Seems decent


How did you come to that price? Quidco is only 10% isn't it? I worked it out to come to about £525 after discounts.


649 - 15% voucher code = 551
551 - 20% [HP VAT] = 440.8 (The price you get cachback on is pre vat)
440.8 - 10% [Quidco Cashback]= 396.72
396.72 + 20% [HP VAT] = £476

You pay £551 on HP site, and will get cashback back, have I done it wrong somewhere?





For starters the discount code is 10% not 15%.

Then when you add the VAT back on I think you should add the same amount of VAT that you took off originally (you take off 20% of 551 and put back 20% of 396.72).

Theres a 15% code somewhere that expires by 6th.

Even so £525 is awesome.

So it should be:

£649 - 10% = £584
VAT @ 20% = £116.80
Ex VAT = £467.20
Quidco Discount = £46.72
£467.20 - £46.72 = £420.48
Add the VAT back on = £537.28

Something like that.

Found the 15% code, so:

£649 - 15% = £551.65
VAT @ 20% = £110.33
Ex VAT = £441.32
Quidco Discount = £44.13
£441.32 - £44.13 = £397.19
Add the VAT back on = £507.52

I think

£441.32 - £44.13 = £397.19

I think


And why would you add the initial VAT back on, it would be £397.19 + 20%

Because the Quidco cashback won't reduce the VAT, it will just only apply to the pre-tax amount.

Oh yeah, fair enough.

Just see if theroy works with the one I bought

http://h20386.www2.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=C1X26EA&opt=ABU&sel=PCNB

£799 - 15% = 679.15
679.15 - 20% = 543.32
543.32 - 12% (Rate I got Quidco at) = 478.12
478.12 + 135.83 (Initial VAT) = £613.95

About £10 off some how, as it worked out at £599 or similar

Might order one of those laptops and one of these monitors to go with it:

That will save me £1k compared to my iMac plans

Surely this is a better deal. OK it's only got Win7 and 4GB but with the difference in price you could upgrade the RAM and put Win8 on it.

Apparently that one is a mistake and shouldn't be on the website. They won't let me buy it.

That is a cracking price. Surely if you reserve and collect they can't say anything? If it's advertised at that price it's gotta be sold for that price?
