Is this a good deal?

 

What extras should someone get if considering this computer?

I got this message:

 

We're sorry, the coupon code you have entered has previously been redeemed.

[davephillyj]

if you call them you should still be able to get it.... I have had them call me back two days after the fact when I thought about getting a desktop and he came down off of the (379 advertised but I upgraded several things) price by ANOTHER $75 two days later trying to make the sale!. We just had some unexpected things com up and couldn't. Man am I kicking myself!

That stinks that you can only use the code once.

[Kandy]

when i clicked on the middle computer it said no coupon code needed

[amyandkids]

Could you forward it to me please? [email protected]

I tried the first code, got to shopping cart with $399. price. Then I decided to look around a while. Went back to cart - had timed out. Entered code again, got the "already used" note. So I tried the Black Friday coupon code B95H5LNNZ3C8BT which worked beautifully. Thanks to whomever posted that code.

Any input on if this or another one is best for a teenager who plays the Sims games. It bogs down the desktop (older model) and she has been wanting a laptop and has $300 to put towards one (we will chip in more) for Christmas gift.

Check out the Business Outlet they have pretty good deals on these computers I keep the screen up and refresh!

The other day 329 in the outlet because it was a refurb but it comes with a one year warranty!

i get a message that the page has been removed

[gvanlare]

In the email, it says that after 48 hours it will be open to anyone and expires 11/26/07 or until supply runs out.

How do you make deals w/ them? I really just want a dual core, w 1gb RAM, and a DVD Burner as well as Vista for DD. I like the one at Staples on BF but for an extra $50 or so would be happy not to stand in line on BF morning for several hours. Do you think closer to BF Dell will make deals over the phone?

one good way to get a good deal with Dell is to check their outlet. Usually they post refurbs, scratch and dent, ordered but never used, and customer return systems there at GOOD prices.

 

I got an Inspiron 531 with an AMD dual core 4200+ (that rates to about 6GHz on the Intel scale because of the dual core- ie each processor is roughly 3GHz) with a 320 GB HD, 2GB of Ram, DVD-RW, and Vista Premium for under $400. It was listed as scratch and dent, but had never been used. It came with one scratch wayyyy down on the bottom of the case where the panel slides on and off (not noticeable unless you're taking said panel on or off). Otherwise, it was in PERFECT condition. I added another GB of Ram to it for less than $50 and for about $450 have a system that is more than adequate for my needs.

 

I did add a video card to it, as most of the Dell systems on the site stock (except for the XPS) come with integrated video and those aren't really good for much of anything. Grand total for system plus all upgrades was still under $500 even after shipping.

So, is this a good computer to get for just basic stuff, no games? and is a great deal, or a good deal? thanks.sunpop
