staples- Take an extra $75 OFF any Windows 8/RT laptop, desktop or tablet.*

Damn it, slickdealers beat me again. the Lenovo H430-57311430 Desktop PC sold out at my local store. One manager told me that someone literally bought the last one 15 mins before I called. I'm going to talk to customer service and see if I can bitch my way to this deal.

Quote from microkelvin : nope. i couldn't get back to windows7 UI by pressing the windows key in the metro UI. i press 1 time, i got Metro UI back, press another time, i got a background app running asking me to sign in my Microsoft account. the only way i can get back to windows 7 UI is to click on "Desktop" button on Metro UI.

You may need to click the desktop button after startup for the windows button to toggle back and forth between Metro (Modern UI) and the Windows 8 desktop mode.

Regardless, the UI from Windows 7 is essentially there. It takes one mouse click to activate it.

Quote from mrtrance : Do all OD's accept Staples coupons? I can't seem to find that point in their PM policy now whereas before it mention specifically about accepting competitor's coupons.

No. My OD doesn't accept competitor coupons on technology.

I did an online chat with Office Depot and they do accept competitor's coupons. Here is from the chat transcript:

Please know that we do accept the competitors coupons only in the stores , and we accept the following competitors coupons : competitors, Staples.com, OfficeMax.com, BestBuy.com, Reliable.com, Quill.com, Sears.com, Target.com, KMart.com, Costco.com, or SamsClub.com

I got turned down at two Office Depots with cheap ass excuses. First one was, "we are losing money so we cannot accept the coupon" WTH? I went to the other and they were telling yes, we accept coupons and so on and so on. Once I showed them the coupon, the manager freaked and told me "We are not obligated to accept this coupon" Double WTH?

The coupon is only good if you manage to get OD to take it.

None of the Staples have any one of the computers I want.

This is the one I have my eye on, I would appreciate any feedback if it is a good choice. Thanks!

Thks, that's great coupon. But how do you get such coupon, I can never find a coupon that's good as this. Just wish I know how to search for something like that.

Acceptance or rejection of competitors' coupons is at individual stores managers' discretion. Not saying it's right or wrong but that's the way it is.

Next Week add is up in staples
