$70 Dell Gift Card, What Should I Get For My M1530?

Anyone have any suggestions on what would be a good accessory to get from the Dell Accessory store with my $70 gift card for my XPS M1530?

I was thinking about the Lexar ExpressCard SSD, however it seems to be a bit old and outdated now. What have you all purchased to accompany your laptop?

P.S. I've already got a decent mouse, usb hub, usb tv tuner, external hdd, and speakers.

 

70 bucks will get you a really nice laptop bag/backpack...

 

May I suggest the following?

Belkin messenger bag for laptops. I recently purchased one of these, not the Energy line, for slightly over $40.

And a pair of speakers to share your movies/music with friends. If I had not purchased the messenger bag last week, I would have probably add the 4th year warranty/accidental damage protection also...

 

Hmm, the bag looks quite neat, however I did get a nice protective sleeve with my laptop and I plan to place that into a backpack. So it should be quite secure. I think I'll skip on the messenger bag. And as for the warranty I already have the best one I can get.

Please keep the ideas coming!!!

 

A nice cooler, or good games

Buy this sweet mouse fits in your laptop

 

lol he already has a mouse.

maybe nice headphones/earphones, security locks, a flash drive would be nice.

 

i'm going to buy a wireless router with my $70 GC

 

i bought one of those belkin bags along with my 1530. apparently it has been lost in transit with dhl. i already got my laptop. so i emailed them and they said they will send me a replacement. hopefully itll get here soon..
now i dont know if it was dells fault or dhls fault. but damn.. do packages really get lost in transit nowadays? never had that happen to me before.

 

packages do get lost in transit, though i haven't heard much bad stuff about DHL (usually bad stories about UPS/fedex)

 

do all customers who purchase dell xps m 1530 get dell gift card ???
or is clubbed with some offer ??

 

In many cases if you went with the 4 year warranty you received a $70.00 gift card. This option is $80.00 more than the 3 year warranty so you got the extra year for basically $10.00 (after the gift card).

 

@ amrndr
Just as hthighway said, I got it with my 4th year of warranty, which I felt was a good deal. Especially since it has accidental damage as well!

And I was also thinking of going with the WiFi router at this point. Which one do you guys recommend. I have a crappy old 802.11b router, I want to upgrade to n!

 

u wont get a reputable wireless-n router under $80 yet....

wireless-n is good if
a) u have a huge home
b) u transfer a lot of stuff wirelessly on LAN
c) u somehow have a 100mbps connection to the internet

 

I just bought a 500gb external drive for my 1530 and guess what?
They shipped it to Texas though I live in Nebraska. Then they shipped it to Ohio, and now it has been in Denver for a couple of days. I shipped it with Next Day Delivery, but I have waited for 11 days now... Dell should switch do UPS, I have always had excellent experiences with their performance.

 

Yea I know I won't get it for under 70, but $70 is a pretty darn good discount towards one! And yes my home is fairly large, my 802.11b WiFi currently only spans about 3/4 of my home with two access points!!! Secondly my home has two TiVos on WiFi, a couple of laptops, PS3, and plenty of other WiFi devices. So a fast 802.11n router is a must. Which is why I am trying to decide which to get. Any one have suggestions on a good model?

I went through a belkin and a linksys 802.11n router within the last 1.5 years and both bricked themselves within a couple of months.

 

I've heard so many good things about the D-Link 655 I felt obliged to log in and link you up. With that number of devices it doesn't seem above your requirements http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=530&sec=1
