A lot people seem have questions about cashback. I give a little summary below hope to clear things up. They are from last time I read it. I have not re-read, please double check and let me know if anything changed.

£50 cashback.
Straight cash, not string attached. Apply 30 days from invoice date.
HP need to know two things, how much you paid for, and confirmation of model no: 450 G3 - P5T14ET.
They need to a scan of your invoice when you apply. If 450 G3 - P5T14ET is not on invoice, you will need to upload a photo of the sticker on the box showing 450 G3 - P5T14ET as well.



£125 trade-up cashback
Apply straight away after you got your invoice.
There is no brand restriction. You can give HP your old device in whatever brands.
If you are claiming as individual end user, answer as follows:
Are you a UK VAT registered business? answer No.
Customer Type, answer "Small Business (1-10 staff)".

The conditions are:

1. Trade-in device must be fully working conditions. Any part not working, HP will take money off.
2. Tablet not less than 9 inch, laptop not less than 10 inch.

3. If you trade in PC/laptop originally comes with Win XP, no age restriction.
If you trade in PC/laptop originally comes with system other than XP, no more than 6 years old.

Cheapest way, you have an old one not needed.

The next is by a xp laptop off ebay for £20-30, a lot work because you have to make sure everything is fully function (battery etc).

The easiest way if you do not have an old device, is to buy a 9 inch tablet for less than £50, you only need to make sure the tablet is fully working. 2nd hand cheap ones especially those from China, or Nook HD+ from CeX.

I opened the back and can confirm there is a SATA connector for a HDD.

i3-6100U score 3519, improved a lot over previous genertions.
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i3-6100U+%40+2.30GHz&id=2623

i5-5200U score 3514
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-5200U+%40+2.20GHz&id=2440


There is a free SATA connector, you can buy a 2TB 2.5 inch HDD for around £50 and put in for storage. You can have both 128GB SSD and 2TB HDD at the same time.


Model number is 450 G3 - P5T14ET
Individual end users can claim both cashbacks on one laptop. It has always been the case in the past. HP never ask a question.


£50 cashback
https://hpcashback.com/gb/en/pages/cashback/qualifying

£125 tradeup cashback
https://tradeuptohp.com/gb/en/pages/qualifying

See post 25 for a little summary of how cashback works, let me know if anything has changed.

I got both my tradein and cashback approved(waiting it be paid now). Not sure if this did the trick but I gave the wrong invoice number during tradeup claim(order no instead) and used the correct one for cashback.

I do not want to disagree.

I think even without the £50 cashback, it still works out cheaper than a budget consumer laptop at £300.

Do you agree?

So you have not paid anything extra for its premium quality over a budget consumer laptop.

ouch ... that's not happened before - a worrying development and not in any T&C's is it?

Just had the cashback refused because I already applied for the trade-in. Seems like HP have changed from both cashbacks to either/or. Used to be a good deal getting both cashbacks. With only single cashback it's not worth it IMO. Shame as I used to like upgrading my laptops this way.... HP Probooks aren't necessarily worth that premium price IMO without the dual cashbacks so will think twice in future.

Nope not yet. It says it can be up to 2 months for payment and I did get a strange email titled: RE: RECTIFICATION - HP Inc. UK Vendor Setup confirmation request so perhaps it is moving. On the tracking page it was set to Approved for ages and not received but now says Query, so it looks like something has gone wrong....

EDIT: Mine has just turned to Validated this afternoon

Has anyone received their trade-in cashback ?

Yes lots of questions about the trade-in:
Does it need to have an XP sticker to be valid (or just that it originally came with XP?)?
Would I have to send in KB mouse etc with the desktop unit as it says all accessories?

Thoughts please! Thanks

Has anyone ever sent in a trade without hard drive? I have one which doesnt have one... Guess I could pick up a cheap hard drive, but would probably be easier just to pick up a second hand tablet for a similar price and still be left with my old laptop :S

Would they accept it or would they deduct a certain amount off?

That is fair.

Re-post a deal with new prices. Link see below.

Hi, as the price and CB rates are all different you cannot edit the deal - The deal gained heat based on the previous information - Thanks

over 400, trade-up cashback increase to £150 too.

208 compare to 175, difference £33.

Good luck! :smiley:

Ok ok.... Scrap that, just received a text to say it's arriving tomorrow :smiley: Happy man now, far to used to Amazon Prime.... :smiley:

Fingers crossed the cashback claims all go through, but from what everyone else has said it sounds like it won't be a problem...

