I spent the day (Friday 21st) looking for a nice laptop deal for my young nieces Xmas pressie. Yes, I really mean a whole 20 hours solid!

I initially noted HP had some cracking prices in their sale, with on average £100-£200 off laptops (34 models), which made them very good prices for a top brand.

Then I spotted a 15% voucher code: 15OFFVC

NEW CODE for 15% off: 15OFFXMAS

I was looking at the Envy Ultrabooks (which are lovely looking machines). But I plumped for the Pavilion Ultrabook™ 14-b006sa. This is currently on sale @ Very for £500 reduced from £580. Also a lower spec variant of this model (b005sa) is in Currys @ £480.

I have posted the specs. below, but we are talking a 3rd gen Intel (Ivybridge), with HD4000 graphics, 6GB ram, a SSD of 32GB which means a boot time of ~8 seconds (!!) as well as a 750GB SATA, HDMI, USB3, Webcam, SD slot, battery up to 9 hours and all packed in a sleek, ultra-thin 1.8kg package!

A modern budget Ultrabook of that spec. for less than £300 after Quidco. Fill yer boots! There are several other stonking deals on there.

To top it all - free NEXT DAY delivery - Which should (hopefully!) mean I get it in time for Xmas.

A blinding deal IMHO. But hurry the code ends Tomorrow (23rd) and Quidco is only 15% for 24 hours (till the 23rd also)! So that could mean almost 30% off already nicely discounted machines.

Hope this helps some folks. Time to go to bed now (03:15!)....

PS: The slightly lower spec. variant of this model (14-b003sa) with 4GB and 320GB SATA can be yours for £314 after discount and £267 after Quidco. Yes, that's £267 for an Ivybridge Ultrabook with SSD!!!! Its £430 @ JL and that's discounted! [great mini-review there too].

I agree with "offalot" comment about discount rates. Yesterday I ordered ENVY dv6 7200ea and tracked at 12%. I got an email confirmation from HP and will be delivered on 27th, day after tomorrow.

Any thoughts on ENVY dv6 7200ea !!!!
Im interested in the same laptop, how much will it cost you after all discounts and quidco cashback have been taken away??

15% code worked for me :)

My quidco also tracked at 12% only. Will need to contact quidco to ask why this has happened when I clicked through the 15% link.

Same thing happened to me, I've just checked the Quidco help page and been directed to the following message: "Don’t worry - Hewlett-Packard always tracks in this way. This will update to the correct amount prior to the cashback being confirmed in your account."

Ordered on 22nd Dec and got an email today saying:

"Thank you for your recent order from HP Store. Unfortunately we were unable to execute your order, either due to us being unable to verify all of your information, or that there was an error in processing your order. If you have already paid we have arranged for a refund for you and the details of how you will receive this are below........"

Paid using Credit Card, so there can't be any issue with the payment. It is absolutely utter nonsense.... The real reason must be that they don't have that model anymore and they trying to refuse the order.....
mmmooo#726
hey just ordered one.. Anyone who ordered recently got an email conforming the date of arrival?
cd83#727
HP cancelled mine too. It may be due to paying by a card and having a different invoice / delivery address (which they only seem to mention as an issue after you place the order.) Their customer service team were poor and I don't think they deserve my money.

Just need to hope another good deal pops up!

Hi it comes to £495.12 + 99.02 vat = 594.14 on their order info. less quidco tracking at 12% 59.41 bring it down to 534.73.

I think it's good deal as comes with printer which costs about 45 quid on Amazon. I mean not bad for a laptop with i7, 1TB hdd, 8gb ram, etc.

I placed an order on Saturday morning for the 14-b003sa. No confirmation email till Monday with a delivery date for 27th December. I called them also on Monday to double check and all is fine. Payment taken via PayPal.

good luck all....

oh quidco also tracked immediately when the order was placed.
