Uh-oh...Did you notice the description section? It says "P2" which presumably means "Pentium II". Also look at the header at the top of the page. This notebook is in the "Pentium II notebooks" category.

Checked the specs at HP for Model F1667WT and it doesn't come with PII, the only 500MHz processor listed is PIII 500.

If this is a real deal.....brand new and stuff. This is a HOT buy. Forget the hp from walmart or the ibm thinkpad........this is cheap. and the 14 inch monitor is the one thats attractive.
I just got off the phone with the customer service rep. First the laptop is a PIII and comes with a 1 year warranty. Now the bad news, they only had 10 units. This is the first day that it's been on sale and they already have the 10 units sold, plus 25 additional orders lined up. I ordered one last night, but I won't know until they e-mail me if I get a laptop. The phone system is a pain. The number is 1-877-669-7221. Everything goes to voice-mail unless you dial in the extention number. Customer service is x701. If you haven't ordered yet, you're out of luck.
I tried ordering one since i had 1 in my shopping cart........But the damn website didnt go through...........................
I would hate it if i missed out on this deal...............
However, i would hate it too if i was a sucker. so someone tell me how it goes ok. Thanx.

So since there was only 10 units available....then it is almost impossible to get your hands on them right? The phone system they have is terrible and the operator seems to be at her time of the month. Really RUDE. Oh well.....i just keep my eye open on another deal then.

I also had some difficulty getting the site to load. What I did may work for some in the future. Went to techbargains and went to laptops. They had the technical specs and a direct link to the seller, which loaded immediately.
I am determined to bump this up. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ jk
Backorder means that they are going to order some more right?

man, forget it, too good to be true. I guess just like accessmicro's hard disk drive: they had only one in stock. sucks sucks
The CSR(she did sound upset, maybe 'cuz she missed the deal too?) told me that they just wanted to get rid of this item. So I don't think they are going to get more. If they do, I believe it will be at the regular price. What is different from silvereagle's post is that she said they had only 3 in stock but received 72 orders over the last night. Does that mean 7 lucky guys already went through?

they'll not offer this price any more. They will raise the price next time if they get new inventory. Like the case of my IBM Thinkpad 570E, after I bought it at $960, they ended the special and raised the price to $1299.

I'm not one of the lucky few to get one of these, but I'd like to thank TuOni for the post. The people at the store sounded shell-shocked at the number of orders they recieved overnight. Just illustrates the power of AnandTech.
yeah> bump for tuoni, Nice find
I order a laptop 2 weeks ago from them, only complaint is they email me sayin their havin probs with my order and to give them a call. So- I call them, all they wanted to do is try to sell me upgrades for the laptop. How very nice I said, make me wait on hold for half hour just to try to sell me more stuff.
Laptop was a compaq for $749 shipped. Came double boxed.
Another deal I was waiting for em to bring back was for samsung 7050 laser printer for $399. 17ppm, built-in DUPLEXER, ect... Good deal. They don't have it anymore.

I'm curious, what if you had successfully completed the laptop order checkout with no problems (when it was still showing "in stock" in large letters, and before the "not for sale" notice)? In fact MyPC21 had emailed two separate order confirmation notices this morning! Later they send a third email saying the laptop's backordered and told me to call if I want to cancel the order.
If I don't cancel, can they still drop my order, or raise the price if/when they get new stock to fulfill the backorders?
I finally called a CSR and she said they ARE getting some more units of this laptop in a couple of weeks but it will be for the regular price of something like $1900. She pretty much implied that they will actually either drop the backorders or make them pay the regular price. I can understand their position, but dang, a larger store like Buy.com or CompUSA would've honored backordered purchases if the fault was on their part. I mean, if you don't use any type of real-time or near-time updated inventory system on your ecommerce website, why bother flashing the big "IN STOCK" sign on the order page (and sending out order confirmation notices)? They could've even just put up some type of notice saying "only 3 in stock" to begin with. If the website had correctly displayed the backordered status at the time of my order, it wouldn't have raised my hopes so much.
Heh, remember when Buy.com made a pricing error on some monitor a while back and a boatload of people took advantage of it?
Buy.com's site correctly indicated the backordered status for the majority of the orders (but still let the orders take place). And remember this was in fact an honest price listing error (which is usually covered under some legal clause). But some greedy lawyers filed a class action suit against them anyway...

Why dont they just keep it at regular price. Damn PC21SUCK I WANT MY LAPTOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If someone got this laptop please share your experience please.