Check the order status in your account - mine has just moved onto "packing" from "processing" after about 24 hours!

It stated delivery within 48 hours, why not wait to see if they deliver before being unimpressed :smiley:

I imagine they do it on a batch cycle - once per day at the end of the day ready for the next day courier pickup.

I ordered yesterday at 2pm, still haven't had confirmation of order acceptance/delivery details through, I can't imagine they had that many orders through yesterday that they can't keep up with demand... Im just waiting for a "Sorry we have had to cancel your order" email...

If I don't receive any news tomorrow ill drop them a call, not impressed though.

Why not? Last deal worked for me and I'm a "sole trader".

Thanks OP.

Ordered yesterday just after 5pm before the price change and delivered before 12pm today.

Anyway just checked the old HP Win XP Home laptop that I wanted to trade in and the battery is faulty and maybe the trackpad, typical. :disappointed:

I could declare the faulty battery and take the £20 hit.

I also have an unopened 32GB HP Touchpad with a bunch of accessories which I could probably sell separately.

So I guess my question is which one does anyone consider more worthless?

£50 more.
I'm waiting for previous price.

Ordered yesterday morning,and itcame this afternoon (Thurs)
Completed Trade up lark, and took old PC to PO this PM..........will it come off?.....time will tell

Down to £408 if it helps anybody - still a good price with the cashbacks.

Worth keeping an eye on it as it may come down further.

Hope everything work out for you.

As Mr McEnroe said, "You cannot be serious".

Can someone provide a link for the trade in ?

When I receive it I let you all know.
I would like to thank you for this since I wouldn't find this deal without your valuable information.
Cheers,
Pedro

You are mostly welcome.

Then it is a case different HP employees give out different answer. That is very typical in most of large corporations.

I and many others here can guarantee you that HP cashbacks have been there for over a year, they have said yes and told us the way to answer the questions. And we got our cashbacks, never been asked a question in addition.

Trade-up can be claimed straight away. If you are in doubt, do not open the box. Apply and upload your invoice and possibly the tag on the box showing exactly model. It takes 1 to 2 working days for them to valid your claim. If they reject your claim which is very unlikey, and you do not want it at £300 (you can still get £50 cashback), return the laptop as you have 14 days from receiving delivery under DSR. You should heard the result long before 14 days if you apply quickly.

By the way, even at £300 this laptop is a good deal.

At £300 at the moment, you can only find budget consumer laptop with i5-5200u, HDD not SSD.

My other A10 Probook deal at £290 after cashback is out of stock anyway.

On behalf of everybody who has posted in this thread, I'd like to thank huangxq2 for all the assistance he has given to us all in his responses to our queries. I hesitated because I'd like something with a similar price and spec but a little smaller, say 13.5 or 14" screen, and missed out. Most of the HPs of that size are either Chromebooks or they are considerably more expensive. Thanks, huangxq2 !

I have contacted HP asking if this was applicable to private users, and they answered me:

Sure. it will work.

so just to confirm, any old **** 9 inch android Chinese laptop for £20 or so will work for the trade in as long as it's workin fine?

Then you should be prepared to spend a little more.
FHD, SSD, I36100U for (potentially) £175 on a "premium" laptop is probably not going to happen anytime soon.

that's my only concern with this deal

Congratulations to those who got one. Hope all cashbacks work out fine. Just bring to your attention that, apply for £120 trade-up immediately after receive the laptop, apply for £50 cashback 30 days after invoice date.

This deal is quite short lifed, only available for less than a day. Guess that is normal for a lot of good deals here.

Just got confirmation that, it has space and free SATA connector to put in a 2.5 inch HDD. Another plus point. (credit to somebody).

£120 Trade-up cashback apply immediately after you got your invoice.

£50 cashback apply 30 days after invoice date.

Details all in post 1 and 25.

Just about OK on 11", poor on 13", unbearable on 15.6".

​I ordered at 10.44 and received a confirmation email at 20.20 so it took them a while. I had an sms from DPD an hour before the email. Hope that helps.

You can only apply for the £50 cashback between 30-60 days after purchase

Great thanks, but you have to wait 30 days until claiming it seems.

My order hasn't been confirmed yet, certainly hope it does and wouldn't be happy if it didn't.

Is there a specific link for the £50 cashback, couldn't see it in the thread anywhere?

has the £50 cashback offer finished, when I went via the link it wouldn't accept any dates I inputted.

