Question:
Just bought E1505...good buy? O.o
I've finally made up my mind and decided to go for the E1505.
Been battling with many sales rep over the phone to try to get the 5% off 899 deal (kiosk only) stack up with the coupons but no luck.
Below are the details of the system I ordered thru phone,
specs:
Intel® Core™ Duo processor T2400 (2MB Cache/1.83GHz/667MHz FSB)
15.4 inch UltraSharp™ Wide Screen SXGA+ Display with TrueLife™
2GB, DDR2, 533MHz 2 Dimm for Inspiron 6400/E1505
256MB ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X1400 HyperMemory™
100GB 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive (no more 7200rpm HD available)
8X CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW) with double-layer DVD+R write capability
Intel® PRO 3945 and Dell 350 Bluetooth Internal Wireless Cards
53 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
1Yr Ltd Warranty, 1Yr Mail-In Service, and 1Yr HW Warranty Support
Genuine Windows® XP Media Center 2005 Edition re-installation CD
Remote Control for Windows XP Media Center Edition
final cost was 2000 - 750 - 35 - 25 (special discount) = 1190
plus tax and free shipping = 1260
Any comments on the above?
Personally I think it's a pretty good deal, although it may be possible to push even further. What do you guys think?

Whoa, great deal. Especially the graphic card. But 53 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery, only? Are you going to take it while on the go? If not, that laptop is great.

prob a mistake not to get the 9 cell, and a mistake to get 2gb ram (as it's way too expensive!)
check my sig
i also paid about the same(1221), but with 2 batts, 2ghz, but 1gb RAM, and 120gb HD

This laptop will be mainly for home use and won't be carried around too much so battery life isn't really an issue for me.
As for the memory, personally, I would rather double the ram than getting 0.17 GHz more for the processor.
Just my opinion.

The 7200 rpm drives are still available on the configuration page...

The sales rep over there told me that those 7200 rpm HD are no long available even though they're available online at the configuration page.
Over there in their system, it will pop up an error msg if they try to put it through, so I went for the 100GB 5400rpm instead.
