    The HP coupon code already seems to be invalid, as it would not work on a $1500+ dv9700z......

    FYI- The $500 HP coupon works on the dv2700t, dv2700t Broadband, dv2700t Special Edition (Verve) and the dv6700t Special Edition (Influx). As with the others, you have to configure to $1400 or more (ignore the instant discount of $100-$150, the $500 will supercede it).

    Awesome deal! I'm trying to decide between the two Special Editions...
