The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved.

    It's not for everyone apparently. Tried to purchase a HTPC case ($149.99), and I received this error:

    " Although you've entered a valid promo code 20FORFB, your order does not currently meet the code's usage criteria."

    Id assume 20forFB means facebook. Maybe they have a way to know if you joined there facebook page?

    The code could have simply reached its max number of uses as well. I could have used this 2 weeks ago when I got my cpu & mobo for my desktop upgrade.

    Yep, it was a Facebook promo:

    "Here's a little thank you for 600,000 likes! Use code "20FORFB" at checkout and get $20 off of $100 on almost everything."

    According to the comments one person called Newegg when they were unable to use it was told the code was valid for 5 uses only...

    Weird. I must have been one of the lucky 5, LOL! I saw it posted on Slickdeals and Dealnews so I know there are others who used the code. I got a WD 1tb laptop drive with the code so I know it worked for me. Drive arrives tomorrow. Oh well, thought it was something folks here could take advantage of but maybe the deal expired or something...

    Edit: yea so I tried the code and it says invalid.
