you guys can check out www.techbargains.com for some decent deals on laptops. they had some nice dell ones a week or two ago, but they have one now for a 2ghz celeron for ~900. keep checking it once in a while, you might be able to get a better deal. but the one you posted doesnt sound too bad, i bet it runs hot like a mofo though.

Yes they do. ![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
From the Company internal website, you use a different link on the Intranet and build from there.
The dell website(s) are the greatest. I actually had another computer built and purchased and the very next day, I learned about the Sprint discount. Cancelled the work-in-progress and built a better computer for less.
Today's status for my Dell laptop just turned to "Shipped".![EEK!](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
I'll let you know how I like it when I get it.

Alright I just finshed paying for the exact same config as above but: 256mg ram instead of your 384. And I got the SXVGA+ and a 3 year warranty Total w/tax/shipped: $1407.68
I feel like I got ripped off for some reason, I was only planning on spending ~$1200
