sku 501371

You'll need coupons $200 instant and $20 off $100
The $200 coupon is on their site, and the $20 is the only one I could get to combo.

934+75shipping-200-20-100mir=689

Not bad for a 15" screen and 2 batteries.

Here's the product link to SKU 501371 ... or a link to something that matches the initial description: SKU 502121 ... however, in both cases I don't see a $200 coupon, just a $100 MIR.

Unless someone can point me to the right page...?

Maybe he assumes Staples is "the" deal place. :D Well, that could be statistically correct too. :p

Okay, you have to customize that SKU
hit the customize button.
Select the lowest option for everything except the battery (Its free upgrade) and the 15" tft (its a free upgrade as well)
That leaves you with $934+75 shipping ($1009) before coupons and MIR.

edit: Give me a break, its my first deal. Just trying to help you folks out.

link to instant $200 off

the things is, it was to be a BTO system and i believe the notebook series has to have the 'special buy' tag listed underneath it (example, lookit at the top 2 with the tag underneath, they both lead to BTO systems with the $200 off. too bad prices have changed. heres the specs for the one i ordered on monday:
HP Pavilion ze4200 w/AMD CPU
15.0" TFT XGA
Built in 56K modem + 10/100 LAN
256MB DDR SDRAM (2x128MB)
FREE Upgrade to Athlon XP 1900+ 1.6GHz
30 GB Hard Drive
DVD-CDRW Combo Drive
XP Pro Upgrade at no cost
8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
Corel Word/Quattro Pro

...and after all the discounts, it came out to $950AR. looks like the free uprade isnt available anymore...

Yah, both the HP and the compaq will work. with the $220 instants and the MIR. Compaq I think came with more and was cheaper though.

Already Tried. Either said it was in store only, or expired. (I tried like 20-30 different coupons before settling for the $20 one)

both hp and compaq are running the promotion at the staples site... as far as the specs go, you are correct, sir/ma'am.

could you use both the Marriott MIR and the Celebrate the Savings MIR for this?

The Marriott certs could be sold for $250 or so and the Celebrate the savings is $100 MIR.

I configured the ZE4200 to be $1177

minus $200

minus $250(possibly)

minus $100

For a total of $627

Nah, says you can only get either the $100 MIR or the Marriot Coupons. Unless you're seeing a seperate form I havent seen.

Hi there, I placed this order 5 days ago, but when I checked out, I paid as if I don't use the coupon. I tried to talk with the sales people there, but they want to see the actual coupon $100 off $1000 and the BTO $200 off. I know that the BTO is on the flyer but the other one isn't.

Well, I did not remember if I log in or not when I checked out, but the order did go through for $794 (I've got the print out), but at the cashier it rang differently.

What should I do? Please advice.... I really want to score this one.

staples uses the term "shipped" very loosely. i bought a canon s30 digital camera from them on january 2, it supposedly shipped a few days later, and i got it in my house early february.
