    I missed out on the last batch of the XPS coupons, does anyone know when there might be a new one rolling around? Specifically for the 1530?

    Thanks for any and all replies.

    I'm also wondering about this.. I'd like to purchase soon, and right now I can get a pretty decent configuration for a little less than $1500.. when do you think the 25% coupon will come out again, if it ever does?

    XPS coupons don't come out very often. Since the 25% off just came out, I'd say you're looking at probably 2 and a half to 3 months before another coupon comes out. But if you're going to wait that long you may as well wait until Montevina is out on the Studio line.

    Well yea, you'll get random coupons that are pretty small discounts every week or so (not necessarily on the XPS). But to find a huge one like 25% off or more...it'll be a while.

    BTW: Price of a blu-ray optical drive is now $400, not $500.

    2-3 months for another 25%+ off coupon like the one that just happened. You'll get little deals here and there every couple of weeks for the XPS.

    That's been the plan thus far. Hoping to be able to snag up one of those coupons before I have to buy a computer for school. I'd really love to save ~$400, that would be wonderful. :D


    Thanks Bauer418 for the heads up, I may have to look elsewhere, or get a bigger budget. :p

    No the XPS Coupons do NOT come out once every 2-3 months, i dont know where you get that information from..

    There was a 25% off ALL XPS laptop coupon out for the last week of april which i missed and then i waited, and there was a 25% of ALL XPS laptop coupon out the second week of May, which is the time i bought my XPS.. :D
