    Guys/ Gals. Coming back off deployment and want a new laptop to great me at the door as my present for 6 months of hell. Our internet at sea is ridiculously slow if it works at all. If you happen to see a coupon for the
    E1705 with anything close to the follwing specs please throw me a bone and email me at [email protected]. I keep missing these coupons by less than one day and it's driving me nuts. :mad:

    E-1705
    1.86mhz/ 666 DUAL
    TRUE BRIGHT screen
    1GB memory
    60 to 80 GB @ 7200RPM
    open to any variations.

    Thanks,
    David

    Yes the 7900. Uniot is $2049 but with $750 coupon should come out to $1200 some.

    Thanks in advance,

    David

    Thanks to all and I finally bought the 1705.

    They do not combine discounted prices with any other discount offers, military discounts (6% by the way), etc. So the best I could do was to take the $750 coupon off of the $2221 original price = 1471 plus sales tax, and shipping , Final cost = $1593.

    This is the best price I could get. By the way the other coupons are only for 350 and 450, so the 750 was the top coupon out there, and also it EXPIRES on 6/7/06. I didn't have time to go back and forth. I read the disclaimer in the internet and it did say that it cannot be used in conjunction with other discount offers. It does kind of lure you in though. At any rate, I went ahead and ordered it. It will be sent out by June 15, and takes 3-5 business days to get here.
