You want to buy this Laptop from Staples:
Here’s a quick Specs:

80GB Hard Drive

For me, I’m going through Ebates since I can get 2% cash back for the above deal. Just search “Compaq Presario F572US Notebook PC” through your Ebates’ Staples portal.
The price is $504.98 – $30 Easy Rebate.
Here is where it gets insane. This works best if you have a lot of Nortons and McAfees products laying around since you will need it for upgraded rebates.
Here are the items you need to buy along with your computer:

It gets crazier since Staples has these $50 Dining Dough Gift certificate over $100 purchase. Some people manage to split these apart. People have reported to have success with 20% off coupon on each software.
At the end, and if all the coupons, cash back, and rebates go through, you can actually make money from this deal with all the freebies and a brand New computer.
The above deal is brought you by Fatwallet member Circuit City, check out the crazy thread here for more info.
Be careful with any of the CA products. They are known to not pay out their rebates. I bought a computer in November, submitted the rebates ONLINE to make the software “free”. They denied all rebates saying they never received anything in the mail. It was submitted online. Calls were no help. I wouldn’t count on the rebates from CA. Just a buyer beware.
