    Guys and girls,

    Maybe you can help clear something up for me.

    I'm in the process of ordering a new Inspiron 13z off the website to replace my M1530.
    Now, if you go to the 13z page, you're presented with 3 options.
    The first is a standard build that you can customize, but you're not given the money off.
    The next two are offering £110 off - pretty sweet.

    But, if I re-spec Deal 2 to the same as Deal 3, I'm saving £30.
    I've checked and re-checked - all is the same. Am I missing something here? Surely I must be losing out on something, or is this a bit of a Dell-ism, squeezing a bit of extra money out of people who don't want to bother customizing their order?

    Cheers,

    J
