Is there any indication Dell is going to give more than 25% or $500? Are they going to bring back the 50% discount again for a day?

Honestly, I am a student (therefore I am poor) and am looking for a Dell 700m. Any help? Should I wait for a bigger discount or should I buy now?

 

I think if you can get a brand new Dell 700M with the extended battery for around 900 bucks then it is a good deal.
