Sony Superslim R505DL w/ docking st. P3-M 1Ghz 256MB 30GB cdrw/dvd floppy $1500 + 12 months financing

[Pennstate]

R505 + docking station (flppy + dvd/cdrw)

This at your local bestbuy. $1699- 2x($100) rebates = $1499.

Only 1 $100 rebate was advertised but it printed out 2. One req UPC, other req copy of upc.
The best part is they have 12 months no interest financing for those who qualify.

I suggest you get he 3 year walkin warranty for $200. You'll probably need a new battery within 3 years.

I doubt the extended warranty from BB will cover the battery because it is a user replaceable part.

 

[Pennstate]

It specifically said on my plan broucher that it covers battery repair/replacement for notebooks.

 

[olouie]

nice.... looks like a pretty good deal to me

You are right. It does.

I actually got this laptop at bestbuy over Easter weekend using the 12 months no interest financing. I love it, and hope you can join the club.

 

[Pennstate]

So far I like it too. I also got a northface sleeve case from ebags for $17 shipped

anyone have something good to say about the video card? id like to be able to play CS on there. (why the heck arent there any sub 5lb notebooks with a good video card.)

 

[Pennstate]

you might try thr compaq 1722s. 5.2lb with cdrw/dvd and floppy and ati radeon 8mb. For ~$1300

Pretty good deal.

FYI: I tried another 505 but it didn't work for my purposes - I needed lightweight WITH the DVD, these go to 7-pounds when you add the docking station, plus the DVD-CDRW was pretty loud.

I love the keyboard on these things.

were both rebates from BB? I bought one yesterday, but it only had 1x$100 rebate.

editBTW, can someone please post what the rebate offer numbers are? thanks /edit

 

[Pennstate]

24708 & 24524

Both are mailed to the same place in Maine

 

[sirsolo]

Thanks, Pennstate!

<i>edit:</i> If anyone still has their rebate forms, could you please scan it and send it to me (sirsolos@yahoo.com)? Thanks. <i>edit</i>

Anyone can confirm there is still two rebates on this model?

 

[Ben12345]

I am not sure how to get this lappy cheap now. Just checked with bestbuy they have only one rebate with it. We might get AMEX to PM an on-line store for a little bit better price though but probably not much.

i only see one rebate. and i think it is supposed to be only 1.
