Dell Coupon

[Matchoo77]

Anybody know if there are any good coupons out there for Dell? I missed my chance at the $750 off deal, and wanted to know if there was anything similar....
Thanks,
Matt

What exactly are you looking to purchase? A desktop, laptop, display, peripherals...?
There tend to be different deals and coupons for different things, so let me know what you're looking for, and I'll try to find something for you.

I'm looking at the preconfigured Inspiron 5160. The stats are below. I'm not much of a computer guy, but I think it's a pretty solid system. The price is $1100 with my company's employee discount, plus I just redeemed 25k American Express miles for $250 (I'm never able to use them for airplane tix anyway!).

Do you computer folks have any thoughts on paying another $250 for the 3 year warrantee? Thanks!

Also, thoughts on Dell vs other brands, ie gateway, hp, toshiba?

recommend going with 3-4 year warranty if getting an employee discount... it doubles the percent discount you receive...

not a rebate but an instant off...

plus you automatically get on-site service NBD rather than mail-in...

I also suggest getting "complete care" which basically means dell replaces your laptop if anything happens to it (falls, cracked screens, spills, surges) basically anything cept fire/theft/intentional damage...

i believe its the same price no matter how long you get it for (like 79 bucks)

none of the other builders do this... and I have it on my inspiron 600m...

the 3yr warranty v/s 1 yr should not be $250 from my experience...

What is the Dot Pitch on 2005FPW ??

 

[Matchoo77]

Thanks Penny....I tried the discount code, but it was expired. I have no idea what you're talking about with a dot pitch.

 

[Sazar]

dot pitch on flat panels is generally over 0.25 and less than 0.30 if that helps...

makes less of a difference on a flatpanel than a CRT I think since most of them are about the same size...
