    Howso? I just ordered a laptop 12 hours ago with the 30% coupon... :cry

    Did I leave 8% on the table? :(

    I still got a pretty ok deal though, although I did pony up for the 3 year warranty...

    Basically, the only difference would have been your length of Warranty.

    How so ?
    He did get the 3 year warranty.

    And the extra 8% works out to be ~$200 on a 1600 system

    I got the 3 year warranty, but, still, after messing it with it, just just wasn't worth the hassle and I couldn't get the price as low on EPP web site for some reason. The 30% coupon I used was a pretty good deal.

    There's always better out there, just do what you can when you can... :rofl

    Well, it seemed to me when I was pricing it out that anything on the EPP seemed more expensive than the regular Dell site, even before discounts....

    That could be it. I only configured 1 laptop, and it was $100 more after all the EPP discounts.

    I got a E1505 2GHz, 2GB, 160HD X1400, Bluetooth, Intel Wireless, 3yr warranty for $1246. Not that bad really...

    I did a check and the EPP is more expensive, the difference is about 100$ and also on the warranty they get you
    I been having trouble configuring mine (it kept giving me more costly options than I wanted) and sent them an email asking for help and I got this back
    I would love to help you. However,I would require the service tag of the
    system which is a 5-7 digit alpha numeric code located on the bottom panel
    of laptop.

    My reply was " So, how can I get a serial number of something that I have not bought yet, Here's your sign"

    I wanted to say thanks for your site. I was going to order dell laptop with coupon and when I went to site last thursday and the deal wasn't listed and dell was no help. I did google search and brought this site up. Was able to find the coupon code and got the laptop I wanted. Ordered E1505 with 2ghz cpu, 1 gig ram, dvd drive, 120 gig ram, 256meg video and bluetooth and 3 year warranty for 930 bucks with tax. Thanks
