"The Fall semester has already started for college students, so why haven't you gotten yourself a laptop yet? You may not need it for Syllabus week, but soon you'll be sent home with more homework than you can imagine. Get a computer that can handle it without completely depleting your monthly budget. Right now, this HP student laptop is down 77% at Amazon. It's list price is $2,800, but the deal is bringing the price to just $645. That's a difference of $2,154."
"If we take a look at the price history of this item, we'll see it's only existed on Amazon since June of this year. After a couple weeks, it immediately shot down in price by roughly as much as it has now (mostly around $800). Since then, it's been back and forth from a crazy discount like this and its full price, but never back up for more than several days at a time."
"Some Amazon sellers will try to give the illusion you're getting a better deal than you are. That starting price is just made up. The discounted rate is the real value of the laptop. But now if we're looking at that, this laptop had spent most of the Summer at around $800. Now that school has started, it's come down to its new lowest price of $646."
The HP student laptop is being sold on Amazon at $645 with a claimed list price of $2,800, presented as a 77% discount. Price history shows the item first appeared on Amazon in June and quickly dropped to roughly $800, then fluctuated between steep discounts and the full price. The laptop features an Intel Core i3 processor, 32GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, and a 17.3-inch display. Many Amazon sellers inflate list prices to create the illusion of a large discount, and the realistic market value for this model has been closer to $800 this summer.