Are HP known to cancel orders? How long do they take to process an order?

Anyone's order been confirmed yet? Mine still hasn't.

I opened the back and can confirm there is a SATA connector for a HDD.

​Just had a text from dpd saying it will be delivered tomorrow :smile: well chuffed. Thanks again to the op!

Had one in the basket on the phone while out and about. By the time I got home the price had gone up :disappointed:

expired, hp have increased the price, wiered, At £444 its no more good value

It is £444.00 now !!!

Ive got a toshiba laptop running vista, is about 6 years old (how do they check??) but the lable with the product key has warn away and is no longer visible. Is that an issue for this offer?

Price gone up to £444.00

Any deals for 13.3 inches screen?

Thanks OP didn't even know that I needed one until I saw you post ! Ordered one

I was thinking of going for this:
HP ProBook 450 - i5 6th gen - as I have a spare Samsung EVO 256gb SSD, how much better is it than your deal ie the HP Probook 450 G3 with an i3?

Use the one from the new laptop once its arrived

May try this

Yeah! You got me there. Never thinked about the packaging.:smile:

Don't think they provide a box for your trade-in.

ordered....thanks!

So if you were to upgrade the ram in this or put a hdd in (if it turns out that is possible) would that not invalidate the warranty?

Thanks :sunglasses:

The question has been asked before.

Individual end users can claim both cashbacks on the laptop.

Please read my post 1 and 25 for summary, that is most of things you need to know about HP cashbacks.

Everything in the summary already confirmed with HP and put into practise, their terms are more strict in writing than they actually are.

Wanted to read more about it
https://tradeuptohp.com/gb/en/pages/tradein/home

On this (if i'm on the right area) says its available to businesses only.

Am i on the right bit?

Thanks for your replies.

I had an old Xp that works but is very slow (think it may be on last legs). Will this be accepted?

Not sure which is better:

This one or

this one: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hp-probook-455-g3-good-quality-business-laptop-a10-8700p-quad-core-1tb-hdd-15-6-2407858

I'm running out of old laptops to trade up! This is a cracking deal - thanks Op - ordered :sunglasses:

Do you need to pay postage to send tradein?

I have claimed on 5 HP Probooks myself last year for both cashbacks. All smooth. No hassle. I do need to wait 3 months for the money though.

There were some people who were asking about the term that cannot combine promotions etc. This is just to give them some comfort that they can claim both.

wipe the hard drive and send the unit without any os on it

I have claimed at least 10 of these combined cashback and trade up for myself, family and friends

It was a 3rd party in Cranleigh.

Cheers - I'm hoping it's Bracknell as I could take it there quite easily, saving boxing it up etc.

I only came back to say I've had a confirmation email from HP that a chromebook is acceptable :sunglasses:

Where do you send the trade-in pc - is it their Bracknell premises?

1366 x 768

cpubenchmark shows the i3 @ 3519 and the i5 @ 3513 so YOU'RE WRONG ;-)
Anyway I think this is what can be described as 'splitting hairs', either way it's great cpu performance for a laptop

Will an acer travelmate 5720 be eligible for the cashback?

No you're wrong.

i3-6100U is NOT score higher than i5-5200U

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-5200U-vs-Intel-Core-i3-6100U
http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-5200U-vs-Intel-Core-i3-6100U/m22169vsm37381

I've only used a 840 G1, but I would say it's not so much that they have gone down in quality, it's more that with the 840 at under 2KG while still using a metal chassis they are no longer as sturdy as the older 2.4KG+ 8470p and so on.
The 840 is basically an Ultrabook (very thin) but still has a tool-less service trapdoor and two SoDIMMs (unlike the competing Lenovo Thinkpads). Pity the hinge doesn't open more. Also, make sure to get a backlit keyboard as unlike Thinkpads there is no ThinkLight.
Oh, and HP came to some sense with M.2 slot on the G2: it's not 2260 not 2242 (irony was that on the G1, 2242 would have fitted but the put a permanent metal bolt in the way).

Thanks ordered! Should run like a beast once I get Linux installed :wink:

Thank you. Ordered one, thinking about second one.

Great find OP. Just ordered. Now I need to find something cheap to send as a trade-in;)

My Satellite pro has windows 7 installed, but the original OS was windows XP. What can I do for this laptop to be accepted? The only sticker that I have is a windows 7 one, and the letters are really difficult to see because it had duct tape on it.
So if this computer is not accepted as it is, do you think that if I take a Windows XP sticker from an old laptop that this will work ?

