RossMAN 11-26-2005, 3:23 PM Click here (http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/featured_basnb?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs)
On the far right click Customize It underneath the Inspiron B120 Basic Core System $399
Click Continue, Continue and make sure the FREE Dell Color Printer 720! is selected.
Use Paypal as your payment method and save $20 more with coupon code 1P002ZF2T7QPD0
Price is $379 - $100 mail-in rebate = $379 + shipping & tax for most states
For $50 more you can get double the RAM (512MB) and WiFi 802.11b/g card. During step #2 select the $449 system instead of the $399 system.
I would highy recommend this upgrade.

Are you getting the $399 with 256MB/No WiFi or $449 with 512MB/WiFi?
RossMAN 11-26-2005, 3:37 PM OP updated with $20 off coupon code!
VonnegutFan 11-26-2005, 3:38 PM Excuse me as I drool about the second one.
VonnegutFan 11-26-2005, 3:39 PM Oh, and for anyone interested Paypal is great, I use it all the time :).
I liked the last deal better. Helped my friend get in on it through the military web site and she could upgrade more and tweek it a bit more to what she wanted and with the military no tax and no shipping. I wish Gottadeal could have gotten credit that way though :( They did get credit for several things I bought though through the site and I am about to help hook my civillan friend up with a dell desktop and will get her to do it through the Gottadell link to Dell. They have any hot desktop deals to?
RossMAN 11-26-2005, 3:42 PM Excuse me as I drool about the second one.
Double the RAM (512MB vs 256MB) and internal 802.11b/g WiFi for $50 more?
Definitely worth the upgrade and you don't have to open/install any of it yourself :groovin:

lindabacker 11-26-2005, 5:01 PM ok how do you get the upgrade for ram? It's not showing me that option.
Dust N Bones 11-26-2005, 5:49 PM Are you getting the $399 with 256MB/No WiFi or $449 with 512MB/WiFi?
I think I'm going to get the $449 one with 512MB and WiFi. Does Dell ever offfer deals like this on desktops? Myself and a few family members want to get my Mom a new desktop for X-Mas.
pjohnson55 11-26-2005, 7:38 PM ok how do you get the upgrade for ram? It's not showing me that option.
You have to choose the B120, entrylevel for $449. I bought this system yesterday, and upgraded to the one year warranty for an additional $29. It totaled out to $609 then they instant rebated me $150 so it ended up being:
Sub-Total $459.00
Shipping $ 49.
Tax $42.17
Total $550.17
without any rebates. They are so weird, I went back to the website 10 minutes later, and couldn't find the 120 anymore, now it's back up today, with different rebates applied.

Didn't the previous Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop charge an outrageous $69 for Lithium Ion batteries?

mee081224 11-27-2005, 7:12 AM 20 off is for orders of 200 or more not paypal ? i need a paypal coupon as i am using the a 45 off the order already
alimfp 11-27-2005, 7:17 AM 20 off is for orders of 200 or more not paypal ? i need a paypal coupon as i am using the a 45 off the order already
I'm not quite understanding your question? The laptop is $399 after $100 mail in rebate, or $379 after rebate and the $20 off Paypal coupon (code: 1P002ZF2T7QPD0). Since the $100 mail in rebate is not yet applied, it's $479 after Paypal coupon, so well over any $200 restriction there may or may not be?
What did you mean?
mee081224 11-27-2005, 9:24 AM or instead of using the paypal code you can buy a $45 off $400 E&A from ebay and save even more i just did :)

Integrated graphics, what would you expect in a budget laptop?
dannydkd 11-27-2005, 5:51 PM Have the Dell Computer laptop deals gone off already? I tried ordering one and
it gives me the regular price without the $100 off. Anybody know?

What "regular price" did you see?
Remember the $100 is a mail-in rebate and not an instant coupon or discount.

Shadybiz007 11-28-2005, 3:12 AM Doesn't the B120 have GMA900? I've never used a integrated graphics solution, however this is for the wife. All she plays is Second Life, Sims 2, Ultima Online, Eve Online, WoW, and recently Civ 4. Mostly online line games. Now I know Civ 4 won't prob play at all or very well, even on a I6000 (my next choice with a 128 x300).
How will those games fair? As long as there playable 25-30+ frames I don't think she would have a issue. I would like to know if anyone has a notebook with GMA900 and plays any of the games above.
Thanks!
Also 1gb ram would be installed almost immediately.
shaggy411 11-28-2005, 3:23 AM looks like the $449 deal is no longer available for the mail in rebate...it seems like they changed up the offer details for the rebate throughout the day..before it was for both value codes system 2 and 3 and then now it only shows for system 3 (the one on the far right, 256md, no wireless,)-crap....
i lost the chance to get the 512mb ram, wireless one, or so it seems?
Dork42775 11-28-2005, 9:57 AM Yeah i think it is dead. I had it in my cart ready to order but it disappeared. Oh well i guess i will hold out longer.

