    I am working out this notebook which looks pretty decent to me...
    Some of the specs...

    - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor P8400 (2.26 GHz)
    - 15.4" diagonal WSXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1680 x 1050)
    - FREE Upgrade to 4GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    - 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
    FREE Upgrade to 250GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
    - Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card

    With HP instant rebate it stands at $1,099.99 (excluding tax)
    On top of that is the cashback from live.com it comes to $820+

    Worth it?

    Where are you seeing 25% cash back. I'm only seeing 5% right now.
    BTW - That's a great deal. I don't think you'll find a cheaper notebook with a discrete graphics card like that.

    I've been looking to get one myself. How did you get 25%??? Thanks.

    If you applied a different deal than the LIVE.com discount, you would be replacing the LIVE discount. It would work with the instant $200 rebate, but if you applied any more coupons, Microsoft would cancel your %25.

    I only have the instant rebate of $150... the 25% is just too big to risk for a small coupon... anyone else got it?
