possibly title it should say buy laptop get 100 gift card its not directly 100 off
when i clicked on the the link, Amazon simply charges $100 for the giftcard and then subtract it at the checkout, which doesn't do anything (if my math is correct)... is that why people are giving it red?

How does it not do anything if you get to keep the giftcard

which means that you are getting the gift card for free.
wow and i was just writing in that macbook thread about how it might stop me from buying the ul80, and now this deal pops up. i like how it is valid through 12/18...might wait till black friday or later and hope the laptop drops in price some more!
Out of stock at Amazon. I took advantage of this deal and am typing this post on my new UL-80vt. The gift certificate was shipped in a seperate box. Also got the win7 upgrade disc for 50% off. Good deal.
Its a 1.3ghz ULV Core 2 Duo overclocked by Asus to 1.7. It's much faster than an Atom.
