    Yesterday, nomoredell posted a $1,149 Studio XPS configuration in this thread that included a $150 Gift Card. That takes it down to $1,000 which is better than the outlet price. I can config the same system for the same price but I don't see any mention of a $150 Gift Card. Is there some code needed to get that?

    Thanks.

    outlet price is cheaper than new ones though even with $150 gift. you can get a better specs for $750. the trick is outlet doesnt refresh every 20 minutes like it used to be.

    its now one refresh every hour, and it updates listings between 40 minutes after the hour to 45 minutes after, only 5 minutes.

    Thanks. Yeah, I didn't see the $150 card thing or free shipping anywhere on the Dell site, but I'll ask about it if we decide on that one.

    Good to know about the refresh schedule in the outlet.

    I ordered my SXPS 1640 on 4/13 got the free shipping and $150 gift card and I didn't have to put any codes in. It just came automatically.
