    I am trying to figure out when would be the best time to purchase the Dell Inspiron 9100. Right now until Wednesday there is 15% off, free shipping, and a free RAM upgrade from 256 MB to 512MB (total comes to $1528). Should I buy it before Wednesday or should I wait? Someone said on here that there is going to be a 20% off coupon for orders coming out on 6/23. Is this true? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you so much![ :)]

    Actually on the 9100 it is only 10% off...and I dont think you can use the student discount with it because it did not change my price at all.

    yes, it is true, i'm not lieing ;)

    however, Dell might take away offers that exist now or jack up the price so my recommendation is to buy on the 23 and then if the offer is sweeter the next day call Dell and they'll match that price.

    the code for the 15% is B152R50KN$B$LB
    code for 20% for $1799 inspiron is FM88?$GLSP34V1

    as abaxter stated purchase the laptop on june 23 and if the prince with the new promo is better then just cancel the previous order.

    So we can use that 20% off code now?

    I thought it was said the deal is going to change to 20% after Wednesday.

    Abaxter said that all you would have to do is call them...not necessarily cancel the order but just tell them and they should be able to figure it all out. That is not 100% so dont quote me on that, but that is what I took from what he said. Im ordering mine tomorrow hoping that that coupon FM88?$GLSP34V1 (exp. June 22) will still be able to be used on June 22. We shall see.
