I would also recommend waiting. Maybe the A540 will drop in price to around $129 or you can get a cheap A530.

If this is the Geeks.com MP3 player you were considering it's OOS now

Have you checked Farecast.com? It's worth checking out.

DPA = Dell Preferred Account I prefer paying with a credit card for a few different reasons: 1) No credit bureau inquiry, besides I don't really need another loan. 2) Most credit cards with rewards already offer a 1% rebate. 3) Most Visa, MasterCard and Amex credit cards offer a free 1 year extended warranty if the laptop is purchased using that cc.

That sold out quickly.

If I go I'll have to camp out at 5PM to get anything good, 12 hours in line isn't my idea of fun.

They're pretty comparable with the following exceptions: Dell has a smaller LCD Gateway has a larger hard drive Can you even order the Gateway laptop?

Thread title has been edited to MiniDV, thanks.

Which DVD?

Actually the 20% off $999+ coupon does still work but not on this configuration. I just tested the 20% off coupon and it does still work :) Here's how to get the 20% off coupon to work: Click me Select Notebooks, Inspiron, E1405, Continue, $649 configuration, $649 again

Yes, I would at least get the first 4 upgrades listed. http://forums.gottadeal.com/showpost.php?p=639964&postcount=8

Thanks, the GottaDeal.com phone hotline will definitely return next year

Yes this is perfect for a college bound high school student. Here's a link to the CostCo $1499 bundle http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11170875 At a quick glance here's what you get for the $715 price difference Slightly faster CPU Windows XP Professional Microsoft Office Small Business Edition 3 year on site warranty Unless you need everything in that CostCo bundle it isn't as great of a deal.

Please DO NOT discuss reselling on ebay or craigslist or this thread will be locked. I would sell it and buy a Panasonic 42" Plasma or Samsung/Toshiba DLP.

Any other suggestions other than a regional forum? :)

Remember to keep the receipt, box and all packaging just in case you have to return it.

Yes I would and don't forget the recommended upgrades I mentioned. You may also want to add a more comprehensive 2-3 year warranty.
