    Actually since the 9300 and XPS Gen 2 releases, they have had the 750 coupons. I used one back in March, but back then it was a better deal. Now, it seems like it is the exact same coupon every week. During the spring, they had some pretty hot coupons. I know a couple of times the coupons had expired within hours. Since the beginning of summer it has been the same ones almost each time. There was a couple of 35% off, but they weren't that hot.

    It seems like since Dell has started offering low-mid-high system configurations instead of just the plain basic system with you choosing everything, the coupons have just not been as good.

    Dell Home Customers: Save $750 on SELECT Inspiron™ notebook purchases of $1499 or more (before tax and shipping) when you pay with DPA!
    "when you purchase your computer with Dell Preferred Account "

    What is the Dell Preferred Account (DPA)?
    A The Dell Preferred Account is a revolving line of credit that provides an easy way to finance your initial Dell Home and Home Office purchase as well as add software, peripherals, or even a new system to an account at any time up to your credit limit. See the overview and details section for more information.

    this time this deal is not for me.

    sorry, i didn't see the DPA part. This coupon is definetly not that good. We should be getting a new issuance soon.

    Copperhead,
    That actually is a pretty good deal for Dell's business site. Although I would try to increase the HDD to 60gig if you plan on doing a lot of burning and possibly a 1.73ghz depending on how much it costs. Anything above 1.73 isn't worth the price. I can't really compare it to the price back in the spring since the coupons don't apply to Dell's business, plus I don't remember the price for the 700m back then :p .

    well the big thing about home and business is that the coupons are only good with Dell's Home, so you might be able to get a better deal using the coupon.
