[sav]

Hurry!

http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/product/product_detail/NW250AA%2523ABA/

Use codes SVN7795 or SVN7798 to get $10 off ...

Update: it appears you must have an EPP account to be able to add the item to the cart, otherwise it shows "coming soon" for general public accounts...

Update: the item is reportedly available to general public now.

I still only see "Coming Soon" @ 99.99 on Home Office or "Add to Cart" @ 129.99 on Small Business.

Can you direct us to the site you saw?

I see you added the link while I was writing my post, but it still says "Coming Soon" for me!

I just checked the link in my post and it allows me to add the item and go to checkout...

I do have EPP account though, may be this makes a difference?

Well, they must have sold out very quickly!

[sav]

No, it's still available for me. I guess, you need to have an EPP account... I've just placed another order.

This is strange though; I've never seen this kind of "discrimination" from HP...

What's an "EPP" account ? I don't plan on buying any more, but just curious.

[Brandon Poindexter]

Is it "Employee Purchase Program"? I'm not really an employee for HP so. . .

EDIT: I like how under the price it says "In stock: Can ship within 24 hours." but still insists its "coming soon". But for some reason you can buy it (supposedly) from here. I haven't tried it though since $129 for me is kinda high.

Basically, it's a discount program for HP partner companies. Most large companies usually have it.

[Michael de Estrada]

So I gather you have to log in to get it ?

[sav]

It appears this way. Can someone with a regular, non-EPP account log in first and see if it makes a difference?

[Michael de Estrada]

I just created an account and logged in with no success.

[sav]

Well, I guess, this confirms my theory then. I've updated my initial post so not to give people false hopes. :(

It seems like the best deal for now to the general public is $129 at the HP Business Store HP 15C LE

Well, I just ordered two from the HP Home store for $99 each with free shipping. I used coupon code SVN7798 posted above (which applied a $10 discount to the total). I have an account at the HP Home store (for printer stuff), but I'm just a regular customer AFAIK!

Give it a try again, boys (and girls in Katie's case)!

The website has the "add to cart" button for me and I don't have any kind of account with HP.

[Michael de Estrada]

They must have changed it overnight. It now shows an "add to cart" button for me as well.

I have updated my original post to indicate general availability.

[Donald Ingram]

Thanks for the heads up on hp's site.
Agilent EPP so got the small discount.

[sav]

Did the coupons work? It's unusual that they allow to use coupons with EPP discount.

[Masaki Adachi]

The coupon code worked for me

[Donald Ingram]

I did not try any coupon codes other than my in house one - it did not take any more off than the minimal 10% off as shown on EPP page.
After tax added not really any savings.

I tried this without actually buying one. It would save me $15 USD off the price before tax. Shipping is free.

Were I to order one, it would cost me $90.94
