    Stackable - does this mean it can be comboed with the $200 mail in rebate I've seen at dell.com?

    $700 back if you option the 700m over 1500?

    What?!?!?! That just seems too good to be true. The 500 coupon worked for me but it didnt subtract another 200 for the rebate. Are you sure it works? The rebate itself states the 200 dollars off is only what you get if you buy at the normal price.

    I think the 200 dollar is a mail in rebate and not an instant rebate. By the way, I thought the 500 dollar off was listed not to expire until 6AM tomorrow. That's weird.

    Yep, Notebook Reviews coupon page cited expiration at 6 am Friday morning. But I had a similar problem with expiration long before then. Did NR screw up or Dell? Does anyone know where the source data for those posts comes from?

    I hate dell. I checked other sites afterwards and they listed the expiration time as 6am on friday too but noted that it had been cut off at 3pm central time the day before.

    I was about to get my dad to guy buy me a nice 8600 for cheap.

    SCREW YOU DELL!
