I think that is only available direct. The retail channel has large distributors between HP and itself and likely no way to apply such discounts. I’m not 100% sure, but I’m pretty sure it’s just HP Direct. The discount would be tied to your HP ID. That said, I’d review all alternatives.

Warranty support is different from someone away from home, on a college campus, etc. Does the college your are going to support HP directly? If they have HP-certified techs, then it’s great, because they can order hardware parts and give you warranty support. If they have techs certified in something else, like Dell, Apple, etc, you may want to buy that. Something to consider. Find the number for student computer support for your school and see what they do. Make your decision based on that. We’ve become too dependent on our laptops to get by, and sending your machine in a box, away for 2 weeks or more should not be in the cards.
