Might be the solution to the availability problems with the GeForce Go 6800's. :D
And you can substitute the current dell coupons to (possibly) get a little more off: (on the nicely-upgraded machine I configured, it was another $100 or so)
ZJ$ZBMC?LLD249 $750 off purchase of Inspiron $1999+ (expires 2/1/2006 7:00:00 AM)
HPX2C7BK7TXCM9 $450 off purchase of Inspiron $1599+ (expires 2/1/2006 7:00:00 AM)
W84?D893NM7DM5 $300 off purchase of Inspiron $1299+ (expires 2/1/2006 7:00:00 AM)

And it's dual core capable.

These coupons seem to be useless. The Inspirons and E1705 are already 20-25 percent off and you can't combine a coupon with that. So why did they release the coupons? Or am I missing something here?

How would you go about upgrading down the road?

Upgrading what? The CPU?

This is weird. I thought all of the E1705 were dual core also, but judging from the link, this is the single core. Here is the link from the first post:

These coupons are valid only for the single core E1705, not dual. You don't get a choice to upgrade it in the configuration settings.

I noticed it only offers the "Intel® Core™ Solo Processor T1300 (1.66GHz/667MHz FSB)"
Is this processor a good one? What about for gaming?
Answer:
Re: Inspiron E1705 $1087 deal, upgradeable to GeForce Go 7800
In gaming what matters most is the GPU, this processor should be adequate since it's a step above from the previous one.
