This is bullcrap.

THe $1572 system (inspiron6000) was on gotapex for $799 with a base price of $1372.


"Expires TONIGHT! DellSB - Inspiron 6000 Notebook with 1.6Ghz Pentium M 730, 15.4" WXGA TFT, 64MB ATI Mobility Radeon X300, 256MB SDRAM, Dual Layer DVD Burner, 40GB HD, 802.11b/g for $799 after Rebate and FREE Shipping!"
and that came with a DVD burner which is a $99 upgrade now.

SO..

$1671 + shipping costs - $750 = ~950 if shipping is say.. $30 or so.

or.. 799 before.
 
If anyone uses this code, please post your system spec and price because I need to pick up a new laptop. Thanks
 
It's only good on select notebooks I believe. Though they can be configured to some extent.
 
just remember when configuring these, pick the lowest available for ram, hdd, etc. because you can buy some better ram and a better HD for a LOT cheaper than you can upgrade for on there, and just sell them from the dell. I would go ahead and buy the graphics card and processor I want on there though. A bit of a headache though.

You're better off buying a 400fsb Dothan with 2mb cache on ebay and performing the pin mod. Like a 1.6 400fsb can be pin modded to 2.13ghz 533 fsb. Should only cost you about $160 max.
 
Just about to pull the trigger on a 9300 with a 6800go. I'd like at least gig of ram but since bk12321 suggested upgrading that after the fact I'm looking around for a good deal. If anyone wants to make a suggestion on what I should get or where I'd appreciate it.

This seems to be a good value for 512mb sticks, opinions?
 
Thats bullshit, since when does Dell charge for a Windows Disk? $10? For a fucking CD that is already paid for?

That's good enough to cover the ram but you're still missing the most important part of these, the 6800go. WIthout it it's just another laptop...

The 9300 is a WONDERFUL gaming system that's much cheaper than an XPS2 with only a drop in frame rate that's much smaller than the massive drop in price from the XPS2. It's goddamn big though, and if you're not going to be playing games, get something else. Trust me. If you're going to be gaming, get these upgrades: 6800 Go and 7200 RPM drive, then buy the ram elsewhere.

If you are buying this for gaming, then forget all the other RAM suggestions in this thread and get this stuff instead. It's out of stock right now but I'm sure it'll be back. Or maybe this stuff at ChiefValue, good price! Not sure about the quality of Kingmax when it comes to laptop RAM though. Why do I suggest this over a pair of 512MB sticks? You lose dual channel, but you will have 1280MB to start instead of 1GB (since the 9300 comes with a single 256MB stick) and you will be able to upgrade to 2GB cheaper later on.

Finally, I would recommend against the upgraded screen. It's going to mean a 1920x1200 native resolution which is fucking TINY, and on top of that, it means that you'll need to either run games outside of the native resolution (very bad for visual quality) or let their frame rates struggle at that high of a resolution. The 9300 can play modern games very comfortably at the cheaper screen's 1440x900 resolution, but if you look at Kyle's review of the XPS2, you'll see that that thing, even with a more powerful 6800 Go Ultra, still couldn't run games at 1920x1200 with all features turned on. No way a 9300 will do that near as well, either. And the last reason I don't recommend the "TrueLife" screen is that it's glossy, while the cheaper screen is not. It's a matter of preference, but I can't stand the glossy screen.

Yeah, I should have talked him into the 6800Go, but that put it over a grand and scared him away. I wonder how hard it will be to find a 6800Go and upgrade it in the future. I already picked up a second stick of 256mb DDR2 on ebay for $23 shipped (some guy flooded ebay with auctions ending at the same time) and need to find a good deal on a bigger 7200 rpm drive down the road.
 
I jumped on this deal yesterday went with

1.6ghz
256mb RAM
6800go
40 gig hd
base screen

All came out to just under 1,000 with the 750 off, a 25$ off (the dell hookup seems to be stackable) and the free shipping. I'm looking for cheap RAM and perhaps a harddrive. If anyone wants to unload the 256mb chip they're taking out when upgrading to a gig, pm me, I might be interested.
 
don't forget to pick up a P-M 725 or 735 and mod them to either 2.13 or 2.26 ghz respectively :)

is the dell hook up really stackable? I just got a 20% off from them, iff that stacked with $750 off oh shnikees
 
expired; how often do they normally show up...Im still researching but i just cant justify the cost of the F1 acer 4300 over a similarly equipted m700 minus the graphics. Weight is also a concern. Sorry to hijack the thread...
 
go with dell

and these things pop up every once in a while. might be another near school time, but thats when they make a lot of profit, so who knows

About every 3 months. Previous to this one it was April 12th. Dells loves to stuff the pipeline with orders to make stock analysts happy to coincide with end of quarter earnings announcements.

I'm not sure if the % off hookups worked, the 25$ that came on every card worked for me though. You're right, if that does work you'd have quite a deal.
