the problem with this thing is the super underpowered video card.

its not even a real geforce 440 its an nforce3 go intergrated apparently.




you can get an additional 9% off if you use the epp code on google too.

 

[Cybordolphin]

Man... its SO close. Why the heck didn't they toss in another 256mb ram!?

Still looks like a pretty hot deal.

 

[redass1876]

damn hot, AMD64 chips are expensive as hell for desktops, how much is one and a mobo that runs it for a laptop

Sorry for appearing so ignorant, but what's an epp code?

^ Same question ... would this code be the same as the academic discount that was offered a year ago?

search for "hp epp upgrade program" on google.


i think the code you find gives 7%. its through the hpshopping.com/epp website. its not the same as academic but its a similar program. like different codes give you different amounts of discount.


the code i got from my actual workplace gives 10% so, i guess you can ask your workplace too.

I think epp used to stand for "employee purchase program" at least in Dell speak it did. Large Dell customers could offer systems with discounts to their employees, howevere these were usually not on all systems, but on bundles. Better than normal pricing but not as good as what we are seeing here occasionally.

Now I do not know how the HP program is - may be better?

Sweet deal!

wit the hp program, depending on your company you get 7-10% off


the all the normal codes and rebates and such work still. it seems to work for anything at hpshopping.com

Well the cpu uses alot of power but the underpowered video card won't...I would guess good battery life.