I am not sure if I did this right..is it not workinganymore? I'm not clear how to double the RAM and add the card?
labgeek 11-28-2005, 2:32 PM And it comes with a Lithium-Ion battery. That is a sweet deal Rossman!!!! That beats the Walmart and CC BF laptops. I think I'm going to order one.
It's a 4 Cell Li Ion battery - only 29 WHrs!
The 2200 had 2 choices of batteries - the 8 Cell NiMH at 43 WHrs and the 8 Cell Li Ion at 65 WHrs for $69 more (which btw for $79 you could keep the 8 Cell NiMh and get the Li Ion too). Just because its a Li Ion battery doesn't make it the same.
Personally I'd rather the 8 cell NiMH over a 4 Cell Li Ion (almost 50% longer runtime).
Dork42775 11-28-2005, 4:04 PM Actually the deal from yesterday is back up. The one with 512 MB of ram and the wireless card. I just ordered mine and it was $618 now and $518 after my mail-in rebate. Not too bad i just hate paying $49 in shipping charges.
RossMAN 11-28-2005, 4:10 PM Dork42775,
Can you list the complete specs?
Does your order confirmation show a $100 rebate with a rebate code? It has to show this, otherwise your rebate request will be declined.
Did you get a NiMH or LiON battery?
Congrats :)
Dork42775 11-28-2005, 4:21 PM Here is the link i followed. I just ordered it so it is not updated in the dell account summery yet.

Dork42775 11-28-2005, 4:27 PM The rebate form says that all i need is the a complete copy of my qualifying packing slip. I am not sure where this is located before the notebook arrives by mail but it does say that it will be in a clear plastic envelope attached to the package. The model # matches the $449 one ($549 before mail-in)listed one the web page.

Can you walk us through it.. clicking on links just takes me to the link that I was working on. it doesn't show me anything about what you are doing.
scottmso 11-28-2005, 5:01 PM Do not buy a Dell! Their products are very low quality and their service just BLOWS. Remember, you get what you pay for!
Dork42775 11-28-2005, 5:01 PM Just follow the link i posted earlier , select Inspiron B120
Basic Entry-Level that has the $100 off instantly+$100 off by mail-in rebate for a total of $449, then click customize it. I went through it and didnt change/click a thing other than continue, add to cart, and then checkout. After that it is preferred shipping and i will not export this. After you are finished with all of that you can enter the code for $20 off(even though i didnt use Paypal). It states nothing about the $100 mail-in after the first page though and on that page is where i printed out my rebate form. Hope this helps.
Dork42775 11-28-2005, 5:07 PM Also does anyone know what kind of ram/memory this is? In other words can i add to the existing 512mb and if so what kind is it(pc2700,pc3200,pc4200,etc...)? I would like to have at least 1GB so another 512mb would be great if it has 2 slots.
Dork42775 11-28-2005, 5:18 PM I am sorry for all of these posts but here is the specs and i looked at the rebate form and it says that if you are eligible for a rebate it will be inside your packing slip. It never mentions any code that is required. Actually after deleting some useless #'s in these specs it does say something about the rebate.

alimfp 11-28-2005, 9:36 PM Umm, no. Actually Dell makes some of the best laptops in the industry. Do not confuse their laptops with their desktop market, completely different story.
I totally agree!! I have a Dell Inspiron 8000 (6.5 years old approx). We bought it refurb'd from Dell's site about five years ago. Their customer service has rocked the few times we had to call them (and it was minor stuff, nothing really wrong w/ the laptop itself but questions we had about it).
Inadvertantly a few times my twin boys (then 1.5 years old) got too it as well. They ripped the CD drive out of it as well as the DVD drive. DH spent about 10 minutes fixing it and all was well again. ;)
So I highly recommend Dell laptops, they are the only laptops we will buy/use. :D
hf1111 11-28-2005, 9:57 PM Yea, I ordered this and was curious of what I can expect as far as battery life. When i ordered it it said it came with a 4-cell 29whrs, but when I look at the order status it shows its shipping with a 35whrs battery, was wondering if anyone else noticed this.

