mrn8 Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 If your company has a Dell EPP plan, you can use this coupon for $750 off the notebooks, plus you will get your company discount on top of that. Usually that's around 12% for a small to medium sized business.

ihsteven Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Do you guys recommend anything other than the 700M for a laptop that will be used for business trips etc. I want a light traveler with a good battery life. -Steven
Brad Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Do you guys recommend anything other than the 700M for a laptop that will be used for business trips etc. I want a light traveler with a good battery life. -StevenIf you're talking just the Inspiron line, then yes, the 700m would be the best choice. Just make sure you get the bigger battery for the extra battery life. I've traveled with my 700m a few times and it's been really nice. BTW, coupon is now active!

If you can get it at that price, go for it.
mrn8 Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 That looks like a contender for DEAL OF THE YEAR! If you can get it at that price, go for it.My employer is offering 6 or 12 months payroll deduction at no interest, so I'm seriously considering.
mrn8 Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Hmmm...looks like the 12% comes off of the total after the $750 off coupon, which puts it at $832. Thoughts?
RossMAN Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 My employer is offering 6 or 12 months payroll deduction at no interest, so I'm seriously considering.Even better!
ihsteven Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 How is wifi access on these machines? How far will it pull a signal from? I know someone who has an averatec and my toshiba has better signal strength/detection etc.. than the averatec and it is 2 years older. -Steven
RossMAN Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 Steven, My 700m which has the Intel 2200 (802.11b/g) has great signal strength. Dell used to offer a choice of Dell 1350/1450 or Intel 2200/2915 wireless card but it seems that's no longer the case? The Dell 1350 might have slightly better performance over the Intel 2200.http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=65940
