    Here is the config and price of my 1520. I wanted to ask or see if any of you could get it to a lower price.....because some of the discounts are really weird and aren't showing up for some people, etc. I am ordering through the EPP program I think.

    Looks good, but you can get the same thing from other companies for around the same price. If you are dead set on Dell, then go right ahead though. You might think about choosing a better Wi-Fi card on second thought...

    Yeah, I understand. However, it's for my brother and he doesn't really have time to research more models. I can only look at things like Dell, Sony, HP right now and since we are getting such a big discount, I thought it was the best idea.

    Also, I brought it down to around $1420 with the $200 coupon.
