VonnegutFan Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 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. 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn283 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonnegutFan Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Awesome. Awesome. I hope I can save up for a lappy by the end of the month. But probably not. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alimfp Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 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. Neither, it's usually 11PM CST so this probably ended 2.5 hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannydkd Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 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 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannydkd Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 The Dell Laptop deal is over the price now is $499. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor1159 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 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 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 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.
