HP Envy X2 11t-g000 $532 Before Tax With Coupon

Quote from patrick999 : Interesting the amazon.com model shows a standard keyboard. How did you verify it has a battery in the dock?

Played with one at Staples, plus reviews (from well known sites) state that is has a battery in the dock. There is no risk here. HP will pay for return shipping and with no restocking fees. I believe you have 21 days from receipt to initiate a return.

Guys...mine has shipped...I'll have it by March 1st. I'll give you a full review of the specs and all when it comes in.

Quote from patrick999 : Question to ask is this, why is the HP 569 total and everyone else 800 bucks? Another question also is if this is such a great deal why does it only have a rating of 1 Star

people are comparing the specs of this tablet/keyboard combo to that of a full scale laptop...which isn't a good idea to do...

With that said, I ended up skipping this deal and picking up the 32GB Asus VivoTab 10.1" Wi-Fi Windows 8 RT Tablet with VivoTab Keyboard Docking Station for only $350.

Here are the quick differences between the two:
-the HP runs full windows 8, while the Asus runs Windows RT
-therefore, the HP has generally better specs...except:
- the Asus includes office, which is a huge $$$ savings

I'm also not a big fan of HP, given their idiot move of killing their WebOS tablet/smartphone business...which, of course they are now desperately trying to re-enter the tablet/smartphone market by producing both Windows and Android tablets (they just announced they will begin selling a stripped down Android tablet for $169...but the specs are terrible).

The two units are completely different, the EnvyX2 has the new dual core atom at 1.8Ghz, with much greater battery life + even more battery with the keyboard dock attached. Also, a full fledged Windows 8 license. the included office license is a big wash for a ton of people including me who can get it free or very cheap. It's also an 11.6" screen

I agree that comparing the Vivotab and the X2 is like apples to oranges. I have a Surface RT (same basic internals of the vivotab) and even though its pretty quick, it can't run chrome or google hangouts. If you can live with internet explorer as your only browser and only need office, the tab is a much cheaper choice though.

Shes Out For Delivery! Wont be long now!

I'm looking forward to your impressions of the X2. I ordered shortly after you posted this deal and mine is still processing with a March 12th target ship date.

Ok gents...here we go:

I just got my Envy X2 11t-g0000 This is what is has, I am typing from the Envy X2.

SD Card Slot
8mp Camera on back
Front facing Camera
2 Batteries - the main and the second in the keyboard
2 USB 2.0 ports on the dock
1 HDMI port on the dock
Headphone jack on the dock
Micro SD Card Slot on bottom of Tablet
Headphone jack on bottom of tablet
Charging port on both the dock and tablet

This is not a watered down version AT ALL people. Its a nice little set up. As previously mentioned...its not a performance beast. For my needs, it is fine...more than fine actually. It is a bit peppier than my Acer Iconia W510 which has the same specs. Wish it had a micro HDMI port on the tablet part, but hey...ya cant have everything. Only remaining questions is whether or not the stylus works with this model. I intend to order that once it is available to see, but being that this seems to have the same features as the others, I bet it will work. I think the lower price is because this had to be ordered and wasn't ready to ship right away. If anyone has any questions still...feel free to message here or PM me. I will be selling both my Vivotab TF600t and Acer Iconia W510 since I am so happy with this.

Coupon "CAMPUS364" is dead. any new coupon that works?

Quote from summermmtea : Coupon "CAMPUS364" is dead. any new coupon that works?

Quick search came up with CAMPUS178 for $100 off $699 and up through 23-Mar. Just tried and it won't combine with the $150 instant rebate.

Looks like we got a stellar deal then! Woot Woot!

I wonder how Haldy got his so fast. I ordered shortly after it was posted and have a 12-Mar target ship date. If you order today the estimated ship date is 13-Mar.

Mine is scheduled for the 6th but I checked tracking and its currently in my town. I ordered a day b4 this was posted.

$599 at Staples through March 9. Not as good a deal, but provides instant (or close to) gratification.
