To find the final price after the discount has been applied, we need to compare the two incentives.
First, let's calculate the discount for the first incentive: 25% off of $299 = $74.75.
Second, let's calculate the discount for the second incentive: $70 rebate on $299 = $299 - $70 = $229.
Now, let's compare the two discounts: $74.75 vs $229.
Since $74.75 is smaller than $229, the 25% off discount is the better incentive.
Therefore, the final price of the computer after the discount from the better incentive has been applied is $299 - $74.75 = $224.25. Answer: $\boxed{224.25}$.
Consider the following two monetary incentives when purchasing a desktop computer at the regular price of $299.
25% Off All Desktops with Regular Price of $200 or More.
$70 Rebate on Any Purchase of $200 or More.
