Well I made a purchase at Best Buy this afternoon.
I did quite a bit of research today, in fact I went to Best Buy four times and finally got the laptop at 10:30PM
It's an HP DV6636NR
AMD Turion 64 X2 1.9 ghz processor
2 gigs RAM, expandable to 4gig
15.4 monitor
DVD burner
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M
Wireless card
and lots of other stuff
Complete specs can be seen here:
HP laptop from Best BuyPriced at $849.99. For this week only, Best Buy offered 0% financing for 13 months. That deal ended Dec 1.
I wasn't going to buy the notebook because it was too expensive. I went home and researched Best Buy's unreleased sales ad for this week, Dec 2 - 9. I found a copy someone had scanned onto the net. It had this same computer on sale for $200 off, or $649.99, but were no longer offering the 0% financing.
So I went back to Best Buy and purchased the laptop on 0% financing. They have a 14 day price match promise, that if they offer the laptop cheaper in the next two weeks I will receive the sale price.
So I'm going to go back tomorrow and get my $200 off, while keeping my free financing.
I got a real good deal, at least in my opinion. Building a comparable notbook on HP's website, the one I bought still works out cheaper even after using HP's 30% discount code.
BTW Best Buy is also running a real nice Compact notebook for $399 this week.
