Last night for Cyber monday, I ordered a Studio 15 for my wife.
,i3-370M , 4GB RAM, 500GB @ 7200HD, backlit keyboard, only the intel HD graphics (she will not do any gaming) its only for websurfing, email and some lite MS Office )Word and Excel. The system was only $574
I thought this would be better than an Inspiron. I wanted to spend around $500-600. I think a 14 or 15 would be best, as she doesnt travel much.
Today I went back to the dell site, and there is no more Studio. in a chat box, they tell me it has been discontinued. The inspiron is about the same price, but does not come with a backlit keyboard, and the replacement XPS 15 is around 900 (but comes with an i5) which I dont think she needs.
So should I cancel this order? or did I get a good deal?

currently available online, you can purchase a newer
XPS 15 within that price range.
The specs are surely better, with the i5-460M, nVidia GT420M GPU, 4GB RAM,
500GB 7200RPM HDD, backlit keyboard, and the awesome JBL sound system.
The configuration with the 720P screen calculates to 670+.
If preferred, you can upgrade to the 1080P
FHD R+BG LED screen.
The price calculates to $720+.
Based on the current discounts & codes, the price difference is only
$50 to upgrade to the FHD R+BG LED screen.
So those are like the baseline prices, then add more if
you want to change the specs & warranty.
Depending on where you are, add more for taxes also.
If you prefer the XPS 14, there are coupons for it also.
It's all up to you now if you want to spend that amount of money
on a discontinued model or for the latest XPS model.
Good luck! -
the XPS would be much better, thanks. I have tried a bunch of coupons, but none work. Can you point me to one? thx
-
Sure, no problem.
I just tested these coupon codes just now.
All the coupon codes listed still work.
Better hurry. Hehe! Who knows how long these will last.
