If you guys looked at the questions asked they say they know it is a typo and will notice it when they file it.

[quote=xxkobemvp24]Indeed. However, your speculation is wrong.
Anyways, I doubt they would actually send any orders out - remember when Sears put a typo of the ipad being $69? they canceled every single one and refunded everyone. This one isn't going to happen guys, sorry. The price gap is too big - a 1k computer typo'd at 100 - not going to happen lmao.[/quote]

Their website it states that they have the right to cancel/refuse orders if there is a price mistake.

@ricefluff: Its not "Misinformation" It's speculation, And the thread topic writer asked a question directed to anyone, So I stated my opinion on speculations I've made. So please.

[quote=7thSilencer]Well, there's nothing to lose is there, apart from perhaps 5 minutes of your time. If things go well, I'll have 17 laptops waiting for me to resell and make a decent profit. If not, they I lost 10 minutes, no big deal.[/quote]

I will sht my pants if that company lets you make $48,000 off a price mistake.

But anyways I will order one for the lols.

[quote=finkle]Oh wow. Do you think it'd be a bad idea to order this with a debit card? My paypal account is limited right now so I can't add money, and I don't know how long it'll take to get it resolved.[/quote]
It's not a bad idea. I just bought 4 more aha. You should take advantage of this before they discover this error. When they find out, if they don't give it out, just email the PR rep, and she'll make sure you get it in the end.

It's probably a pricing error. It's $3.4k on buy.com http://www.buy.com/prod/hp-elitebook-8760w-xu101ut-17-3-notebook-intel-core-i7-2720qm-2-2ghz/221735284.html?listingId=152193176

Sorry to break it to you, but most likely it is and you will not be getting one.

[quote=ricefluff]no clue where he saw that i just placed my order my brother ordered like 16 total shipped to 3 different locations LMAO[/quote]

LMAO. If it weren't for the fact I knew I wouldn't be getting it, I'd have asked my parents for their credit cards to do the same. Broke life </3

[quote=finkle]The q&a is so sketchy o_o[/quote]

People don't want others to buy it so that they will be able to get it. Selfish to the max. If you google the brand, you'll see that it's pretty legit.

[quote=Boss]I ordered a single unit the first time, they said nothing about being out of stock. However, after I read this, I wanted to be sure... so I ordered 2 more.
But no, they didn't say anything about it being out of stock, where'd you see that?[/quote] Yeah I ordered 7 of them LOL. But yeah, they're out of stock. The noticed disappeared for some reason after I clicked refresh, but every few refreshes, it comes back, but it doesn't really matter. Even if you had to wait 4 months, this is a ridiculous price for such a good laptop. They'll send you an email when they ship it out.

[quote=vaelietta]I heard that it was out of stock. Were you still able to get one?[/quote]

[url=http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Adorama]According to resellerratings, it's legit o.o[/url] I'm not sure as to why the laptop is so gosh darn cheap when it's worth well over 2k on amazon.

Id be very careful about this.

$162 for a "brand new laptop" is very risky.

Honestly i wouldnt get it.

[quote=Boss]Might as well. I think Apple once incorrectly priced some headphones and they had to ship out tons of them for a fraction of the price.

EDIT: placing my order now, LOL[/quote]
