Best 1530 Deal Ever!!!!

I recently ordered a 1520. Today, I found out that they are having 300$ off orders 1499+. Offer Expires Dec. 17. Stacking on the 200$ off coupon N148DK363R6WB0, I just got myself $500 off the XPS 1530 instantly. Plus free Next Day Shipping. It should arrive on the 28th. Check out my build.

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7500 (2.2GHz/800MhzFSB, 4M L2 Cache)
1GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm
256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M G
160GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive for XPS M1530
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition
Intel 4965AGN Wireless-N Mini-card
85 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
Dell Wirless 355 Bluetooth Module (2.0+EDR)
MRSP $1544
After Taxes and discounts $1117.06

The offer for my discount was due to me spending a MRSP of over $1499 and I received a $300 discount

 

Meh, its not THAT great...

 

Awesome! But this laptop is not for me

 

Dude...Vista will run horribly with one gig of RAM, you should upgrade that.

 

As nice looking as the xps line is, 1280x800 ftl

 

Yea, I'm going to upgrade with (2x 2gb) ram. I was looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208323. No way am I paying their price for ram.

 

its nto taking off 300 for me...

 

Did you configure the base price over $1499?

 

wow! nice!!!

But i'd rather pay double for m15x.... which will like drop kick xps1530 all the way forward to the junkyard

 

Yea, I just canceled my 1520 after finding this out today.

 

It took 200 off for 1499+ but not 300 for me. And it said the coupon is invalid.

 

sorry, I got it to work, THANK YOU OP!!!, i just ordered a refurb m1330 for 1050 earlier in the day...traded portability and LED screen for a LOT more power and a larger screen...hope the tradeoff is worth it.

 

I dont think the larger screen will be as good as the LED backlit one... it looked SOOO Beautiful... definitely more power... But not as much as you think.... 8400gs/gt CAN play crysis on low/med at 30fps... just look on youtube...

And xps1330 is up to 2.2ghz c2d right?

Anyways... 13 inch is kinda "too little" in some ways... 15.4 is the perfect spot...

I actually believe in coming years 14 inch widescreen will dominate and 15.4 will become the new 17 inch... If technology and companies do the move...
Alienware already started it with 8800m gtx in a 15.4 incher... WOW...

 

i just took this deal...it was freaking amazing!!!

i got everything i needed plus more for 1100 taxed and overnight shipped!!

too bad i'll get it taken away as soon as i get it b/c i got a ****ing "B" in math...

 

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought it was a good deal!

 

Err... what?

 

I thought it was a great deal and just cancelled my order to get the extra $300.00 off so thanks for mentioning it. I know this may not be some peoples ideal computer, but it is a good deal for the price in my opinion. Here is what I got for $1100.00 dollars.

rickson... i think you made a mistake by paying dell for the extra ram. Best idea is to order with just 1 gb of ram. You can get 4gb of memory for about $100 if you look around. I would have used that money to get the T7500 processor, a bigger HD, etc...

Just my thoughts.

 

americanpierg, I liked how you got this out to slickdeals too.

 

Great deal - BUT....You should have got the Deal plan....I just ordered the exact same configuration as you but I got the three year warrnety! So I ended up paying $1314 .....but I got a $200 gift card! So it paid for itself

 

Got it to work but coupon expired for me.

 

Do you have one of those dell stands at your mall?

 

I was looking for the dell deal plan or something similar, but was not certain which configuration and deal you are referring to.

I got the deal mentioned before but when I used the coupon it just took off the $200 giftcard, so that was a wash.

Thanks, Brad

 

Huh? I'm at home.

 

Yea, I myself wasn't able to get the $200 gift card, but regardless, since the coupon stacks, its like getting the $200 off instantly anyway.

 

My mall has a stand with Dell XPS notebooks and huge ass TVs on display. They sell stuff there. The guys said that they ALWAYS give better deals then online - and it was true. They got me $300 off, then an additional $42 off + $200 gift card for getting the Dell Plan, then another $50 on top of that - pretty sick. This is what it looked like on my invoice (the extra $50 doesnt show up but it was given)


$100 off plus additional $200 off for orders $1499 and more! - $300.00

3% off on DellCare Value Bundle and a $200 Gift Card on system purchases $1499 and above! - $42.21

 

Ooh, that's pretty cool. I'm pretty sure we have one but I never knew they have them.

 

I cant get the $200 coupon to work. Says its expired or exceeded number of uses.

 

Yeah go check it out tomorrow if you can! I bought mine today during my lunch hour - it was great because I could ask the guy as many questions as I needed.

 

The coupon has now expired, but you will still get the $200 gift card in its place. It just means you will have to spend more $$ at Dell when the gift card comes.

 

....since my 1520 has the headphone issue, is seems like it would be worth just getting a refund and going with this offer because 500 off 1499+ for an XPS seems better than 400 off a 1299 inspiron

 

It is more like $550 off

 

Well I got the giftcard from Dell for ordering the inspiron anyway, but I dont consider it a discount really since I dont have more that I had planned on buying from Dell. I will because otherwise the coupon would go to waste, but yeah.

Perhaps with new coupons on the 20th I will see, since my warranty will still be valid for 3 more days, but really I'm not sure it makes all that much of a difference. I'd be getting a better graphics card but lower screen resolution, paying about 100$ extra, and not getting a gift card. Oh well.

 

You can get a ton of stuff from the Dell store - like Xboxes and digital cameras!
