Mara Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Ok seems like everyone wants my help getting a Computer lol. I helped my friend take advantage of the pervios Dell deal upgrading it nicely for a good price. Now her husband wants one. Thing is he is in Iraq and won't be back till end of April early May so we have time. I told her it would be wise to hold out and see what other deals Dell came out with and if they had another end of the quarter sale between now and then maybe. When do you think there next big clear them out sale might be? A bit after the holidays maybe to pick up first quarter sales. I remember a majorly killer droll all over sale at the end of one of there quarters a while back. What are your thoughts on this. Gotta get this soldier a good deal for his welcome home gift :) Thanks Mara
RossMAN Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 There is a good possibility of end of quarter sales coming up or in the first quarter of 2006. Three questions:1) What state would the computer be shipped to?2) What is their budget?3) Do they need a monitor or only the computer?
Mara Posted November 28, 2005 Author Posted November 28, 2005 they want a laptop not a computer. Budget probably around the $800 range I would guess. It will go to the state of KY to Fort Campbell Army base. We can order Dell deals through the Army to avoid shipping and tax but end of quarter deals are normally better than what they offer on the Army Dell site. Sometimes its the same it varies lol. When will the first quarter end. Just wondering if your guy and experience says watch for sales around ____ :) thanks Rossman Mara
RossMAN Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 If you're lucky there might be another sale on a Dell Inspiron 6000 like this. That was very hot because it had a Pentium-M (not a Celeron), 512MB RAM, DVD Burner, WiFi and beautiful 15.4" WXA for under $800.
AkumaX Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 are there any deals on an inspiron 6000 or something 6000-class similar? right now it's 750, i found a 80 off coupon, but i don't know if there's anything better. or maybe there's a better widescreen laptop out there. thanks if anyone can help!
Karmarose Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Akuma I had the 6000 and loved it (We payed more then 750). It actually got broke by my husband and we upgraded to the 8600. We bought our 6000 for road trip dvd playing and surfing. We upgraded the memory and hard drive and it was even great for online gaming. We love all our dells that we own and are plan on purchasing again very soon.
2manicmom Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 This is my first post. Sorry to butt in... I wonder if you could help me to find a deal on a laptop too. I need one that is 4.5 lbs or less. Shipped to Louisiana. Priced between 500 to 800? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. 2manicmom
melhuff Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 I was just wanting some help in deciding what options I need on a new Dell I...umm..I mean Santa is bringing me for Xmas!!
Kayakmom Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 2manicmom, the only company that I know of that makes the lightweight laptops for under $1000 is Averatec. I'm currently typing from one that's about 2 years old that has heat issues, but the new ones apparently are not as bad. I am looking at the 2100 as my next notebook (very soon!) because the heavier and bigger ones give me migraines.
2manicmom Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Thanks Kayakmom. I will search for one. My 22 yr daughter wants a laptop but has medical issues. I would like to find one for Christmas. Looks like I might have to raise the budget though. :) 2manicmom
2manicmom Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I found the Avertec at CC with a rebate for 769. Thanks. 2manicmom
RossMAN Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I found the Avertec at CC with a rebate for 769. Thanks. 2manicmomDo you have the model #?
alimfp Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Only two Averatec's on CC's web site (both with rebates):http://www.circuitcity.com/rpsm/catOid/-12963/Ntk/All/Ntt/averatec/rpem/ccd/categorylist.do

alimfp Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 That's what I was seeing as well. Figured I was doing my math incorrectly.
RossMAN Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 That's what I was seeing as well. Figured I was doing my math incorrectly. It's the weekend, no math for me
2manicmom Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 This one wasn't on the web site. They had several models in the store and 2 or 3 had clearance prices with rebates. The one I bought is AV3360-EH1 Intel Pentium M Processor 725 12.1 XGA TFT Screen 512 MB DDR, 80GB HD DVD burner 3 in 1 memory reader 802.11g, 10/100 ethernet Microsoft works It is 4.6 lbs I think. Price $862.96 plus tax -$100 mail in rebate The other models that were on clearance had different processors. One was a celeron and the other was a turion (model 4100 I think) more expensive and heavier. I am in Lafayette, LA. My son checked at a CC in Seattle and they did not have the same stock.
alimfp Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 This one! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007OWOXU/102-1941197-5305720?v=glance&n=541966 Nice, congrats! :)
