Samson Cables has a few HP 15C Limited Edition Message #1 Posted by Philippe Cairic on 18 Oct 2012, 8:00 p.m. If anybody missed the train, there's another chance. I just secured one today, so now I can spread the word ;-) $119.99. Quantities are limited. Product page at Samson Cables PS: I am in no way affiliated to Samson Cables, just sharing the find.

HP 15C Quality Limited Edition Message #2 Posted by Alexander Oestert on 19 Oct 2012, 7:35 a.m., in response to message #1 by Philippe Cairic Quote: Quantities are limited. That should say "quality limited, too" :-( Edited: 19 Oct 2012, 7:36 a.m.

Fixed costs have been paid and the demand was obviously given. If there's still a stock, I think we can account this to the outrageous price SC and the like requests.

Re: Samson Cables has a few HP 15C Limited Edition Message #4 Posted by Michael de Estrada on 19 Oct 2012, 10:37 a.m., in response to message #3 by Thomas Radtke Thing is that the prices have dropped dramatically, and they are still not selling anymore. The highest price on TAS is $135 and there are plenty available. Actually, Samson currently has the lowest TAS price. Once the novelty wore off and the quality did not meet expectations, the market demand dried up.

Re: Samson Cables has a few HP 15C Limited Edition Message #5 Posted by Thomas Radtke on 19 Oct 2012, 11:12 a.m., in response to message #4 by Michael de Estrada Ok. I had the initial price I paid in mind, below $90 iirc. Out of interest, I'll try to follow the SC price until stock is sold out.

Re: Samson Cables has a few HP 15C Limited Edition Message #6 Posted by Bill Duncan on 22 Oct 2012, 3:06 p.m., in response to message #5 by Thomas Radtke Is Samson Cables a reliable supplier? Unfortunately, the display on my old hp-15c is getting to be unusable (creeping black in the LCD). Also, is the new version a worthwhile replacement? Thanks!

Re: Samson Cables has a few HP 15C Limited Edition Message #7 Posted by BobVA on 22 Oct 2012, 6:23 p.m., in response to message #6 by Bill Duncan The reissue had some problems with the keyboard, which I believe were sorted out in later production (typically keys registering two entries for one press). I had one replaced (quite promptly) under warranty for that problem. Katie collected and posted this bug list a while back that you should look over to see if there are any deal breakers for you. That said, I use mine all the time and find it to be a good replacement for the older version, warts and all. It is *extremely* fast compared to the original, which has a quality all of its own :-) Bob Edited: 22 Oct 2012, 6:26 p.m.

Re: Samson Cables has a few HP 15C Limited Edition Message #8 Posted by Nick_S on 23 Oct 2012, 2:33 a.m., in response to message #6 by Bill Duncan Quote: Is Samson Cables a reliable supplier? I bought three HP 15C Limited Editions and they arrived in Greece after being sent to the wrong country (France) by the U.S. Postal Service. Samson Cables were helpful in tracing the error and keeping me informed as the package was rerouted to me. I was also fortunate that none had keyboard issues even though they were from early production run. Nick Edited: 23 Oct 2012, 2:35 a.m.
