I was comparing the specs between the full priced version of this laptop and the one I got "educationally discounted". I noticed that everything was the same EXCEPT the hard drive! The discounted one has a40gb drive and the full priced one has a 60gb drive. I called Dell and asked them where my dicount was? They just changed the specs in order to "say" I am getting a discount. So technically this was NOT thesame computer. I spoke with one of the supervisors on Friday and she reviewed everything for like 20 minutes, I am sure to try to prove me wrong. She couldn't do it and said "You know you're right!" She then said she could cancel my order and then reorder the one with the 60gb but of course I would have to wait longer to get my computer. Plus, I can deal with 20 less GB's...it's the fact I was told I was getting a discount when I was REALLY getting a "lesser" computer...

The supervisor was VERY nice and then offered me a $50 discount coupon on my next purchase. At least Dell stood behind their mistake and that I can appreciate...

Well, yesterday I decided to see what else I could buy since I had the extra $50 and I ended up getting this D-LINK SYSTEMS DI-624 AirPlus Xtreme G High-Speed 108Mbps Wireless Router listed at $69.26. With my coupon and shipping and taxes it came to $24 and change! That's $15 dollars cheaper than the mail-in rebates offered in this weeks circulars!! PLUS, there is a $25 mail-in rebate offered by D-Link I MIGHT be able ot get. I say "might" because the sales person said that since my final price was less than the rebate I might not qualify...but hey it's worth the price of a stamp to find out!!]]> Opinions and Polls Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/just-bought-a-new-dell-laptop/#post-139886 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/just-bought-a-new-dell-laptop/#post-139246 Fri, 18 Nov 2005 00:38:17 +0000
But, in the end, I'm a geek who loves toys and all that is just an excuse to get another one! :)

Jason Be careful with these "deals"...really check the specs and do a lot of comparisons...Plus also beware that many stores will only stock like 50-100 of these just to draw people into the store...

I did Blacl Friday ONE day and I wil NEVER do it again...the money saved is NOT worth waiting the the cold for 3 hours...and many times if you go later that day many of the prices haven't gone up much...]]> Opinions and Polls Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/just-bought-a-new-dell-laptop/#post-139238 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/just-bought-a-new-dell-laptop/#post-139236 Thu, 17 Nov 2005 23:44:55 +0000 Dell Dude => Busted for drugs (wow, shocker...) = end of career shilling for Dell.]]> Opinions and Polls Taso https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/just-bought-a-new-dell-laptop/#post-139236 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/just-bought-a-new-dell-laptop/#post-139194 Thu, 17 Nov 2005 19:22:57 +0000
