I am thinking of getting a dell laptop a 6000 inspirion model and they have this 750 off an 1899 purchase. Seems like a really good deal, is this as good as it gets?

Or should i hold out another month or 2 and see if a better deal comes along. Also is there anyway to combine more 2 or more coupons together?

I was also wondering if any of you guys know how good the tv tuner card is for the 6000 model or if i should just pass on it. Beecause i don't want to end up getting it and the picture comes out fuzzy blurry or really crappy.

 

Jump on this deal mang. I just purchased a Inspiron 9300 last week and got it delivered over the weekend. Those coupons are the bomb and you get a lot of bang for your buck. The coupons won't be around forever and seemingly hasn't changed all summer, so if you have the bucks, go get one. Also check out these websites:

They always sell at a tier prices (don't know if there's a term for it) so usually the top tiers will sell at a price range, and the mid-tier at another price range and so on. As the specs change over time they rarely move a machine up or down in price. Rather they re-package the machines with newer specs to keep them in their respective tiers.

Long and short of it...the price of a Dell laptop today will probably be the same as 2 months from now ... maybe you'll get some upgraded add-ons for waiting.

I don't think they allow more than 1 coupon but I could be wrong.

Go to cnet.com or something like that to get hardware reviews for things like tv tuners.

 

Usually they don't allow you to combine coupons, so find the best one and use it.

i have decided that i will just wait and check out a few laptops at stores and see what i like. from what i hear from ppl i know , dell's aren't the most reliable and I will consider getting a sony or a fujitsu because i hear those monitors resemble the flatscreen crt monitors (sony - xbrite) that have much clearer picture quality.

 

I've worked on Dells, Toshibas, IBM and Sony. I currently like Sony's design the most. Personally I own a Dell laptop for the price. I just don't like buying distributed products since its more expensive cus of the mark-up going to the vendor. But at least you can touch and feel the product before you make your final decision.

Dell sells direct so the price is often better than on comparable machines. But you can't test drive a Dell so you just have to hope u got it right once you open that FedEx box.

Good luck!

 

I got my 6000 about a year ago. I upgraded it a little bit (tripled the RAM and a few other options). I got it for $808 shipped. The $750 deal is as low as they go on the 6000.

 

what should I get, 6000 or 700m?

 

I believe man diff btwn those machines are size. Do you need an ultra-light or not? I just recently set up an 700m...I like it but keyboard is too small for heavy duty work. But size is decently small and light enough to carry around without breaking your back.

 

Anyone know when the next one will be??

 

FYI - Google Spills the Beans on Dell's Upcoming Core Duo Notebooks

Upcomoing "Core Solo" machines are listed as well.

I have the 700M, I like it.

 

I ordered a PC for my friend last week, he got a great deal, and this looks like a great deal as well. Jump on it!

 

Am I the only one waiting for the new OS (Vista) to come out before making the purchase?

 

I need a new laptop, mine is done. With 650 off I can get a pretty good 700m for 1654.

 

No your not, i want to buy a nice Gamers PC/ with a AMD chip, but i'll wait it out until Vista

 

I just don't want to buy a new one and have Vista out 3 months later and have a out of date per say brand new computer..

 

You have time until Vista comes out.

 

I can wait another few months..

 

700M, its small and portable, the 6000 is too big to carry and what's the point of a laptop if you can't carry it around.

 

Don't wait for Vista, it'll have higher requirements than XP but not overwhelming. They haven't gave solid requirements yet. Late 2004 computer technology will run it, minor upgrades possible.

 

Same as Dual Core (E1705)? You can get $650 off one.

 

Wife approved - Dude Im getting a Dell....

 

Ok, about to push the checkout button on a 700m.....Stop me now Azine if this is a mistake.....

 

bump

 

i got my 700m last august for $804 shipped.

my brother got his business model 700m (upgraded processor 2.1 Ghz vs my 1.7 Ghz, more ram, and the upgraded battery) for $16xx.

Check out this one. Got it off gotapex.com. Looks like a pretty good deal to me.

Good choice on the hard drive! When I ordered my laptop that drive wasn't out yet, I wish it was...you f'er

 

The 710 had it as an option, the 700 didn't

 

Just pull the trigger you panzy.. wtf..

 

pfft, I needed you an hour ago....

 

Vista is worth waiting for.....We are in the process of designing our software download to run Vista. (Dell manufacturing)

It should be available to the public this summer.....The sreen shots are great.

 

i just got a new d410..not real happy with it. seems flimsy compared with my old t30 thinkpad

 

I don't even see it listed on the site.

 

I love my 700m, forget anything bigger. This is the perfect size for airplane travel. Even when the fat ass in front of me reclines, I can still have it fully open. They had the DVD burner when I got my 700m, but I didn't get it as my desktop has one that will smoke it. I did add the bigger battery + the standard for $129. Works great, I only use the big one on plane/car trips and the little one the rest of the time. I got mine when they were doing that awesome $750 off $1500

A guy I worked with got a 6000 a month before I got my 700m. He curses everytime he sees mine, says he wishes he would have done that instead. I was going to do a Sony S series, but it was $2900 for the same thing as my $900 Dell....screw that!

Friends don't let friends buy big laptops. My girlfriend hates mine, I just tell her to go get hers then. "But mine is heavy..."

I think all the Latitudes are flimsy, cheap, cookie cutter laptops. The Inspirons seem better to me even though everyone says the Latitudes are...

The X1 is sweet, but too small. Needs to have drives, etc built in nowadays.
