manager. If actual coupon and not from a pdf printing, no problem at all... I have found that even if it stated online/phone orders, the store will still take it, never been turned down if a real coupon. 1 store will not take the pdf type anymore.
How can you get 2 free printers? We bought this laptop and the HP D4360 printer , but what's the second printer to get, or even the $60 off HP Wireless printer?

Links to deals/rebates? Thanks.
I also do not see how the person who posted 2 free printers did it. He may mean using a $30 coupon and trade in on a wireless printer which would be nearly free if you look at it that way. I look at it as a discount on the pc.

No fetching coffee = deal killer.
You are smart and, I bet you want the value for money. But in this part of world known as US of A, most of the laptops have webcam, so asking for one with webcam wasn't like being ridiculously overoptimistic. I wouldn't buy a laptop without webcam either. Ah ha. We got ourselves a racist red neck I see.
BTW. I live in the same US of A you mention and I am a citizen of the same US of A and have the same rights as you barring 1. The 1 right I am missing is worthless for you based on your comments as you cannot use it with the utter brilliance you have shown.
What is the 1 Right to run for the Presidnt of the US of A which only the ones that are born here have.
