    I just used NB3325 in cart on a dv5t at $1,108.25 and I get the error "The coupon entered does not apply to the items in your shopping cart. Please review the coupon for products included in this offer." Seems this needs to be higher than $999 perhaps?

    ETA: Does not work at $1,202.25 nor $1,296.25. Maybe the dv5t does not count.

    I did a cross check on the coupon code for 20% off the Studio 15 and 17 laptop, and it does not exist. It is ONLY for the Inspiron line of laptops.

    ANDREW, I suggest you change this offer since it does not exist. False hopes for people.

    Sorry, but I just call it as I see it. Dell sends us an email every week, and a screenshot clearly shows they intend for this to work on the Studio line of laptops and that the offer was in fact extended into October, see attached. Maybe it'll start working soon. I got this email Friday.

    ANDREW, click on that "Get HTML" link in that e-mail attachment and see what it shows. I still cannot get the coupon code to work and an error message pops up saying it is only valid on Inspiron laptops $999.99 and over on the configuration order page. Something isn't right.

    Having 20% off would really help right now for a Studio laptop... :)

    I just tried the Dell 30% off coupon on a Studio 17 and it didn't work for me either. Thanks for getting my hopes all up, OP. :( I guess I'll have to go for the HP dv7t insead.

    The HP deal is incorrect. I configured at $1,167.99 and it doesn't work. According to the post under Laptop Deals, the total has to be $1,399.00.

    It does if the total is $1,399 or higher. The deal posted at the top is wrong, it needs to be $1,399 or more not $999. They would be out of their minds to offer $500 off $999 - that would be 50% off!
