Special Printer Offer HP All-in-One

For $735.56

The only reason im going for the free printer is because with that mailin rebate it actually came out to -8.01 dollars. So My total discounts on this lappy were the 100.00 mail in, 150.00 instant, the APP discount, and the 8.01 from the printer rebate.

Just FYI, the printer that comes for free is pretty bad, alot of people on this site have said that its ink usage is bad compared to the model ahead of it.

Yea I know, but I'll save 8 more dollars lol. Im all about saving money because college eats 99% of it.

I registered at the APP website.
Do they give discounts on nx9430 notebooks ? I could only see the green apple on home computers.

No, the APP price is only valid for home/consumer systems.

Does anyone have a spare 10% off coupon from surveys? I'd be willing to pay for it.

Thanks so much for posting the info about the academic discount and coupons! I was about to buy a HP Pavilion zx5000 yesterday but decided to look on the net one more time for info about it. I found this forum and saved over $200 by using both the discount and a coupon. FYI, I asked the second salesperson at HP to whom I spoke why the first salesperson hadn't mentioned an academic discount to me even though I told him I teach in a university and would be using the notebook in the classroom. He hemmed and hawed - never could give me a credible answer. So it's thanks to you guys that I found it and saved the $$.

Coupon from where. I just ordered a dv6000. Do I save on this purchase.

Hmmm, I wish I saw this thread sooner

I ordered a Compaq V2000 yesterday evening. The man on the phone who I spoke with didn't mention anything about student pricing - even though I told him that I was a student and wanted to know if they offered any special pricing plans for students

I wonder if they will refund me the difference?

I called in yesterday about my order and the APP that I just heard about from this thread and they said once my order ships they would credit me the difference.

Yes, I as well am curious to know how big of a price difference an educational discount gives you, and how the process works. Does anyone know how much a Compaq V5000Z series notebook with:
AMD Turion ML-40
128mb ATI Radeon Xpress 200m
1x1024mb memory
80GB 5400 RPM HD
Bluetooth card
and 2 12-cell batteries would cost? (configured w/out discount as of 2/20/2006 as $1,126.99 [after $150 instant savings and $50 mail-in rebate])

Also, it says on the discount site that the educational discount only works for post-k12 educational institutions. Yet, when I went through the registration process, it showed my k12 high school as an option. It goes on to say something to the effect of "if hp finds your registration to be fraudulent, you have authorized us to charge you the difference in purchase price." Now, wouldn't you agree that I should just go for it, if that's all they are going to do? It says nothing about a surcharge or "we'll see you in court" type of thing, so I have nothing to lose, right? If I get away with the discount then that's great, and if they review my purchase and find out I'm just a highschooler, I am no worse off than if I hadn't even used the discount period. Right?

BTW, great site/forums, lots of info here. Sorry for such a lengthy post...
