    The deal Is dead now. Otherwise the coupons would still be on ebay. The 35% off coupons expired that’s why no sellers are selling them on ebay. I posted this 3 days ago when the deal was still active. But don’t worry... there will be a similar deal coming soon...

    Apply $35 off $300 coupon


    That coupon is only for use in the electronics and accessories department. I bought it on ebay and found that afterwards. Bummer.

    Wow, Dell is already giving these away practicually at $584. Gotta love they're deals. =)


    They should start having two for one specials. That'd be so tight.

    They should start just giving them away. May as well...

    As a side-note, I'll probably be buying one of these when I can accumulate the cash, and I'll then be reviewing it. Whaddaya know, maybe I'll have the first review of it on here. =3

    EDIT: I just realized something, that probably no one will even care about, but, it's kind of funny I'll be getting an E1405, when my first laptop was an Inspiron 4150 (anagram of 1405).
