Question:
About to buy this e1505 set-up
But with all the good coupons gone, I am thinking of calling Dell for a better deal. Here is what I am about to buy and the total price. How much lower can I get the price to be? My original budget is 1000 and I have exceeded that but I hope that with the discounts I will be able to finally get this thing done with an get ready for college
BTW I am buying through Dell EPP

Re: About to buy this e1505 set-up
woah didn't even notice the coupon were gone anyhow! the best bet is to go through epp and customize it there.
here's a quick guide to epp customizing!
go to: www.dell.com/epp
type in: bs22960657 (for the id)
click notebooks
entertainment
then go to e1505! the one you desire
click customize
since you budget is 1000$ i'm bettin you could +/- a bit therefore
customize the 973$ one
click the 3 year warrant. If i'm correct 3 year gives you an addition 4% total of 12% off during check out compare to 8% on the 2 year/1=4%
