The first three Mail-In Rebates can be sent in the day of purchase, the sooner the better. As mentioned in previous posts,
you must have the combos (ie; AMD64 Chip, Compaq v2000z and HP 3847 Printer)on the same receipt!.
CLARIFICATIONS
1. Receipts must be dated by latest
08/20/05
2. You must go into Office Depot and with the help of a sales rep, customize your laptop via one of their kiosks.
3. Shipping cost is
$40, that includes both the printer and laptop.
4. Estimated shipping/customizing time on laptop is 9 business days. The printer ships faster. (
*Note - I finished order at OD on Tuesday. Yesterday I received tracking information for printer via FedEx... I assume FedEx will also ship laptop.)
5. BrightView, is a free upgrade.
6. The ATI Radeon Xpress 200m uses shared memory with the ability to utilize 128mb, in other words the more system RAM, the better... Duh.
7. The "ATI Radeon Xpress 200m w/ Productivity Ports" option includes the following: 1 firewire port, 6in1 card reader, an extra USB port and a connection port that looks as though it is used for docking the laptop... I'm not positive though.
I hope this helps.