Search NotebookForums.com (http://www.notebookforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=71) for input on battery life.
BamaLuver 11-28-2005, 10:26 PM After searching (and a long night last week with no luck at CC), I ended up purchasing the following Dell last night. Not sure if its still on line -- but I used a code in the Parade yesterday (from the paper). Here are the specs:

RossMAN 11-28-2005, 10:31 PM BamaLuver,
That's a good deal considering the 15.4" WXGA display, 512MB RAM, 802.11b/g WiFi, free printer and my favorite 1 year warranty.
Congrats :)
BamaLuver 11-28-2005, 10:33 PM RossMAN -- since its a Christmas gift for my 15 year old daughter, the 1 year warranty was a MUST! :D

I don't understand why people would stick with the standard 90 day warranty. I'd rather pay a few bucks more and get a full 12 months of peace of mind.
hf1111 11-28-2005, 10:44 PM 35 WHr is definitely better than 29 but not much, was NiMH an option?
When I ordered it there was no option on the battery
Mikser 11-28-2005, 10:46 PM I ordered it on Saturday. Does anyone know if there is a better battery you can buy for it? I was not given the option when I purchased it but thought maybe I could order a better one through Dell.
beth_m 11-28-2005, 11:10 PM After searching (and a long night last week with no luck at CC), I ended up purchasing the following Dell last night. Not sure if its still on line -- but I used a code in the Parade yesterday (from the paper). Here are the specs:

I just bought this exact thing except I got the pentium M. The price was $600 before my $45 coupon bringing the total to $555, before tax ans shipping. How long did it take for you to get your order confirmation? I still havent received mine.
VonnegutFan 11-28-2005, 11:12 PM I totally agree!! I have a Dell Inspiron 8000 (6.5 years old approx). We bought it refurb'd from Dell's site about five years ago. Their customer service has rocked the few times we had to call them (and it was minor stuff, nothing really wrong w/ the laptop itself but questions we had about it).
Inadvertantly a few times my twin boys (then 1.5 years old) got too it as well. They ripped the CD drive out of it as well as the DVD drive. DH spent about 10 minutes fixing it and all was well again. ;)
So I highly recommend Dell laptops, they are the only laptops we will buy/use. :D
Totally. Dell laptops are consistantly rated/ranked as the best... beating out such high-end options as Alienware and Voodoo... completely leaving Gateway, HP in the dust... har. :)
Shawn283 11-28-2005, 11:25 PM Just to let everyone know about shipping. I ordered my dell b130 on sat. 11/26, it said that it would be shipped by 12/12/05. I recieved a email today saying that my laptop would arrive tomorrow 11/29. How freakin quick is that? I cannot wait to get it tomorrow. I may not sleep tonight because I am so excited. Thanks gottadeal for alerting me to this deal. I have always wanted a laptop.
beth_m 11-28-2005, 11:46 PM Well after having intrusted my laptop hopes in the online BB purchase that got canceled I just purchased this dell. I think I got a better computer and deal, so maybe it worked out. Thanks so much for this site !! I feel like I am so much more educated on bargain hunting and I defiantly will keep coming back. Here are the dell specs.

VonnegutFan 11-29-2005, 12:03 AM Awesome. Awesome. I hope I can save up for a lappy by the end of the month. But probably not. =)
melia26 11-29-2005, 12:07 AM I just ordered this laptop with the $50 upgrade option. Thanks GottaDeal! Thanks also to the member who mentioned the $45 off coupon on ebay, that helped too! -Melissa

$45 coupons sure do help especially with shipping, congratulations on your new laptop :yelclap:
alimfp 11-29-2005, 2:19 AM I haven't seen it mentioned (may have missed it), but do these Dell offers usually end on EST time or PST? Just for future reference. :P
RossMAN 11-29-2005, 2:24 AM I haven't seen it mentioned (may have missed it), but do these Dell offers usually end on EST time or PST? Just for future reference. :P
Neither, it's usually 11PM CST so this probably ended 2.5 hours ago.
alimfp 11-29-2005, 2:37 AM Thanks, Ross. That's good to know. We're talking seriously about a new laptop for moi. :D
dannydkd 11-29-2005, 6:26 AM Hey does anybody know if PayPal is still accepting the code for $20 off when you buy the Dell laptop computer. I started to buy one this morning but could not find where to put the code to receive the $20 off. Please let me know because I will try ordering the laptop computer later on.
labgeek 11-29-2005, 9:41 AM The $20 paypal code gets put in on the Dell site not the paypal site. Just like any other Dell promo/coupon code. Believe it has to be Dell home though. I know it won't work through the Dell Outlet.
dannydkd 11-29-2005, 10:00 AM The Dell Laptop deal is over the price now is $499.
Trebor1159 11-29-2005, 10:05 AM Does anyone have the rebate form or can forward it to me. With the paypal code, you have to enter it on the Dell coupon page, paypal never gives you the option to enter a coupon on the paypal page.
BamaLuver 11-29-2005, 10:16 AM I just bought this exact thing except I got the pentium M. The price was $600 before my $45 coupon bringing the total to $555, before tax ans shipping. How long did it take for you to get your order confirmation? I still havent received mine.
Beth: Received my order confirmation within 5 minutes -- but have not yet received a shipping confirm. Ordered a dell last Christmas and even though they said they'd ship in two weeks, I think it was actually 3 days after the order was placed.
Shawn283 11-29-2005, 1:07 PM I just got my laptop. I love it. Thank-you gottadeal!:)
