The link to the "z" rebate goes to a "timed out session". Any other way to find it?

UPDATE: found it by searching the specific rebate ID on CC rebate center. Thanks! Hope both (actually all three) will fly!

$69.99 for the Vista Ultimate Upgrade with a pc purchase.

Same offer at Stapels, (the upgrade)

Anyone want to comment how this laptop is? Is this a good deal? I need a laptop before Tuesday for a business trip.

I did it last week with the $100 & $150 rebates. Both have been received - I'll keep you informed as to what happens.

Also, I saw in another thread that this laptop might have a cheaper sale price next week to price match to.

It is a fine laptop for surfing and wp'ing....the speakers really are horrible though.

The computer serial # - which will be on the same label as the UPC.

There is no space provided so I just wrote it on the form.

mnsweeps said:Crappy HP printer FAR with laptop purchase ..HP Deskjet D1560 Printer...I am not buying it as its not even worth the tax..

As an eBay seller, I right now have maybe 24 of the D1560 or D1455.....
Another 50 or so sold. whole or in part.
Selling the ink alone nets more that the whole thing....after all costs.

Many went to Stapels when they were giving $50 off an HP printer with any trade in.
And some to OD, they only gave $40

Next week $629.xx as shown as regular price.
I have never seen CC continue the same item the following week.
Stapels does many times.
