Now Valid!

 

Here is my recommended configuration:

 

Keep the base system ($1327)

8-cell Lithium Ion Additional Battery (65 WHr) [add $129]

2Yr Ltd Warranty, 2Yr At-Home Service, and 2Yr Technical Support [add $60]

 

Total: $1516 - $750 = $766

 

That gives you an extra year of warranty, plus 2 batteries - the smaller one when you need the smaller size/weight and the larger one when you need extended usage time.

 

1.7GHz Pentium-M, 60GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive, 256MB RAM, WiFi and more.

This is even hotter than my 700m which I purchased a few months ago

 

I paid $757 for a 1.6, 256, 40GB, DVD Burner, 2 year warranty and one 8 cell battery.

 

HOT HOT HOT if you need a portable laptop!

That's not a too much cooler than this deal. You got a DVD burner instead of a battery and a slight step down in the processor & HD size. Don't cry, Ross!

LOL Thanks Andy, I'm glad that I have friends like you to console me

Loved that play by K-Rod last night!

Compared to Ross' deal:

Ross: $757 for a 1.6, 256, 40GB, DVD Burner, 2 year warranty and one 8 cell battery.

This: $770 for a 1.7, 256, 60GB, DVD Burner, 1 year warranty and one 8 cell battery.

I'd say this deal is a tad better, but then, one would expect it to be coming a few months later. Still missing a little something for me to get excited enough to pull the trigger. Wasn't planning to buy a new computer until Nov anyway, so probably best.

[RossMAN]

jonottawa, nice comparison but this comes with a combo DVD/CD-RW not DVD Burner. That feature is an extra $99.

 

I just checked and this coupon is still valid, the price for Brad's configuration seems to have dropped $5 to $761 after coupon.

[jonottawa]

My comparison is accurate. I substituted an 8-cell battery for the crappy battery that comes with the bare-bones system and substituted the Burner for the DVD/CD-RW. The price you then get is $770, after coupon.

[RossMAN]

Ah ok that makes sense :)

 

Hopefully there will be more Dell deals near the end of October.

On a slight tangent: I just had a great buy on Ebay. Put 4 identical (50.01) low-ball bids in on 4 separate laptop hard drive (60 GB Toshiba) auctions by the same seller and, as hoped for, one of them was a winner (if none of them win, I've wasted my time, if more than one of them win, I've got an extra (but cheap) hard-drive I don't really want.) Oddly (and sweetly) enough, all the others went for $53.50 or more. $50+ 9.50 shipping for a brand-new 60 GB laptop hard-drive seems pretty decent. Guess I'll put off my new computer purchase for a while longer (my 4-year old Dell's hard-drive gave out a while back.)
