Mine was supposed to be:

*Espresso Black
*Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
*Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor P7450 (2.13GHz)
I got just right on the "P" series for its 25watts power consumption.
*4GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm) from 2GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
*320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
*512MB NVIDIA GeForce G 105M
*13.3" diagonal WXGA High-Definition HP LED BrightView Infinity Widescreen Display..its small so I'd rather make it as beautiful as can be.
*LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
*[For BrightView Infinity Display] Webcam Only..because i don't want to pay $25 for fingerprint reader just for convenience on quite an easy task on writing username and password.
*Wireless-G Card with Bluetooth...got this one because it's not merely for convenience sake unlike fingerprint reader...IMO
*6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery...i always have with me the charger so no problem.

TOTAL = $1004.99 LESS 30% $704.99 after using the 30% coupon

Unfortunately, I was not happy with the shipping company that i contacted to. I canceled it after they told me that HP.com does not have a code bar wherein which to enter the coupon code (??).

They are to charge me as if no coupon can be use, offered me to buy on Bestbuy (laptop that cost $899). Later, I insisted that they enter it and purportedly called HP (at 11:30 close midnight) after less than 5 minutes they were told that the coupon cannot be used (even before it has expired and before 2,500 redeemers, cause if it had HP's website should have notes rejecting upon entering the coupon) instead HP customer service will give me a discount commemorating US Memorial Day on Saturday March 16, 2009(??). At first they gave me $822 telling me that they can now use the CODE (Have they just called HP and were told that it can no longer be used?) , including sales tax on New Jersey (for which they told me that New Jersey does not charge sales tax on them, yes quite inconsistent).

I asked the Shipping company what is the end price when using the code and told me that it is just $45 more than the price i told them which is $704.99 ,hence, $749.99 exempting me from sales tax. I canceled it because i don't want to believe them (the verified shipping co.'s agent). I don't know if they are telling me the truth but i just can't trust them after all their inconsistencies.

I wanted to know the base price because they are charging me 10% off the laptop payable price. not including another 10% on the agent i was talking to.

Nevertheless i'll wait for another coupon. I was planning to write a review for you guys but got *%*^. LOL
