    500 added right back for taxes, and you should call in and ask for discounts.

    My last XPS laptop I purchased I has able to save substantially over any coupon prices listed anywhere.
    But it was through Dell small business and the lady was very friendly and spoke English as she was located in the US.
    Later on I even picked up a Canon 70-200 2.8IS lens for $100.00 less than anywhere else anywhere.

    Guess I am trying to say is talk to a rep, perhaps you will find a good one.

    if you're seriously thinking about getting a M1730 (and your budget allows) don't think about the money because it'll depreciate faster than the time it takes for you to sign your name for delivery. bottom line: 1730 will not offer bang for buck. ever.
