Is this the sale price after rebate? Compaq has been having a lot of $30 mail in rebates on a lot of their laptops. Also, will there be a FAR printer offered in this promotion. Sounds like a really good price based upon the specs. Have not seen an under $400 laptop offered for a few weeks now.

most will be already "geek optimized" for $129 UPGRADE

I think the HSI coupon is for signing a High Speed Internet contract at BB when purchasing the laptop.

Your store of choice optimizes most of their computers? And they charge $129 for it? Too bad, this is not typical behavior for the stores I frequent.

Got the CQ50-115NR this week. Associate said all of her in-stock machines for this model had been 'optimized'. I told her 'no thanks' to the added programs [TrendMicro AV and WebRoot SpySweeper]. Software stayed on machine, but she had manager provide credit which brought total back to sale price.

I can guarantee that if you buy this week for PM next week that it will never be "optimized."

Is anyone getting their orders canceled? Mine was canceled an hour after I placed it.

Worstbuy doesn't do rebates - should not be an issue.
