Wow that was a wall of text.. sorry lol I had a lot on my chest I wanted to get off.
-
If you need a contact, let me know, my rep was very cool.
-
Mind PMing me your contact, in case I decide to reorder something. Thanks
-
Just make sure your contacts don't mind if there info is given out.
It is the courtesy thing to do especially if the rep was cool and got you some discounts
-
I will email my rep, this will be a good test for this tread
He is off until Monday.

I don't know a rep you can call, even if I did, some people have been having a hard time getting them to pick up the phone. I can say that a lot of folks here don't get a good deal with the first call. In my case, I had to call 3 people and the 3 person was the charm

Make sure your dealing with a US based rep for one, and just ask right off and politely, what % you will like, be realistic, 5, 10, 15, sometimes 20%. If you don't get anywhere with your rep, what 30 mins or so and call back. If you call back alot in a few hours it well annoy them, and at the end of a shift, they are less likely to put up with strong arming, its better to be cool, and just ask for a fair deal. You can also say you are looking at the Asus G73JH-A1 which is cheaper than the AW M17X R2 by hundreds of dollars, but your willing to pay more for quality. Good luck
My thoughts;
I do not understand way AW/Dell has such a hard time giving a discount to the 20% of their customers that actually ask for it, I mean really, if you add up the sales just from this site, I am sure the volume makes up for the 5-20% being had. Most people don't even think to ask for a discount. -
I guess don't get caught up in all the "" discounts, let them know you qualify for one, but just ask for the total discount you would like, they seem to get confused when they have a base price that starts out at a discount. Example, a Beer Keg is $100.00 base price, you say I have a student discount of 10%, so now the base price to them is $90.00, then you ask for 20% off, well that would be $72.00 or 28% off the beginning base price of $100.00, they will not go for it. 20% max seems to be it. Ask for 20% at the beginning, and go from there, tell them a co-worker got that deal, but do not strong arm them, that will make them give two ishes about you.

its not just weight but just having a little more battery life is also nice too and cause i want to be able to reuse an good size laptop bag without having to buy a new one . also i did look at the m17x and was yes i wanted this at first but then saw how much i lacked in money to buy it so im trying to get something with the same quality but having to fork over less cash to dell
