HP currently have cashback offers on some of their laptops - typically
you get £100 back on a £350 laptop, reducing the effective price to
£250.

Have any of you done this, and is it pukka?

Reading the small print, there appear to be so many conditions which
have to be fulfilled in order to claim the cashback that I wonder how
many people actually succeed in getting their cash before they lose the
will the live.

Any comments?

When I was looking a few weeks back, the screen had to be unscratched,
laptop less than 4 years olds and in fully working order apart from
anything else


The ones being discussed here (certainly the microservers) don't require
any old hardware.



No - that's a breakaway subthread

"HP currently have cashback offers on some of their laptops" is
specifically what I was referring to

(yes, I also bought a couple of proliant uservers with the cashback deal).





But the laptops I referred to in my OP don't require any part exchange.
It's simply a retrospective cash discount. Like this one, for example:
