boulez Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Can anyone make this work? I've tried on about 6 models and the coupon is simply ignored every time.
Brad Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 I just tried it and it worked. What model/config are you trying to get? Remember according to the terms it can't be one of their "Outrageous Deals", etc... I went through the link above, clicked Notebooks, "start shopping notebooks" and picked a model
edmicman Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 bah! I always see these and see the price at around 1k on the site and go and configure it, and then get to the end screen and the 1k price is AFTER their crappy "savings" already...so the 40% off isn't really that much better. how can I get a 6000 for around 700 with this? is it even possible??
nispo Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 If only there was still that special config that allowed for the dedicated graphics card with no dell warrenty tie-ins. THAT was a deal. 40% is still great though, will go fast though .. so act quick.

nispo Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 That's not a bad deal, but the bummers of it are the processor and the integrated VG. Sad thing is that last week both of those bummers weren't there with that special configuration...and to boot... no shipping fee... for a grand total of ... $621. Damn. If only I myself could go back in time... I would have saved myself 100 plus that I spent ordering the next day EDIT... Oh and.. one question for anyone.... This coupon only applies to dell home huh? I tried it on some other configs found through the business channel and they didn't work out.
nispo Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Shoot, dell business has some "reccommened" solutions that have far better options with out the warrenty tie in... compared to the high-end, mid-range, and base level ones that have more inflated prices.
geekgirldany Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Wow I did get a good deal I can't get the 6000 to configure to around $650 either. I wonder if you keep check on it and maybe tomorrow it will. I got my 6000 yesterday and its great! I'm so happy I bought it. The graphics and screen are really clear. Loads up fast. DVDs play great. I'm really excited :)
RossMAN Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Dany, I'm glad you bought when you did :) I forgot did you upgrade to the WSXGA+ for $125 more?
nispo Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 How did you get your 6000 already? Its been only a week!(less maybe) And yes, congrats on that deal, I was dumb not to jump on it when you did.
geekgirldany Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 I just got the regular screen. Which is still amazing to me. The Screen itself is 15" I believe. Quite a difference between it and the 12" IBM Thinkpad 600. When I am on battery the screen does dim. I dont' like that very much. I don't know how I got it so quick. I kept on checking through the weekend about the shipping status. Saturday it said it had shipped. Sunday it said it had left Tennessee. I didn't even know they have a distribution center there. Then I got it Tuesday right on the dot. I was amazed to get it so soon :) But I am enjoying it.
RossMAN Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 I just got the regular screen. Which is still amazing to me. The Screen itself is 15" I believe. Quite a difference between it and the 12" IBM Thinkpad 600. You mean 15.4" widescreen :) Yeah it's amazing how much more screen real estate you get with just a few more inches. Most mainstream non-widescreen laptops have 1024x768 resolutions in 14" and 15" sizes. When I am on battery the screen does dim. I dont' like that very much. That's to conserve valuable battery power. You can also turn off WiFi and FireWire to save even more battery juice. I don't know how I got it so quick.

The important thing is that you're happy with your new laptop and you didn't pay retail. That deserves a Do you have a wireless network? I love the wireless 802.11b/g built in instead of having a PCMCIA card sticking out. You should look into a good laptop case or sleeve to protect your new laptop.
geekgirldany Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Yeah I have wifi and its built into the laptop :) I connected right up to the network and was on the internet from the den or my bedroom. Got a excellent connection. The screen being so wide does make it easier to actually do work on a laptop. I had trouble before. The big test for it will be during the tax season. I will see then if I can sit in the den and do tax returns or bookkeeping. Just to add that I priced several other laptops after I purchased this one. To get anything close to this price I would have to get one with a celeron processor or maybe sempron. Wasn't as much ram, screen size, or a good graphics card. Something comparable is specs were as much as $1,000.00 so this was a great great deal. I have a laptop case but I am not sure if it will fit or not. Maybe to wide. Also what do you do about "hot leg" :)
RossMAN Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Also what do you do about "hot leg" :)Ask my wife for assistance?
