    Dell doesn't coupons north of the border like they do here. Might want to look on ebay. Dell's quality is less than ThinkPads, but there is no shame in that because everyone else is as well, maybe Pansonic.

    I live in Canada too and unfortunately we dont get the coupons available in US. But from time to time Dell-canada drops prices buy 25%. So make sure you wait until the system you want is on sale. They also have an e-flyer section (under as-advertized) which has some good deals.

    I have never owned a Dell but from what i have seen the latitudes are better built than the inspirons. Panasonics imo, used to be well built but not anymore. It seems they had to cut down on quality in order to compete on price. Thinkpad is the king but they are expensive and you cant always get the spec you want.
