New Dell Vostro V131

Well I used a friend of the rep that I bought my alienware through (wish I spoke to the rep who sold me my alienware) and I told him "this is the specs I want and this is my maximum budget which started at $600, and I went up to $641 because I really need a new laptop asap and wanted the warranty which I did not factor in.

I used the link below to also help me get the priced reduce. Simply saying why should I order over the phone when it is cheaper online? Say things like... what can you offer me to make me want to purchase it? In my case it was a free sleeve and more then $100 discount because the link below can already give me that discount. Its for Canadians The Dell Online Store: Build Your System

 

I didnt notice your from canada.. hehe
i cant believe its cheaper there. 499 for an i3.. its 599 in us for an i3.. im also from canada(Richmond BC) but working out of canada. you mean, you can huggle for a better price from dell? will huggling also work for dell usa? hehe

thanks for tip

 

Yea definitely call in. It can't hurt to try more then one rep. Each one will try to make the sale in their own way.

 

thank you. anyone here know link for contact/sales for us?
i just saw a new price for dell..
489$ without windows backlitkb and fingerscanner..

is backlitkb useful? ive never had a unit that has it.

thanks

 

Useful? Yes (unless you spend all your time in well lit locations). A must have? Not really.

It's quite cheap though so if you're not short on cash get it in my opinion.

 

Mine came with both backlit and finger scanner. I probably could live without the finger scanner but having the keyboard lit up at night is amazing. I wish my black widow keyboard had lights but instead I got the regular one without. Alienware FX is amazing too

 

thanks for reply guys... im on a tight budget... choosing just between asus 1215b and dell v131... 550$ with tax is actually already stretching my budget.. hehe

thanks again..

if anyone has the number for us' dell to order. please post it here.. i have been googling and couldn`t find the number to call for dell order for huggling the prices down..

btw i will be purchasing 2 unit 1 for me and another for my dad.. hehe

 

18778735917 is the Dell.com sales number.

If you order two units over the phone you will be able to haggle for an even better price than me.

 

so far two problems found on my V131...

1. The wireless connection is unstable, as the Dell Power Profile put the wireless adapter in a power saving mode. The solution is go inside the advance settigns and select the "max performance", then everything will be fine.

2. The battery stop charging when the battery level reaches 72%-73%. The solution is "uninstall" the ACHI Battery Method in device manager, unplug the AC power, shutdown, wait for 5 minutes then Power up again, the ACHI battery method will be installed automatically and once the windows loaded, plug in the AC Power again then the battery can be charge to 100%!

 

Thanks Stelio.. appreciate your reply
