    Hi all, been lurking for some time and I have a question...

    I've been itching to buy a new laptop, been back and forth on what exactly I think I need... I've kind of settled on the Studio 17. I'm guess I'm worried I'll order it and then a new "coupon" will be put out that would have saved me cash... Probably a stupid question but does anyone have info on deals that might be coming out for this? I know probably not but doesn't hurt to ask :eek:

    Thanks

    Deal altering coupons always come out on Thursday morning for Dell. They generally have a limited number of uses (see Dell Coupons section) before they expire.

    They tend to alternate between %off and $$off, and if you miss a deal it will probably come back if you wait long enough.

    There will always be a deal coming out. When I bought my dell within a week there was an additional $200 I could have saved, but I stayed with my stable laptop rather then sending it back for $200. So dont wait forever because there will always be something around the corner.

    Hey,
    Deals come and go....Just like new technology...ever changing... ;) :)

    So, what you don't do today...you may miss out on a good deal..But there will always be more forthcoming ;) :)

    I guess it comes down to how badly you want your lappy & how long you can wait for that *good deal*!!!!

    Good luck,

    Cin ;) :)

    Thanks for the replies. Always sucks to buy tech stuff since it's always moving so quickly... I guess I'll give it until tomorrow to see if any big bargains come out.
