    The AW Ebay store seems to stock only pre-Dell takeover AW products.

    It's a decent price, you can always wait on dell outlet coupons that float around sometimes. Just remember that dell outlet laptops are hit and miss in quality even though they are under warranty.

    Dell outlet often distribute coupons to offset their high prices for refurb systems. Make sure you find one first.

    ah cool cool im going to do a search for some dell outlet cupons and see whats comes up
    also i know they are hit and miss with being refurbed and all but they are under warranty so that means if they come to me bad they just come out and fix what ever is bad right ?

    I have bought a few outlet machines over the years and they were essentially brand new for one heck of a savings... I just looked on there to check out some prices and they have some decent machines that are fairly loaded for the $$...

    That's very close to my spec, and I paid 2450 after tax and shipping.
