Wish I had that coupon. I got a discount, but it wasn't 40%!

 

Sign up as a Small Business Customer. Anyone can... Once or twice a year they email out "Mystery Coupon" sales where you can a certificate number and go to their site to see what the discount is. It is always 25-40% off. Last year I bought an Inspiron with a 25% coupon - this year it was 40% so the Covet looked realistic. For all I know all the coupons are the same...or maybe I got really lucky...no idea.

 

I ordered on 8/03/2012 and it's still in production....you're really lucky that you're getting it, you didn't wait long at all! Congrats!

 

Is the Covet just a glass panel over the existing LCD panel? It would just add another sheet to view through?

 

Does it cost anything to sign up as a Small Business Customer?

 

1) Sharp focus

2) Good lighting

3) Composition-framing

Anything else is icing, on the cake.

Yes, but put that way anodizing is just an extra coating over the aluminum.

 

For an update on the NVIDIA 305.93 graphics drivers (I have a K5000) - having used them for a few days, the only thing I have noticed that *could* be a driver problem is that Alt-Tab does not always seem to work reliably - I can carefully (once I noticed it) alt-tab to the icon of another app, let go, and it stays where I am. One time, I had a full-screen app, and neither alt-tab or Win-tab could be used to cycle to another app! Win-tab would scroll through the little pictures as it does, but then come back to the full screen app. I rebooted, and that particular problem was not happening again.

I know someone said NVIDIA pulled the 305.93 drivers, not sure if they discovered this or something else. I'll keep watching it, let me know if you see a similar problem! Could also be coming from another piece of software...

EDIT: just played around a bit more with it, I see more what it is doing. The app I pick with Alt-Tab becomes the top app, i.e. it works correctly, but then the original app I am coming from re-takes over the focus as goes on top! It happens very quickly. Something is not quite right with focus.

 

No, it is free.

 

Anyone know if the AGT3-25SAT3-480G (OCZ Agility 3 480GB SSD) is compatible with the M6700?
