nazanin19 said:It seems that 30% coupon can not be combined with 100$ instant rebate! When I applied the coupon it gives me this warning:
"We have compared the coupon submitted to the available instant savings and applied the best offer. Promotion rules allow only the coupon or instant savings to be applied to any item."
In addition, I have called AMEX buyers assurance and they confirm that paying with AMEX through paypal does still extend the warranty.

I also get the message that the coupon cannot be combined with instant savings. The m9000t desktop that I thought would cost $649 is now $823.

In for one, thanx OP

here they r... nicer (some as light as 2.8 pounds!) but pricer

I did not know about it either, thanx. But note that it says HP Compaq on the page, if that matters to anyone.

This for $700 a good deal?

I am in the same boat too. I called HP.com & they said that the coupon is valid only on built-to-order laptops , and the earliest that they ship the "built-to-order" machines is Dec/6th.

Is this your desktop replacement? 17" is gonna be really heavy 7-8LBs

That, and a school computer. I don't mind it being heavy so much; I'd rather have the larger screen

i want to pull the trigger on the dv 9500t. but not sure how good are HP. How would you compare HP laptops with Toshiba or sony laptops for the same specifications? Is HP the same quality? I want to buy one for long run and would like to make a good investment. Any help is appreciated.

Where do you put the 30% off coupon code of NB3075? I cannot find any place to put in this code in the HPShopping site.

After you add to cart and click checkout, it brings u to
Page 1: Payment options. Choose paypal, continue & log into Paypal.
Page 2: You will see the 20% promo mentioned somewhere in the middle of this page. After you agree to paypal terms & conditions & ur payment choices, it will bring you back to the HP site.
Page 3: Now, on the 2nd or 3rd section, u will see "Coupon Code: " & an Add button next to it. Add the NB3075 coupon here. It will recalculate and chuck the 100$ instant savings since that cant be combined w/ this. U will then have to continue w/ checkout.
Page 4: The next page will have all this info again, but w/ ur paypal payment info filled in at the bottom and the 30% coupon applied. In my case, wierdly, it went back to 100$ instant savings. I just clicked on Shipping at the top of the page (which took me back to Page 3), reapplied the coupon (didnt have to go to paypal page again) & was back on this page. On the bottom of this page, theres a "Confirm Order" button or something to that effect.
Page 5: Order Confirmation receipt.
