UPDATED, now 15% MS Cashbach takes $75 off.

Seriously, considering how much these things typically cost, this is a smoking deal. Green please.

1. Go to MS Cashbach (<- that's a link to it) and log in.
2. Use the search field for TigerDirect.
No results will be found.
3. Click on "Web".
4. TigerDirect 15% cashbach is displayed.
5. Click on it.
You are taken to TigerDirect page.
6. The netbook is just a little down the screen.

HP Mini-Note PC w/
Webcam & Bluetooth

7. The price is $499 with a $100 HP rebate.
8. Shipping is about $1.99

Math: 500 +2 (shipping) -75(15% cb) - 100 (rebate)= Very Merry Christmas= $327

This is the top of the line for the HP 2133 Mini-Note series, all metal chassis and cabinet, with express card interface, and Vista Business downgradeable to XP Pro. Did I mention it has bluetooth, webcam, and a 6-cell battery? Oh, and this has a 1280 x 768 display. Not 1024 x 600 like most netbooks.

Specs at HP.
Dang, $830 there?

And don't red the deal because it is from TigerDirect. They shipped it the same day I ordered. The rebate is from HP, the cashbach is from MS (I got mine in about 5 minutes) and the netbook is an HP with very good keyboard size and build quality.

Looks tempting....

Thanks OP for temptation...

This is a great looking netbook with great features and design. The main problem is the slow processor. With the release of the awesome MSI Wind with the Intel Atom 1.6 at $499 this laptop will need to be changed to an Atom too. Don't buy, buy the Wind instead.

for performance, I would go with the celeron over atom in netbooks.

Atom is an very slow cpu (although the main purpose is lower power consumption)

Was there a way to get $20 off if you use PAYPAL for payment?

how do you "downgrade" to XP Pro? and will that disable the BT?

LOL, I want to get my 74 year old father a notebook, but he can't see well. I bought him a 22 inch monitor and he has the text on largest setting for outlook express and he said "how do I make it bigger, I can't see." No chance of him using a 8.9 inch screen!

The cheapest I see for this model (KX870AT) on eBay is $550 buy it now. You can get lesser models (512MB, 8GB SSD, etc) cheaper.

Here is a website that will answer some questions. http://www.hp2133guide.com

set the monitor to 800x600 for you grandpa it should be huge. seriously you could buy grandpa $50 HP machine with XP on it and it would walk circles around netbook (p4-2.4ghz). that would be cruel to give an elderly person such a compact computer

you should check out the crayola keyboard. it is bright n colorful and big keys. 2yr old loves it!

HP has Buy one HP 2133 Mini-Note, get second for half-price - Expires 12/16/2008!
