How is the fan noise on this computer?

Today I was at the Office Depot in Montgomery, IL to buy a couple of this laptop using the Staples coupon. After about 30-40 minutes of them checking if they can honor it, they decided they could honor it. After I had already concluded the transaction with my signature, one of the employees cut off the register. After waiting another 10-15 minutes they decided they couldn't honor it.

So after waiting about an hour and after finalizing the transaction they took away the laptops that they told me they were going to honor it and now I have nothing. The charge is on my card too yet I don't have the item to show for it. I'm usually patient with these type of things but that was ridiculous with how they handled. Not honoring it is one thing, but to make me wait all that time, say they're going to honor it, finalize the transaction and then take it away. Wow!

Went to OD, found the laptop I wanted. Showed the coupon and they said OD doesn't price match electronics. What? ...

Each OD is different in that way, sadly.

I walked right in and went to the cashier and said, "My friend said you guys have honored coupons for him before, I'd like to use this one" and I handed them the staples coupon. Worked like a charm, no manager needed. I really suggest not timidly asking if they honor coupons. If you make it seem like you came there convinced they do honor, then they won't try to weasel out of it for fear of wasting the time of a determined customer.

but there is a Staples down the block from my OfficeDepot and they were quick to point out to be that they honor all coupons from local competitors. I presume "local" being the key word.

As well as finding a good deal on a wireless mouse since it's touch pad left/right clicks are uncomfortably hard to press.

This is quite common. If the competitor isn't local or doesn't have the item in stock, the store manager can choose not to honor the coupon.

I'm sorry you weren't able use the coupon - I was able to use it today to return/rebuy the laptop I bought yesterday very quickly and with no hassle, just a review and override from a department manager, but there is a Staples down the block from my OfficeDepot and they were quick to point out to be that they honor all coupons from local competitors. I presume "local" being the key word.

It's Bluetooth which the G580 doesn't have but I'm planning on adding a small USB BT adapter.

I just used the $75 coupon at OD and I feel so O.G.

Left OD with a huge grin on my face, wanted to listen to some two chainz.

Wow, indeed. If you got to the part here you signed, you have a valid contract which they did not honor. Ask the store manager to spell his name for you. Tell him you want to make sure you get it right on the filing for breech of contract.

yeah right. even after you walk out the door, they still can go after you to ask for it back. it happened many times to our slickdealers.

0/3 on the staples coupon.

I was flat out denied at 3 stores.

The second and third stores I went to didn't even bother looking at the coupon.

They said they wouldn't honor it since the laptop was already heavily discounted.

Getting them to accept the coupon is very YMMV because staples doesn't have this identical item. If you go in with a nice attitude and talk to store managers not department managers they are more willing to accept these types of coupons.