Just ordered, after cashback & trade In its worked out absolute bargain. Thanks OP for posting the deal. Heat added :sunglasses:

anyone with any experience in the build qualty difference between a 450 and an 840 please?

G3 manual lists M.2 solid state drive and SATA drives as primary drives.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04825517

Can I trade in a Chromebook? Acer C720

Good to know the insights.

If HP say it is ok to not have a system on the old device, then it is ok.

Thank you.

Can somebody advise what the batterie life is like on this?

​I Emailed HP because I couldn't find my original XP Disks to reinstall on my laptop once I'd wiped it, they said no problem you don't need an operating system on it, otherwise if have just put Linux on it. I've had both claims validated and just waiting for money to get in bank (45 days)

Sorry for the totally stupid question but what is the storage like on this laptop? Can it hold plenty of photos and videos?

Yes, that is very true.

But that is only the last resort and only if the user do not need the DVD-RW.

I will try to get confirmation of SATA anyway. It is good to find out if there are more options open.

hi can someone tell me if i can trade in 10.1 inch seller or manufacturer refurbished tablet for this laptop or it should b new one?

"128GB M.2 SATA SSD is using the M.2 slot. You may be able to put in a 2.5 inch HDD for storage. But I have not got confirmation about that."

At worst, just replace the CD caddy with a HD caddy.

How do I do the £50 cashback? I can see the £125 one (needs a serial so need to receive the laptop one first), butwhen I go to the £50 link, it shows the laptop but nowhere to put a claim in?

Thank you.

Check if the space and SATA connector both there, please.

Wow, that is a bold move.

Good for you that they worked out for you.

I always thought they have to have everything working, so they can switch on and test.

From your experience, may be they do not have to be.

But it is a risk though.

I'm very tempted by the HP EliteBook 840 G2 Laptop (i5 5th gen) - £795 with total trade-in & cashback it brings it easily under £500. Do you think this is better value than HP Probook 450 G3?

Thanks in advance.

Too many numbers

I am totally agree with you. The SATA should be there as there are other 450 G3 use SATA HDD instead of M.2 SSD. There is no reason why HP should take out the SATA connector.

But I have been wrong in the past on Probook 455 G3 with the free M.2 slot, and given wrong advice.

So before I say the SATA on 450 G3 is there, it is better to have confirmation from someone has the laptop.

Does the trade in need to have a working, registered OS on it?
If I wiped the hdd but still have the sticker is that good enough?

This post got me looking at the P5T14ET.

Will open the service door to see if there is space for a HDD tonight.

​I ordered believing (from google searches) that it does have a spare hdd connector, but i would still have the laptop even if it doesn't. Mine is due tomorrow so I will let you know.

If you look at page 35 in the service manual http://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c04825517-1.pdf it says 'The large service door provides access to the hard drive, memory modules, and optical drive' so surely it's still there and it's also mentioned on pages 39+40

So is there spare hdd connector or just m2 sata?

HAVE A WIN 7 OLD LAPTOP with some amd chip in it and 2gb of ram no sure how to check how old it is.

I bought this in December from HP when it was £402. I sent in an old XP working laptop and received my £150 trade in (as it was over £400). I got confirmation of the £50 cash back last week. Just make out you're a sole trader and put your name down as the Company.

Not sure if the option is available now but I bought a 3 year on-site support warranty for £42 on the HP site too.

Fair enough :smiley:

see post 25.

People contacted HP in the past. HP answered can claim both.

So we bought HP laptops, claimed both. No one ask any questions. Both cashbacks received fine.

Just ignore that rule when consider both cashback and trade-up cashback. If you are not comfortable please contact HP.


Not sure if both cashbacks can be combined with other promotions.

And what about the Operating System, can it be any OS ?

What are people putting for "Customer Type" on the trade in form?

The options are just "business" or "school"?

I don't know how people will be successful claiming the cashback and trade-in.

It states in the cashback section:

"This offer may not be combined with any other promotion."

Surely claiming both is a combination?

You are correct.

Unless someone is not plan to get trade-up cashback, so it would not matter.

I am also not sure if discount code will invalidate cashback. Anyone in doubt please contact HP.

yeah, not worth doing as you'd lose £25 on the trade in.
4% quidco is worth going through however

That might mean you can only get the trade in reward of £100 because its under £350

Would this invalidate any of the other offers?

