    You could also keep your eyes peeled and keep a lookout on Dell's Online Outlet.

    Not necessarily. If you get a good deal, jump on it.

    true, but in general, the prices would generally tend to get lower as days go by.

    Yeah, they would get lower, but then you'd be looking at something else because there would be better stuff out

    prices will always go down, but then again, you may miss a great deal if you pass one by. Just get the notebook when you need it.

    rydude is right. Sure, prices will generally go down, but if you can use a big coupon now, I'd do it; since even if the prices go down a little, there's no guarantee that there will be a coupon available at that time.
