best deal for alienware m15x

i'm looking for the best deal for the m15x, i want the GTX 260m, 4 gigs of ram, and the 9-cell battery. which store gives the best price for these options or can i haggle a sale rep to give me the graphics card upgrade for free?

 

just go to dell it will be the best you can get

 

I agree with Moo here, go to dell so you and pick their great waranty options, just make sure you cantact them online, if you phone them you are put on hold for half an hour and then they 'accidently' hang up on you xD

 

Actually, when you do your initial research and pin down your configuration you want, print it out. Once you have it in hand, call Dell Sales and speak with a rep. Let them know you want to order the system and have a configuration in mind and would like a Sales Quote. Run through it and see what kind of price they can come up with. Once at a price, ask them if they can drop the price if you order today. See what they can come up with. The phone reps are able to deal and make adjustments.

Once you have a 'lowest' price from the rep, ask them to save the quote and email it to you. Wait a few days and call back. Inform the sales rep you have a quote in the system and ask them to pull it up. Once they have it, ask them to beat it either by dropping the price or upgrading options at no cost. Some components have more room to haggle.

Its worth a shot. I have saved quite a bit of money going this route in addition to ordering via my employer's EPP program.

 

thanks all. and one more thing do you think they will drop the prices by january with the new Dx11 cards or what?

 

and i tried this a couple of days back and they said that they can't give me any discounts on top of the 100$ holiday discount.

 

same with me and trust me i tried

they are cracking down

 

if your planning on getting a extended warranty, than you can haggle the preice of the warranty down but i think thats pretty much it.

 

The best deal for the m15x is mine its on ebay look it up

 

guys, i talked with 2 different rep and both of them told me the same thing : we can't give you a discount or free upgrades cause the system won't allow us. is that true or are they just trying to get rid of me?

 

Go through Dell's EDP Department. Not Alienware or regular Dell. I started off talking to somebody called Team Blackhawk and they were somewhat responsive until the guy lied to me and told me I couldn't get the 10% and the $99.00 mini together. I called EDP and had no trouble getting the deal I wanted.
