My naive reading is the difference here is HP slapped a discount sticker on it without changing the price.

Where Kohls, et. al. set the price extremely high and then always have it "on sale."

Now, how companies get away with doing the same thing for Black Friday, no idea

the difference is HP is the actual manufacturer who sets MSRP. I don't think Kohls manufactures anything, they are just a retailer.