Apply this for a further 4% off:

BQ216HPAF63

Probably good for those not wishing to take the trade in offer, bringing the total to £286.38 after the £50 cashback.

Even this seems a really good price for this laptop.

I'm in! thanks huangxq2. Does anyone know if the desktop trade in is just the tower unit, or do I need to send in keyboard, mouse, monitor etc?

£20 deduction for the battery then.

I have always give them fully working device. I got full amounts for the 5 laptops I applied for. So I am not sure how good they check everything.

You buy qualify HP products, you can trade in any brands. There is no restriction on brand re the old device you give to HP.

Doesn't mention the brand in the terms, I'm sending in an Asus and have read others have sent Dell's etc

"For your Trade-in to qualify for the promotion it must be a working, complete and undamaged, (reasonable wear and tear accepted) Laptop (minimum 10” screen size), Tablet (minimum 9” screen size) or Desktop. Your Trade-in must be no more than 6 years old (age limitations are not applicable to genuine Microsoft XP computers) and complete with all accessories including working battery and power supply where applicable".

Thanks alot, pretty sure it came with it - it has a sticker "Designed for Windows XP - Windows Vista compatible".

The only thing is that the battery doesn't hold a charge at all and powers off without mains power.

I noticed this in the terms - so in my case there may be a deduction for the battery not working.

Non qualifying trade-ins will be subject to the following deductions:
Battery worn out / failed £20
Cracked / damaged casing / Heavily Scratched £20
Dead Motherboard £50
Missing 1 or more keys from keyboard £10
Missing/ Failed Power Supply £20
Permanent marking (etched / asset tag) £20
Power on password locked Not eligible for promotion

I stand corrected, read it in another description..

I thought you could only trade in HP products. In my case I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro, with Windows 7, would this one be eligible ?
Thanks in advance, Pedro

Thanks for clearify.

That is even better.

I would think upgrade to Win 10 Pro (if needed) is easier than trying to back from Win10 Pro to Win7 Pro.

I found Win7 Pro very good. I do not plan to upgrade to Win10 Pro any time soon.

Yes, it will qualify.

If the laptop/PC originally comes with XP, there is no age restriction. You only to make sure it is fully working.

​I have one of these - win pro 7 is preinstalled, they provide discs with OS and drivers to replace with win pro 10

I know you've answered this before but if I have a genuine XP laptop that is more than 6 years old it will qualify?

Thanks in advance.

I have a old but immaculate Dell lattitude C400 with Windows 2000 professional wolud that count as a trade in?

You are always welcome.

Great to know, thanks.

thanks for the reply. I will probably stick to the one I bought last week (A10). I rarely, if at all, use the laptop anywhere without the power supply so the battery life isn't an issue for me. Prefer to have the extra power and storage (even though not ssd). Thanks again!

Just had one of these delivered for a fella in work. Good for the cash if you have an old XP base unit about.

That was there before.

There were a lot discussions about that last year.

In the end, we claimed both. HP did not even ask a question about it.

I thought the same as you too. But I have been given evidence it is not the case in the past.

450/455 are the same form and cases. Both have room for SATA and M.2.

450 G2 has HDD, and has a free M.2.

455 G3 has HDD, and the M.2 connector is actually taken out, just a empty space there.

450 G3 has M.2 SSD, does the SATA connector stay?


I would think that 450 G3 using M.2, the SATA connector should still be there. But I cannot be sure if HP has not taken it out. Which is why I would like confirmation before I states it as absolute.

Certainly seems to be stated as the case https://hpcashback.com/gb/en/pages/cashback/terms

3. This offer may not be combined with any other promotion.

Whether or not they abide by this is another matter but it would certainly seem that you can't combine the promotions and therefore the OP should be changed to reflect this.

Would still be a good deal mind.

I see, I read it wrong.

Do you know the answer regarding put in a 2.5 inch HDD?

It says in the description, 'Windows 7 Professional 64 (available through downgrade rights from Windows 10 Pro 64)'.

Thanks, wouldn't the slots in each of the different models be the same though?

Probooks are really top computers, love mine.

Just looking terms seems you can have double discount.

"This offer may not be combined with any other promotion."

so it's either trade in or the £50.

That is a different version with i5-5200u and HDD. 450 G3 has many versions. I have seen HDD version at £270, but cashback not available.

