Edit: Huh, seeing how this deal has been downvoted, it appears a lot of people are either not reading, or trolling, ymmv is in the title for a reason. To get the price in this post you MUST chat with a support rep. If you're unwilling to put in a few minutes of effort for a discount simply move along, there's no reason to downvote a great deal.

Here's a screenshot of the support rep I chatted with stating that $31 would be credited back to my payment method after the order is received, open the image in a new tab, the default view in slickdeals crops off the support chat window on the bottom right:

Sooo, you posted on the original thread, shared how to save $31 by chatting with a rep (most people are not going to do that to save $31 when you triggered an alert by using the magic word), and then you started a new thread? That's why you're getting downvoted. It's a glitch in the cart and it's minimal savings on a mediocre sale.

I wasn't aware "mistake" alone triggered a price alert, I thought only the phrase "price mistake" did, I guess I should've have used the word error instead? I made this deal post before posting in the previous thread. Out of curiosity, what laptops would you say are a substantially better deal than this? It's fairly comparable to the frontpage costco $500 acer aspire laptop, but being $50 cheaper ($65 cheaper if you include shipping) with a 512gb ssd, no touchscreen, and a 16" form factor.

Err*r, Mist*ke, will trigger alerts to probably thousands of users who get the email and will click to come to this thread, expecting a hell of a deal. Being that this was posted a couple of times in the past month with barely any attention, I would say it's mediocre. $300-400? that would be a a deal. For the price point, it's what you would expect even with the $50 off coupon.

Here's one that had touchscreen, wifi7, is a 2 in1 and a few better specs for $50 or so more.

That lenovo laptop you're using as an example was $100 more, not $50 more. And went frontpage with the same cpu, similar tier screen (also 300nit 45%ntsc, though touchscreen and 2-in-1), same ram, etc. Wifi 7 and the moderately larger battery are nice (even though wifi 7 won't be too impactful of an improvement over wifi 6e in daily use), and it's a slightly nicer 2-in-1 chassis, but generally not worth the $100 premium (~22% more expensive) unless you specifically want a 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop. So congrats, you pointed out a recent frontpage laptop that's for most use cases a worse value than the one in this downvoted deal thread, hence proving my point.

Right on. Not pick everything to justify the downvotes. You do you. It's mediocre and not a PM. That's why you got the downvotes. I'd get it, if it came from a newbie, but you have years on here and should've known better. GLTY 👋
