    In the next few months, I would like to purchase a Latitude XT2.

    I was wondering, can I use my DPA account? Seeing as how I'm not a business or anything like that, I'm not looking to lease and I obviously don't have business credit.

    I'm unsure of how a plain consumer goes about purchasing a Latitude from the small business site.

    Thanks!

    I bought a Latitude from the business section despite not being a corporation at all (in fact, since I'm paid by a government which is not of the country I bought the laptop in, so for all effects I am unemployed!).

    Just call the number on the Dell website and place your order. Not only will you be allowed to buy a Latitude (why would Dell refuse to sell you a laptop?) but it will be considerably cheaper than the website price. Ask them for warranty upgrades, CPU upgrades etc at low prices and see what happens :)

    No, you cannot use a DPA to purchase a Latitude. You'll have to put the computer on a personal credit/debit card.

    Go Cards!

    That is correct, you cannot use DPA for Latitude purchases. Not too long ago you could have purchased a Business Outlet laptop from Dell using your DPA but that has also changed. You need to use business credit if you want to purchase it against a Dell-based credit line.
