the samething is happening to me too.

i originally configured the 700m and it worked, then i went and configured the 6000 instead and it isnt working anymore, im so pissed, so now i dont have any laptop....

damn it....

 

damn it..i woke up extra early for nothing

 

My coworker tried a little while ago... coupon expired!

It's confirmed, Dell just told Fat Wallet:

"The 10,000 units were sold in 45 Minutes"

 

oh well, i didnt REALLY need a laptop, i just wanted one....guess that is money in my pocket now..... haha!!!

 

True, but we'll never get back the sleep they stole from us... lol

 

CRAP! I wanted a new laptop. Not that my existing one isn't uh... 4 months old.

 

This is what I got

well i'm at work, so ive been up since 730am anyways....but yeah i am still mad i didnt get one.....it was gonna be a new TOY for me....

 

I went ahead and ordered the 700m. If I like it, I might offer my 600m from the last sale Dell had. I want to compare the two first, then I will sale one of them.


It actually took 42 min and 13 sec. I just got the email.

 

I was getting ERROR about 8 Times, than finally it went through, I heard I wasnt alone, many people were getting errors

 

they do, seems that their platform is not supporting all the concurrent users.

 

I think this relates to your post....at 8:03am Our servers were hosting approx 100k customers, that does not count our 55k employees worldwide that might have been on.

 

tell your co-workers to get the fvck off next time!

 

got my 600m....its nuts how fast that coupon code got used up....

 

You kidding. The employees probably bought half of the 10k. We get the 750 off plus our epp discount.

 

Probably the best day of the year for Dell in terms of employees getting to work on time

No wonder they went so fast.

 

I got the error screen 2 or 3 times (went back and forth)........but in the end I managed to pick up a loaded 6000.

 

That's crazy that the 10,000 limit was reached in 45 minutes.

 

holy crap nice computer that 1 gig ram and a 256mb of video memory nice.

 

damn, can't believe i missed out on this.

 

for anyone that missed out dell will probably have the same deal again. they had the same deal last oct or nov and it went just as quick.

 

 

nah the last one went on much longer.. i remember buying my 600m sometime in the afternoon

 

You are correct. Last time we sold almost 80k

 

employees should be excluded

 

 

Ironic part is that I can buy 5 systems per qtr on my coupon as long as I order at the same time. I offered to my family and no one took me up on it.

 

This is what I got!

I bought it without the $750 off ($500 off coupon instead), so it was $1050 total with a photo printer.

 

^^^Good deal.

 

Got mine yesterday. Put XP Pro on it right away. The touchpad worked without reinstalling drivers, but I did need to put the graphics drivers, SD card driver, and networking drivers on.

Very cool little computer. I took a pic with a cd on it so you can see how small it is. Its pretty light. It runs fast and seems like a very well built machine. My only gripe so far is that the right/left 'mouse' buttons under the touchpad feel kind of cheap, they have a little play in them.

 

Got my Inspiron 6000 today but the donkeys packed it with the wrong battery charger. Then I had to talk to some outsouced tech that I could barely understand. Oh well I hope the charger will get to me in the next 2 days.
