    Hi guys, I ordered a xps m1330 on december 12th and it's arriving this friday (hopefully).
    The thing is that it costed me 1106 euro with a couple of discounts, and I was quite happy, but today, I received an e-mail from dell with a new 10% discount code until 8th January, I've made the same configuration and its cheaper than the one I got.

    Not only cheaper, but now dell is giving the wireless n card for free, so I could get the n card for the same price I paid for. And if I add the T7500 (I ordered the T7250), it would only cost me 54 euro more.

    So basically, for 54 euro more I could get the same 1330 I ordered plus wireless n card and t7500, that otherwise would cost about 150-200 euro.

    Do I have any chance to get them by canceling the order (having already been shipped)? Should I just leave it go and dont think about it? :(

    Actually I didnt care about the wireless n card, but well, all the new technologies are always welcome and maybe in the future I would regret about it.

    Thanks for your responses!

    If the order has already been shipped you'll have to receive it first and then send it back to cancel.

    Or Ask deal to give you a discount. The Intel cards can be bought online for cheap, but the T7500 is not cheap.

    I will wait until friday when I hope I receive the laptop and I'll call dell to ask. In case I decide to return it, I would have to send the laptop to Ireland (I'm from spain) myself?
    Or I could keep it until I get the new one?
    anyone has got any experience on this?

    I totally want the t7500 and the wireless n card, but hell, having waited for a month I just want my laptop now! :p

    You would have to send the laptop back in order to cancel, and then re-order the new one unless you have enough room on your CC (if that's how you ordered it) to purchase another complete system.

    Keep in mind though, you only have certain time limits as to when you can send the system back so holding on to the first while waiting for the 2nd you ordered could cause problems.
