    I am interested in one of the Latitude E6400. The dell site automatically gives you something like $260 off. If I call in to dell and speak to a sales rep is there anything else that they might be able to do?

    Maybe a few percent off...I haven't been able to get much more out of them. They are pretty well priced against the T400, so I'm thinking Dell isn't going to change their position on price much more.

    Sales reps can negotiate. If they don't sound like they will, ask to speak to a supervisor or call back and talk to another one. When I bought my M1730, did what he called a "price match". He asked me how much I was willing to pay for the laptop, and they went for it. YMMV.
