Good hunting =)

Holy shit.

I might have to check this out, because I've been seroiusly looking for a laptop.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Scoobert]

Kind of late. Dell even took off the best laptop, the 9100.

 

[Meier]

Got a Inspiron 5160 (3.20GHz, 533MHz FSB) priced at 1502 after the rebate.. thinking I might pull the trigger.

 

[Particle Physicist]

whats the difference between centrino, pentium m and pentium 4 .. and which one is the best for a laptop ?

 

[Nerevar]

I put together a laptop that was at $2,200, put in the $750 rebate - and then it upped the price to $2,800, so the final price was only $150 less! What a lame deal.

 

[element]

pentium m is the way to go. slower clock, but actually is faster and runs cooler.

Lol did you use an Inspiron? Did you do a lot of upgrading?

Actually Pentium 4 is the best, for gaming anyways.

 

[BigGreenMat]

yeah it doesn't stack with the 10% off instantly offer. Is there anyway to choose your coupon over the 10% off offer?

 

[Particle Physicist]

which is dells smallest laptop? i want something small and cheap.

 

[Scoobert]

It's supposed to override the 10% off, wonder if the deal is dead. Looks like it is dead.

 

[Meier]

It's not dead. You have to put in the coupon listed at the top of that link. I built a decent system for ~$1440 or so which came to around $1600 after shipping/tax (so $1550 after MIR).

Man oh man am I tempted to get that 600m.

 

[yoshifumi]

holy shit i wish i had money

 

[Argyle]

Dead to me - coupon no longer eligible for 600m/700m and a few other models. (was looking at the 700m, myself, oh well)

 

[Scoobert]

Yup, Dell changed the deal now:

Dell Home Customers: Save $750 on select Inspiron™ notebook purchases $1500 or more (before tax and shipping)! (affiliate only online offer) Offer not available on Inspiron 700m and 8600. (as of 3:00pm CST) Inspiron 5160 & 600m (as of 6:00pm CST).

It was great if you got in early and got a 9100 for $800.

 

[Meier]

Glad I pulled the trigger when I did.

 

[drohne]

aw fuck. my sister needed a new laptop, and one of those 700m's would've been nice.

 

[BioFan]

need help on my decision...hehe
built an inspirion XPS Pentium-4 3.4GHz HT, 15.4" WUXGA, 1GB DDR, 60GB Drive, 24x CDRW/DVD, Radeon 9800 258MB, at $2100, total price with shipping and tax $2311. I have been thinking to upgrade my system. Should I get the deal or just get a desktop??
Primarily working at home.

[edit]
I'm a 3D artist, so prob the XPS would be the best dell laptop for me. But I guess I could save a lot if I get a dasktop. But $750 off is just too good hehehe. Or would the price of laptops will go down any soon?
