PS: the horizontal strip of deals has offered that are not always shown further down the page, so check those as well if you see anything of interest.
FREE 27″ Samsung CF398 Curved Monitor with select Samsung Notebook 9 PRO laptop purchases ($850 to $1200)
A trio of Notebook 9 PRO laptops are eligible for FREE 27″ Samsung CF398 Curved Monitor at the Samsung website. Use your browser’s search function to search for “CF398” on that page, or slowly skim and scan the info dump to find them 🙂 The three eligible laptops range from $850 to $1200. The monitor is added automatically to your shopping cart for FREE while this promotion is running. There’s no coupon, no rebate!
If you want to research the monitor, this is its product page. Do not add the monitor to the shopping cart from this page. I’m only including it for reference. If you page further down on that page, you’ll also find the PDF user manual of the monitor.
As far as I can tell, only these three models are eligible for the free monitor.

Monoprice is having a sale on 22 Desktop Computer Monitors, with prices ranging from $150 to $250, ranging from 24″ to 32″ in size, with the majority of them at 27″ and 28″. These are all Monoprice house brand computer monitors.
Running for Sunday only, coupon code STRING gets you 15% off eligible products at the Monoprice website. No minimum purchase required to use the coupon. I haven’t checked the 22 computer monitors above with the coupon. Typically (but not always) sale items are not eligible for coupon discounts, but it happens enough times if you are interested in buying a particular item, it doesn’t hurt to try the coupon.
Google Pixelbook + $50 Gift Card + 6 months of Netflix for $899
The early bird catches the Pixelbook! The new condition Google Pixelbook (i5, 8GB, 128GB) is on sale for $899 (instead of starting price of $999) at Amazon by Amazon itself with up to three per customer at the sale price. But that’s not all, you also get a FREE $50 Amazon Gift Card. Simply add both the Pixelbook and the $50 gift card to the shopping cart and proceed to checkout. While this offer is running, the price of the gift card will be automatically deducted by the shopping cart.
This only applies to the Pixelbooks sold and shipped by Amazon itself – as it is often the case with these type of promotions. You can find the offer mentioned under the “Special offers and product promotions” part of the product page.
The bundle with the Pixelbook Pen is also discounted by $100 but does not get the $50 Amazon gift card. But fear not, you can buy the Pixelbook Pen on its own for $99, which is the difference between the two bundles anyway.
256GB PIXELBOOK
UPDATE: this dropped to $1100…
The 256GB Pixelbook is discounted too, from $1200 to $1100 [WAS $1120] and it is also eligible for the FREE $50 Amazon Gift Card. The bundle with the Pixelbook Pen goes for $99 more and does not get the free gift card, so if interested you can buy the Pixelbook Pen on its own for $99…
PRIME STUDENTS
IF you are a PRIME STUDENT, they have a promotion that gets you 10% off. I don’t have a Prime Student account, so I can’t test it.
AFTER YOU RECEIVE THE LAPTOP
The above are what Amazon gives you. After you receive the laptop and activate it, and BEFORE 12/31/17, you can get the FREE Chromebook Offers. The Pixelbook is eligible for:
+ 6 months of Netflix (a $66~ store credit)
+ two years of additional 100GB Google Drive
+ $60 game currency for the Asphalt 8 game
ALTERNATIVES
This is currently sold-out: For about half the price of the Pixelbook, you can get the Samsung Chromebook PRO which we mentioned a couple of days ago and it continues to be in-stock. The PLUS continues to be out of stock.
IF you prefer Chromebooks from other than these companies, there are a few more that participate in the $50 Gift Card promotion as well…
