    Aaah, it was giving me a price of ~1100 for the e1505, didnt strike me that it was AFTER the 35% discount :D
    So they think the retail price of an e1505 is like 1800...what ARE they smoking ?? :D

    It's a horrible deal. Comes out to be $200 more over normal prices. I'm glad they're gonna start doing away with coupons.

    It's definitely a horrible deal. Do the same config through dell home and you'll come up with a price thats lower, and that's before all the dell home coupon codes you can find.

    yea, i remember when i was ordering my e1705, i tried the epp route, and every config was 200 above what i could get in the regular home route. i even bought a 30% epp coupon off ebay (i was considering xps at the same time, too), and that didn't beat the deal i got in home with the 750 coupon.

    all their epp prices are bloated, so the discount looks like it's doing something.

    Maxing everything out is the only way to get your EPP deal lower than everything else. Standard configurations are still cheaper through home and home coupons.

    epp is a marketing gimmick.
    they force you into the MS office suite ($200??), unnecessary warranties, max you out at T2500 cpu, start you at 1GB memory, etc...
    you're buy more of their vendors' parts that you don't need and then take off 35% like it made it any better. it's like trading in your old car for a new car, they make you think you're getting top dollar for your trade but they stick with you $100 under MSRP for the new car.

    However, as soon as that 35% off EPP coupon comes back, I'm jumping on it like white on rice. In these cases, they don't force you into vendor add-ons and can start from the base model like in the regular home section.

    /end opinion.

    When will this offer end actually? I am hoping till the mid of August this offer will still exist because the price of the proccessor will absolutely go down as soon as Merom comes out.
