FOR THE ALIENWARE M17X LAPTOP
I have an extra E-value code if anyone wants it:
Code: 6F980-DKPCQU3
THATS FOR:
Q9000 QUAD CORE 2.0 GHZ
4GBDDR 1066
250GB HARD DRIVE
DUAL NVIDIA GTX 280M IN SLI
ALL FOR $2,299
THATS A GREAT DEAL, SOMEONE HERE SHOULD USE IT.
YOUR WELCOME
PROPS TO RAVEN & SLEEPY FOR HELPING ME ON MY $300 REFUND.
JUST TRYIN TO GIVE BACK.
-
-
is that from your booklet?
-
with the E-Value Code you gave, I configured the system I bought from it and it would have saved me $350.
That sucks...
How did you find it? -
-
It still cost $200 MORE for me using the evalue code vs the epp+dpa discount. The only difference is I bought a P8700 and the code would come with a Q9000.
-
-
Can anyone give step by step directions on how to utilize the University discount alongside the E-value code?
-
that's why you use the e-value code at the EPP site. lol
Anyway, I already have a 12 page thread about this evalue code but thanks anyway, la. -
Yep, the DPA works as well. It's only 3% now instead of 4%, but you get a total of 10% off when using EPP and DPA.
-
To use EPP, you need to either be in the military or work for a state. Do all of you here work for such organizations????
-
You obviously don't know what EPP is then.
Every employer I have worked for since I was 19 years old all had EPP accounts with Dell (I am an RN and every health care company did). Most major companies have an EPP account for their employees (think Walmart, etc lol)
The military does NOT use EPP - AAFES handles military orders and discounts. -
-
I have no idea, I am self employed and I was just looking at dell's info on EPP. I was lazy and did not read everything. -
-
But BONUS, NO TAX! and FREE SHIPPING!~~~
-
-
-
the tax on my system is going to be 400-500 : < -
You say anyone can use EPP but you need to be working for a partner company right? It's not like you can use give me the code of your company and I can use it???

drake
you can get any deal from home thru epp.
yes, i used the evalue code on the epp site -
-
Then on the left you'll see an area to enter an evalue code. Or you can click on the catalog picture on the EPP home page and just select the configuration from there. -
this is the same code Sleey0 posted....
-
-
i just found this code today in the mail from my dell catalog. -
Damn, I hate being Canadian..I don't get for discounts :/
-
You have to be US citizen to use that EPP code? But if i study in US and have EU country passport?
-

So for someone who is a student and not DPA, this code (to get the speical deal on specific config) and the 7% for EPP are the best I can hope for? (aside from one on one haggling with the sales rep over phone)
Now I may try selling the whitebook again.....damit haha -
Your sig says you're in Estonia, and therefore if that's true you'd have to order from Dell-EU and have it delivered to you there in which case this E-Value code will not work. -
cookinwitdiesel Retired Bencher
Not only would the evalue code not work, you would also get charged a huge premium as they overcharge a hell of a lot for EU customers apparently. Definitely get this machine while you are in the US.
-
Thanks for clearing things up for me, and i'l never purchase expensive machinery from EU, mo****f****g robbers. Trying to protect their local companies from overrunning buy outsiders, but those few companies (if there is any?) don't produce anything, at least not with normal quality.
Now i got too excited.. sry for that, but it always ticks me off when i start talking about our great EU politics.... my arse, thats what it is. -

well, here is something else to chew on:
Dell (directly)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000
4GB DDR3-1066
WUXGA 17" 1920x1200
Dual Nvidia GTX280m SLI
250 GB 7,200rpm HDD
Slot Load Blu-Ray Reader
$2568.37 (includes tax and S&H - using EPP and the coupon code)
MicroCenter (online only)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000
4GB DDR3-1066
WUXGA 17" 1920x1200
Dual Nvidia GTX260m SLI
500 GB 7,200rpm HDD
Slot Load Blu-Ray Reader
$2299.99
Shipping = $20
Sam's Club
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000
4GB DDR3-1066
WUXGA 17" 1920x1200
Dual Nvidia GTX260m SLI
500 GB 7,200rpm HDD
Slot Load DVD Combo Drive
$2118 (includes shipping)
The Dell config may be a little different from what you got in mind, this was just what I had spec'd as it is what I am interested in. Should be able to get any of these within the US no problem. -
You should also toss up the MicroCenter/Sam Club config (they're the same with the exception of the DVD) if directly ordered from Del using EPP and coupon code for better comparison. (i.e. do it with 500GB Drive and Dual 260M's)
-
Do they actually ask for anything to use the EPP?
Do you have to have an email from the employer?
What happens if they find out that you are not working for the company's EPP you are using??? Will they ask you to pay the difference?
I am looking into buying another PC for my brother and wonder if I could use the EPP and E-Value code safely. The same config than mine comes out about $800 cheaper. -

This was more of me looking for suggestions as I will hopefully be ordering one of these in the next week.
The coupon gets me a cheaper config option for Dell that only has 280m SLI for graphics option, which is ok as I tend to want the best and will regret having to upgrade down the road for higher cost. I would also upgrade my own hard drives, that was the lowest option. I believe right now this is the cheapest way to get gtx 280m's. The base on the Dell special config is Q9000 , 1440x900 screen, GTX 280m SLI, for $2,299 before 7% off, so that is still an amazing deal if you ask me. -

I am using epp as a student
I have a .edu email -
I have been using EPP for the last 10 years and haven't once been asked for anything from anyone.
Except this one time when the FBI knocked on my door and apparently my EPP member code didn't match -
That's good to know. I wish I knew this before though. -

Don't sell my MacBook Pro, don't sell my MacBook Pro, don't sell my MacBook Pro...
I would want OS X on whatever laptop I get after my MacBook Pro. Hopefully, Apple will release a more powerful MacBook Pro with SLI in a year or two. I wonder if the current NVIDIA OS X drivers work with laptop SLI. I could probably get a great deal with the EPP discount I can get through my father (he does do goverment contracts). What's DPA again? -
you really want to wait a yr or two for apple to catch up to the M17x?
-
MICHAELSD01 Apple/Alienware Master
I hope that Apple eventually releases a SLI laptop with the latest hardware at the time of launch.
-
I think Apple will release an SLI MBP when Mr. Jobs decides to sell them for $99.95
-
MICHAELSD01 Apple/Alienware Master
I think you should move that decimal point two places to the right
.
-
We all know that if apple ever releases SLI in a laptop, the world will end.
-
-
MICHAELSD01 Apple/Alienware Master
I know that you were trying to say that Apple would never release a SLI laptop. I changed that around to say that they would release it if it was a ridiculous price
.
-
Isn't Apple STILL refusing to add blu-ray options to their systems?
What a stubborn, stuck-up JOKE of a company.....
