EDIT: It looks like the cashback reward went down to 5% if you go directly to HP store.
I was looking for a decent 14" laptop and was able to work out this deal.
I found that MS live cashback works with laptop purchases on HP.com. 20% cashback.
HP has instant rebates on several model laptops. Then there are 3 coupon codes that stack before the instant rebate:
$100 off $799 = NB0021
$150 off $999 = NB0023
$250 off $1299 = NB0031
You have to put in these codes after you put in your shipping information but you can test the code before you put in your credit card info. The codes may be limited use before the expire so act fast.
You need to first go to live.com and log in to receive cashback. (refer to this thread if you don't know what I am talking about.)
Once you are logged in for cashback, search for "HP". You will see a cashback link for shopping.hp.com. Once you click you will be shown the 20% cashback offer. Proceed to the HP website. Select the laptop you want. I chose the dv4t series.
The laptop I chose:
Pavillion dv4t
T3200 2GHz processor
14.1" 1280x800 widescreen LCD w/ BrightView
FREE Upgrade to 2GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
FREE Upgrade to 250GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
Add to cart, put in shipping information, then apply coupon code.
My order $499.99 + tax. FREE shipping.
Once the order was placed, a few hours later my MS Live cashback account shows a $100 credit which will be paid in 60 days. (I already recieved cashback from a transaction I did 3 months ago so I trust this system).
In the end this 14.1" dv4t will cost me $400+35 tax (60 day wait for $100). Pretty good deal.
You can also work this to get a 17" dv7t for $600 ($750 - 150 cashback) $150 off $999 = NB0023
