On Wednesday, Dell will offer $750 Inspiron laptops when you spend $1499, so basically half off. I did this the last time it was offered, in November.

 

Just bought a Sony Vaio 4 pounder yesterday.

 

You know this for a fact? I just ordered an Inspiron 700m yesterday. Came to $1550 - $500 coupon for $1050.

If I were to cancel this order and resubmit on Wednesday, it would be $250 cheaper?

 

According to Techbargains, the coupon will be offered Wednesday at 6 a.m. ET. I did the same thing back in November -- ordered it with the smaller coupon, and then saw the $750 off coupon. I reordered it, and refused to take the delivery of the first one since it had already shipped.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I canceled my order, and now when I place it again on Wednesday I can double my memory and upgrade the cpu and come out even

 

I got one of those.....teenie tiny little thing isn't it?

 

Sony S series?

 

wait, you have to buy 1499$ worth of dell shit to get this deal? 1499 at dell is like 3 computers and 3 19" LCD displays though isn't it?

 

The coupon is good only on laptops.

 

why is there such a difference for the same computer in dell home, small business, and education sections?

 

and corporate,

their prices vary.

 

It's sexy and so cool....

$1600.... you can build an inspiron 700m that has better specs (better processor, more memory, lighter, bettery battery) for HALF the price of that.

I'd take the Sony over the Dell if they were equal prices, or maybe I'd pay a little more for the Sony, but no way in hell would I pay double.

 

That VAIO S360 is pretty nice. I've got a S150, the first S series to come out, for 2100 with a 3 yr best buy warranty. Worth every penny. I was in the market for that Dell 700m too, but was turned away because I was anticipating the new X-Brite technology, and also VAIO's have come through for me with my two previous computers.

Either way with a Dell or VAIO you would not have gone wrong, but I like the VAIO more because of it's sleek look and the quality.

 

I wish I knew about these deals back in the day. I bought a Asus S5n and although its crazy tiny, the size of a 1 subject notebook 1.85lbs, it looks like the Dell would have had more power. Plus it was $1300 when I got it and thought I was getting a deal.

 

This site always has deals on Dell stuff http://www.deals2buy.com/
I found my $30 copy of Halo 2 threw it.

 

Where did you throw it? :rimshot:

 

Yeah so I got a D- in English.

Not where I am sitting. The one for $1760 comes close..

Sony / Dell
Processor = 1.7 GHZ / 1.6 GHZ - +1 Sony
Memory = 512 MB / 512 MB - Tie
HD = 80 GB / 60 GB +1 - Sony
Burner = Non DVD / DVD +1 - Dell
NIC = Interal G / Internal G - Tie
Display = X-Brite / Non-X Brite +1 - Sony
Weight = 4.2 lbs / 4.1 lbs - Tie (yes, I know)

So why is the more expensive Dell better???

 

just remember to get on the computer to order it....gotapex.com is saying that it's only good for the first 10,000 uses and that last time it was used up in hours. it also says it will open up at 8am cst.....go there and get the coupon code.

 

But didnt the OP say that the price would be reduced by half on wednesday. So in that case, the dell would be around 900, which is much less than 1600.

 

If it's true. Also, factor in shipping from Dell. Im not saying that the Dell is a bad deal, the config is not as good aas the Sony.

 

because Dell has $750 off coupon.

 

coupon is good, and free shipping.

I'm not knocking your computer, I'd take it over the Dell for around the same price. I'm buying this Dell to replace my old Dell notebook that is crapping out on me. Just saying the price on the Dell gives it + 50 in my book.

 

Ok so if i spend $1499.00 on dell, they will offer me $750 insprion laptops in ADDITION to the $1499.00 correct? Also is this deal goin to last entire wednesday or only in the morning or so... thanks for the info...

 

and from what I've read the Dell "truelife" widescreen on the 700m is comparable to the XBrite. Someone on here said its the same exact screen, haven't confirmed that.

 

:verd: and :verd:

 

10,000 coupon uses... will be probably be all used by lunchtime.

 

i guess it starts at 6am ET....sucks cause that's like 3am here in AZ. but first 10,000 uses...

 

ok so back to my question earlier, do they offer this deal IF u spend $1499.00 or more???

 

sorry to beat a dead horse....but one more thing...

this dell for $1760 includes 4 years of Dell 'at home' service ($369) and a shitload of unnecessary software. remove that crap and the DVD burner (which sony doesnt have), and upgrade the hard drive to 80GB and the CPU to a 1.8 ghz pentium m (better than the sony), and its...


$882 shipped.

 

deal starts at 6AM PST, 9AM EST.

 

Well, hold on... I am looking at the coupon info (below) and it doesn't really say you can use it for any Inspiron.

HOT! DellHome - $750 off $1499+ Inspiron Coupon Coming TOMORROW! (Posted by: Apex)
Folks, it`s coming back! Starting tomorrow morning at 8am CST (that`s 6am PST), Dell Home will have a $750 off a $1499+ Inspiron laptop coupon. It will be limited to only 10,000 uses! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come here early, and buy as fast as you can. Last time they did this, it lasted a few hours. This time will probably go quicker. Do NOT miss out. Tell your friends, family, coworkers, ANYONE who will listen. Again, Wednesday (4/13/05) at 8am CST!

 

$1499 or more ON an Inspiron laptop. then you get 750 off that computer.

you can't buy three 20" screens and then get $750 off an 800 dollar computer.

 

Thanks for the heads up. Now do you have to sign up for their at home service or anything else like that? Or is this just a free and clear coupon?

Thanks again TLover,

Troy

 

$750 off $1499+ Inspiron


Since it doesn't specify any particular model of Inspiron, I'm assuming that means I can use it for the 700m. I better be able to...

 

www.gotapex.com is a good site that lists a lot of the dell specials...

 

This is a "use your Tax Refund money and take one of our overstocked laptops; we are bringing new models soon" coupon.

 

Assume = well, you know Well see tomorrow when the coupon comes out. I am happy with the Sony. I actually almost got this little guy, but my fingers were too big for the keyboard

 

lol....i like that description...just that to "qualify" for some of them you have to sign up for like 3yrs of their service and support....
