Go to shopping.hp.com and select the Envy 15 notebook. Choose to customize the base model ($1299). Add at least $100 worth of options (the 1080p matte or glossy screens are a highly recommended upgrade), bringing the total to no less than $1399. At checkout, apply the coupon NBMY33241. You should get $450 off, bringing the total to around $1000 with tax, AND free 5-7 day shipping.

Basic specs:
i5 430M
4GB DDR3 1066
ATI HD 5830
320GB 7200 RPM hard drive
1920x1080 glossy or matte 15.6" screen with upgrade
Magnesium Alloy (metal) chassis
~5 lbs heavy
~1" thick
USB / eSATA combo, 2x additional USB, HDMI, ethernet, SDHC / Micro SDHC slot

- There's no CD drive, but an external with additional two USB ports is available for $50 when customizing.
- Battery life is 2.5-3 hours, perhaps more, with standard 6 cell; a "slim fit" 9 cell is available which brings battery life to 5-7 hours or so, but adds additional weight and thickness when attached
- Some users report difficulty with the webcam (driver issue) and integrated touchpad buttons (minor annoyances)
- 2x USB 3.0 ports and 4x DIMM slots available with (expensive) upgrade to i7 processor; i5 model has USB 2.0 and 2x DIMM instead
- The chassis can accommodate 1x 2.5" hard drive OR 2x 1.8" hard drive - great if you have an X18-M kicking around!

Overall, they look like really solid laptops, and for this price it's a no-brainer if you're in the market and have the cash.

I've been keeping an eye on this and have been very tempted, but two things have kept me away: Tax, which is huge, and lack of an internal optical drive, which is merely an annoyance.

EDIT - I see now that you mentioned these, but eh 😛.
 
Tax was ~$55 for me. If it makes you feel better, think of it this way: it's a $1400 laptop with a $400 coupon and no tax / free shipping. 😛
 
I'm actually really tempted to buy this for myself or my wife, but the battery life is absolutely killing me. I have a UL30VT with switchable graphics that cost me $800 that easily gets 9 hours.

This would make a great desktop replacement laptop for my wife, then the battery wouldn't matter. But this is premium and she wouldn't appreciate it to the fullest when a laptop half the cost would make her happy.

GAH
 
Wow, well I looked around for other 1080p 15" laptops and I decided I wasn't going to find one for under $1000 with these features anyway. So talked to my wife and she wants it so I went ahead and did it. Actually I got a pretty sweet deal.

Jumped on the deal as well. Bing CB is invalidated by the coupon but hopefully they won't notice. 🙂 It would be sweet if Bing 5%+FW cash 3%+Discover 5%(BOFA 3%) stacked.

I agree and did the exact same thing. I don't expect the BCB to go through, but it'll be a cool bonus if it does to get $100 back. From what I hear they have it sit pending in your account for like 45 days then eventually deny it, but it's worth a shot.

The last time I got in on a printer deal from hp.com using a coupon and bcb they did honor the bcb so maybe there is a chance you'll get it.
