    I don't know how hot/cold this coupon is, Dell is limiting the configuration so that makes me think it might not be so hot, but I'll pass it along any hoo:


    Dell.com 40% Off Coupon (2-days only) On Select $1299+ Notebook Computers (expires 9/1 6:00 a.m.)

    Dell is running a 40% off offer on the following notebooks that are configured $1299+: Inspiron 700m, Inspiron 600m, Inspiron 6000, Inspiron 9300. The coupon code to be used for this discount is: ?Q2VH66VGW$R0W

    Please use the following link for offer details: Dell Save 40% Offer Link

    The deal is very bad. For the 700m, you can only upgrade the options. Very cold deal unless you are looking for a loaded laptop.

    yeah I agree. If you are going to get the 9300, you need to get the nvidia 6800. The 64 and 128 isn't really that good for watching movies... IMO.

    i tried using it for the i6000 and it will only let me use intergrated graphics. Is there any way to upgrade the graphic card?

    If you are trying to use the coupon, I doubt you can upgrade the card. They made the coupon to work with very specific systems. You might try contacting Dell and see if they can change your card on your order.

    If you are looking to configure Inspiron less than $1500 list price, I would say you use 35% OFF Coupons with $50 Stackable coupon, which works out cheaper.

    Got it from http://www.deals2deal.com

    I am going for 6000 @$720.40
