Dell Studio 15 Qs

hey guys i think i am about to make an impulse move, by buying a studio 15 that right now is at 749 with awesome spec but im debating if i should upgrade the screen + battery life i know it will still come out to be 800 something so not that much more but i want to save money plus i want to do that monthly charge, is anyone here doing that? if so please explain how that works, can anyone get approved of that? like me? 18 year old, college student, unemployed?




thanks in advance need answers asap!

 

If you have no credit history or a poor credit history, you probably won't get approved for Dell credit.

 

i got a cc, new though haven't recieve my first statement yet

 

A credit card is not credit history.

 

yeah...**** it i really want the studio 15 right now, question how much more hrs would i get with the 85Whr

 

Don't use the DPA unless you get some sort of 12 months 0% because the interest rates are ridiculously high, like 29.99%

With the 9 cell you'd probably see 3.5 to 4 hours.

 

well i want to do the DPA because i don't have the full 800-900

 

You will not get approved.

 

As a student you can easily find a credit card or two large enough to hold that balance. Trust me, you do not want to pay the DPA's interest fees.

 

Yeah, that's a good idea - load up on credit card debt because that's what's making our economy so successful.

 

What do you think the DPA is?

 

Did I advocate getting Dell credit?

 

The OP was considering putting the entire balance on the DPA and I gave other options to save a considerable amount of money. Your post has nothing to do with this thread and if off topic.

 

I agree with atbnet, a student credit card (like the one I have with Bank of America) has a starting limit of around $1000.

@Lihus, it wasn't the credit crunch that started this whole mess. Financial leverage (i.e. 'credit') is what drives the economy. It's when corporate greed, predatory lending practices, and government plans get involved that the curtain comes crashing down. Nothing wrong with a credit card in and of itself.

 

The voice of the entitlement generation!

 

And what exactly do you mean by that? The OP is paying for it himself, not his parents.

 

"entitlement generation" my foot. Speaking for the twenty-somethings I know, I don't feel 'entitled' to anything. And I've learned more from the internet (forums, wikis, and straight googling stuff) than I have from higher education (which I have to pay back loans for that are in my name not my parents)

Hooray for one-line generalizations~

 

I agree, I already have more in student loans than my parents paid for their house years and years ago. I really don't want to hear that we are just given everything.
