    Hi All,

    Could some people give some recomendations of Canadian based forum for talking/discussing Dell products?

    Canada Dell products and prices are different to the US and it would be nice to have Canadian based discussions around dell products..

    Thanks in advance..

    Kind regards,
    G

    To be honest, there isn't much to talk about for Dell Canada pricing. Deals are far and few between and usually get posted here if they are any good. There are actually quite a few Canadians here.

    The Canada and US product lineups are practically identical right now.

    I agree; other than pricing differences (and sadly, they are HUGE differences :mad: ), what can be configured on the US site can similarly be done here, it seems. GeorgeJ, are you noticing specific differences for Canadian Dell products?

    I say, lot of the deals for Canada are not as good as the US based ones, but other then that, most of the system configs, specs and options seem to be identical. Normally only seem minor deals for Inspiron, Studio and Vostro. No Latitude deals... :(
    One thing I noticed, no link from NBR to purchase from Dell Canada so they know I did all my research here like the US based links. Maybe something to add. :)

    Thanks all for your input...

    I noticed that we Canadian's always get a limited choice of hardware... we dont seem to get the vast array of options on systems that the US gets.. and price seems to be slightly more in some systems with comparable systems in the US...

    Just wondering if there is a forum to discuss things like coupons, special pricings and savings for dell products in general...

    Not really, though we could create a Dell Canada Deals topic and try to get it stickied.

    I'm not noticing the limited choice in hardware like there used to be up here. It is often delayed a bit more, and always more expensive, but usually the same stuff.