P5T14ET is the unique model number.

Thanks buddy.

Good to know. Thank you. Then HP website information need to be updated.

If you already have the exact laptop, could you open the back and let us know if it has a free SATA connector and room for a 2.5 inch HDD?

I really like Win7 Pro.

How is Win10 Pro?

Probook 450 G3 Review

On this link if you scroll down to 'Storage device and memory card reader', it says and shows there is a spare m2 slot - the laptop being reviewed has a normal HDD in it so does that mean the one in this thread should have a spare SATA if the m2 is being used?

This or this?

http://www.ebuyer.com/735558-hp-250-g4-laptop-t6p47ea-abu

Sure, certainly.

On tablet, no age restriction, no restriction on brand, no restriction on system.

As long as not less than 9 inch and fully working.

Hi thanks for your post.

Would a Hp 9.7" Web OS tablet qualify for trade in?

Is it definitely a G3? I'm looking at the site and it says the G3 is £500, while this link has no G3 label on it

I see tablets qualify too. I wonder would they accept my HP Touchpad

Ignore the HP pavillion at £300, the other business laptops are so much better.





CPU: I expect the A10 should be slightly more powerful, not a lot.

GPU: Not sure, both are quite good for integrated, have not seen direct comparision, I have only seen compare to A8 R6 and HD Graphics 520 is better.

Memory: A10 has 8GB, this one has 4GB. Memory can be upgraded easily and cheaply. My suggestion is do not put too much emphasis on memory when come to computer if it can be upgraded. (There are some laptops has RAM soldered to the motherboard.)

There are some models put in 16GB RAM unnecessarily, and ask for lot of money. And people see 16GB RAM and thought it is high end and just jump on the deal. It is a mis-perception by a lot of people.

Battery: i3 should have more than 7 hours, A10 is 3 hours.

Price: i3 is very good if you get all cashbacks.

Storage: The A10 only has a SATA, it comes with 1TB HDD. If you want SSD, the HDD needs to come out.
The i3 has 128GB M.2 SATA SSD, the M.2 SSD is more expensive than 1TB HDD. You might be able to put in a 2.5 inch HDD for storage if there is a free SATA connector. I do not have conformation of this yet.

If I am to choose from those two, I would go for the i3. I always got all HP cashbacks, never had problem. Good battery, fast M.2 SSD, powerful too, option to expand storage (let's hope), and cheap.

If you can get all cashbacks, you really cannot get anything better for £175. Even you only get it to £300, I still think it is very good consider i5-5200u with HDD is £330.

Doh! If brains were dynamite, I'd be safe!

Thanks a lot for your replies. Looks like I have a purchase to make !!

Exactly.

A lot people seem have questions about cashback. I give a little summary below hope to clear things up. They are from last time I read it. I have not re-read, please double check and let me know if anything changed.

£125 trade-up cashback

2. Tablet not less than 9 inch, laptop not less than 10 inch.

3. If you trade in PC/laptop originally comes with Win XP, no age restriction.
If you trade in PC/laptop originally comes with system other than XP, no more than 6 years old.

Cheapest way, you have an old one not needed.

The next is by a xp laptop off ebay for £20-30, a lot work because you have to make sure everything is fully function (battery etc).

The easiest way if you do not have an old device, is to buy a 9 inch tablet for less than £50, you only need to make sure the tablet is fully working. 2nd hand cheap ones especially those from China, or Nook HD+ from CeX.

I posted the G2 version a while back. There is some good tips on upgrading the laptop on that posting:

Wow, that's just what I want to do, but how did you get round the fact the Dell desktop isn't on the qualifying products list? I need to be absolutely confident of getting the cashback before I go for it.

I sent them a really old Dell XP Desktop which was ancient, picked it up from Gumtree for a fiver......

What's the problem? Do you simply want to get the discount then sell the new laptop on :wink:

Sorry to hijack this but do you know if this one:

is better than the one I got last week?

You can still send them an old XP computer, I did this and got the full amount of Cashback

Trade up Terms and Conditions

Individual end user can claim.

It says "Purchases must be made between 24th November 2015 and 29th February 2016" in the how it works section. Anyone claimed it for a March purchase?

I thought trade up was for only business users or can anyone claim it ??

Do you have to purchase direct from HP in order to claim the various cash back offers as it is cheaper elsewhere. thanks

Noooooo, I don't need another laptop! What are the minimum requirements for the trade in?
