    I noticed those the other day while on the hp site. Are coupons on the business models rare?

    Not sure, but you can configure a top of the line 8510P with a 3 Year Accidental Damage Protection Plan for about $1800 including tax and shipping in the US with the above coupon.

    They are very rare. They usually just have deals but not coupons

    Thanks to the OP .

    However doesn't it mean we will see some newer models and/or a price drop soon after ?

    Also aren't the CTO base prices higher to start with ?

    For example take the HP 8510w KA461UT#ABA 1699$ ( I think its the best value for money ) , I configured the same system on HP site and got 2,436$ - 24% = 1851$ .

    Thats 150$ "saving" but wait , if you go online you'll find the same system for only 1,519$ , you do the math .
