Nimble27 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I just found a Dell code e-value code: 09249-DNPHHF1, that links you to a amazing deal when spec'd with the AMD Dual Core processor. $640 shipped ($599 with the base single core). Sure it's not a $400 laptop, but it is a FAR nicer one than those base ones for $400-$500. I've been searching for a nice 15.4" widescreen laptop for under $750 with a gig of RAM, a large hard drive, and a nice graphics card. This one has a really nice 256mb graphics card. Specs below.

jfond Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I was looking at this system also... I think it is a good deal. Does anyone know how long this deal is good for? I was looking at getting a system after Christmas - I am worried about it being delivered and not being there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindi_in_Ks Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Where did you find this? I can't figure out how to see this on the Dell site. Help! This is the computer I want to buy! Thanks so much for posting, but just give me this last little bit of info, please! cindi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for posting, but just give me this last little bit of info, please! cindiCindi, I can't post links, but just go to Dell.com, then click on Home & Home Office under "Solutions For:" on the right side of the home page. From there, all you need to do is click on the "As Advertised" on the left side under "Dell Deals." Then copy and paste in the e value code. Make sure to spend the extra $50 to get the dual core processor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindi_in_Ks Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Ok, thanks! I'm halfway through the order and I'm wondering if I need to get the 9 cell battery instead of the 6...it's an additional $43. I will be using this outdoors mainly. What say you?

What say you?I would get the 9 cell if you're going to use it mostly away from your desk. I can get over 3 hours on my monster of a 17 inch with the Dell 9-cell battery. Its money well spent.

Cindi_in_Ks Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Thanks again! I just checked ebay, and batteries run about $80 there. If I end up needing a 2nd battery later, I'll do that, but for now, I'll do the upgrade from 6 to 9 instead of buying a 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimble27 Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 I'm kind of weird for wanting a laptop... more for the coolness factor of their small size (instead of for transporting it around like most people use them for), so mine will be charged in the wall most of the time at my desk. With that said, I went with the standard 6 cell, which provides about 3 hours away with the 15.4" laptop. Plenty for me (I'll be using it around the house). Glad you found my thread useful Cindi. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pab Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I found another E-Value code (09419-BNPRH4F) for for the same Inspiron E1501 from Dell small business section of their website. Price is $599 for AMD dual core TL-50 ($549 for base single core). The only difference is you will need to upgrade to the TruLife LCD display ($20), for a total of $619. In addition this one has an upgraded dual-layer 8xdvd/cd burner that the other doesn't have, which is a ($35) value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimble27 Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Oh well, that's only $30 less than I paid. Good for you guys that haven't bought yours yet though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfond Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 FYI - This code was still valid on 12/27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridasun5 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I might want to get in on this deal as Im in need of a new laptop, but can someone tell me what a Turion processor is? Ive always used Intel/ Pentiums and I dont know how Turion compares to those. Is it better? the same? worse? I know I wont go back to a Celeron again, so Im worried about switching up anything from my Intel/ Pentiums now. Thanks! Edit: Nevermind, I guess the deal is dead now as Im getting a price of $681 with that code. But I'd still like to learn more about the Turion's if anyone has any input for future deals. Thanks!

Guest koby Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Ok guys-help again-I guess everyone know I bought the Dell 1505 for DD (since I've posted so much about it). Now I want one. How do I get the best deal on this 1501 you all are talking about?. I can go to the mall kiosk and order it or online. The 1505 was $843.20 and has intel core duo, 15.4" screen 1GB memory and a 6 cell battery, etc. etc. What do you think. If I can get the same or a better deal with the 1501 the $$ savings would be great! ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would check and see what the e value code is on Sunday and if that is what you want call Dell and give them the code and order it that way, tax is cheaper ordering by phone vs online. I originally was going to have to pay $50 tax online but over the phone it was $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest koby Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 this model is advertised in my sunday paper for $699-does that mean new price starting 12/31? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest koby Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 and why is it $699 online. Are you saying the 09249... code takes $100 off? ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delllaptop Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 this model is advertised in my sunday paper for $699-does that mean new price starting 12/31? They might not run it for $599 since it is after the holidays, I just don't know. Wait till tomorrow and see what the e-value code is in the Parade section. The code above gives a price of $681 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfond Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I just priced the same machine that I ordered with this code on 12/27 and it is now $158 more, so I think this deal is dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delllaptop Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 It is $699 in today's paper so I think they have gone up on the 1501. The one in the paper today has the 9 cell battery vs the deal above which has the 6 cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
