Dell Vostro Series Laptops are not that great looking. From the design point of view, the Vostro series laptops looks really average. There are some great points to Vostro Laptops though, they usually have a great hardware inside. Vostro laptops are quite heavy also so if you are looking for a light weight laptops, you will have to look elsewhere. Dell Vostro Laptops are priced reasonably and great for personal and small business.

Get the one you like before the offer expires. Something quite like this happened on an HP deal last time (coupon expired before time because of large purchase). There are lot better looking laptops around but the price of the Vostro series laptops are pretty cheap. There are some cons to Vostro laptops though, they are quite bulky, heavy and the design is pretty average.

SORRY……. the $500 off coupon has expired earlier than expected.

I have already posted some HP deals before, here is another one for you. HP has again released a coupon that will give you an instant discount of $500 for purchase of any HP Laptops over $1399. One of the specifications and configurations I liked is of a dv6700t 15.4″ widescreen notebook. You can basically choose some top end configuration and get it to a cost of $1399+ and apply the $500 off coupon and get an instant discount. Here is the dv6700t 15.4″ widescreen notebook specification I would choose.

1. Click here for dv6700t 15.4″ widescreen notebook, then choose a base configuration which is priced at $650 and click “Customize and buy” which is right next to it.
2. Select the following options (or any other combination which will total $1399+)
   1. Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.50 GHz, 6 MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB) (adds $30 to the original base price)]
   2. 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS - For Core 2 Duo Processors (adds $100)
   3. HP Imprint Finish (Radiance) + Fingerprint Reader + Webcam + Microphone (adds $50)
   4. Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Network Connection and Bluetooth (adds $60)
   5. FREE Upgrade to LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support!!
   6. HP ExpressCard Digital/Analog TV Tuner (adds $130)
   7. 12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery (adds $49)
3. Review your order and add it to your shopping cart,then checkout and apply the $500 off coupon “NB1391″
4. Your total will be $1438 and with the $500 off coupon your final cost will come down to $938 with free shipping. (All other instant savings will be void when you use this coupon.)

The above configuration is top end and for the price of $938, it is pretty cheap if you look at the hardware. You can choose any of the HP Notebooks here , configure it to a total cost of $1399+ and this “NB1391″ $500 off HP coupon will work on it. If you are really interested in getting an HP Laptop, don’t hesitate as this coupon will expire soon. I would really recommend a battery with as much cells as possible, believe me, it will come in really handy as it will massively increase the on time of the laptop without connecting to an AC power source. Choose any laptop you like and use the coupon to get a whopping $500 off. You could even configure a HP Tablet PC and get the same $500 discount, the only criteria is you will need to have a total of $1399+ for this coupon to work.

Update: This $500 HP coupon was set to expire on February 9th but it has already expired.
