Guest Opal1 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 What's the best deal on a Dell laptop right now? I'm looking for a family member. They are in the $500-$1000 price range. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Click hereClick Hot Offers --> NotebooksUnderneath InspironTM 6000 click $779 Customize It You may be tempted to order the Dell Inspiron 1300 for $549 which is $230 cheaper but that's a bad idea. Here's what you get for your extra $230: A better laptop.Pentium-M CPU vs Celeron, this is a no brainer.512MB RAM vs 256MBFREE 8x DVD Burner (which 1300 also offers)FREE ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X300 dedicated video card vs integrated1 year warranty vs 90 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 You can also purchase through Dell home using a $250 off $999 coupon. I would also take into consideration if Dell Home charges sales tax in your state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Opal1 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Soooooo many choices. I'm still configuring systems. Thanks Ross! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Yeah there are a lot of choices but the Inspiron 6000 offers the best bang for your buck. Plus with those free upgrades 512MB, DVD burner, 1 year warranty ... now is a good time to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Opal1 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Quick question. What are the differences between the Inspiron 6000 series and the XPS M140 Series? I see in another thread that you mentioned the XPS M140 would be your next laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Oooh the XPS M140 is a beautiful laptop. Size/weight, 14.1" WXGA vs 15.4" WXGA is a huge differenceXPS support is supposedly better than Inspiron seriesXPS M140 with 9 cell battery gives you around 7.5 hours battery life I do prefer the 6000's WSXGA+ display which is beautiful. On the M140 you can't choose another resolution, you're stuck with one. Dell XPS M140 for $949http://www.gottadeal.com/DirectDeal/13724 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
