How to get 20% off HP Laptops and any Laptops bought on eBay!

By making use of Microsoft’s Live Search cashback program, you can easily get 20% off HP laptops and stuff bought on eBay. One you enter your e-mail address, you will get the following: There, now you can buy stuff for 20% less. This should be great for any major purchases you make online. I started my search at Live.com and searched for “cheap” along with some product name; I tried a few variations such as “cheap wii” and “cheap laptop” and both worked. (Nick pointed out in the comments that you should sign into Live before you search; I’d forgotten that I was signed into Live when I started. Thanks, Nick!) Looked for the link titled “Buy A Cheap Laptop. You may get XX% off with PayPal if eligible.” (This morning, it was 30%. As I type this, it’s 20%) Searched for the MSI Wind (Buy it Now items only), and purchased it using Paypal. Made sure that at every step of the way, I saw the icon for “Microsoft cashback” at the top of the screen. via hackszine a cheap laptop, e mail address, ebay, hp, hp coupons, HP Laptops, HP Laptops, Laptop Deals, Laptop Hack, Laptop News, microsoft, … Continue reading →

Each screen is 13.3″ and one pivots so that one can be facing you and the other one facing the person sitting on the other side of the laptop. This was a prototype and is missing some parts but does turn on so I have no doubt someone can make this work with the right skills. This has to be the worlds largest laptop when unfolded which measures about 19.5″ across when you unfold it. This company had a great idea on the hinging concept because the entire laptop folds twice making it very portable. The keyboard is functional and it does type and you can enter the bios but I have not been able to go past that since I do not have a hard drive cable (which appears to be a custom cable with 1mm pitch) and I do not have … Continue reading →
