Best Deal on a Dell XPS M1530?

I just wanted to know what is the best deal for a DELL xps m1530 right now. I think warranty is a must for me. I bought an xps m1530 on friday with this configuration i found on slick deals.

http://configure.us.dell.com/dell...HMPA&s=eep

I ended up paying $1,410 + tax because of EEP, and dell member credit card (4% discount). But the setup i configured was 1770.

Did anyone config anything similar for less than $1770 before any discount? Is this the best price i can get? I cant use the 25 percent discount on EPP deals. My discount was 21 percent in total

Just want to know, if i overpaid

my configs were

a 2.5 gig processor
4 gb ram
320gb hard drive free sensor 7200 rpm
integrated sound blaster hd speakers
4yr warranty including accidental damage
adobe photo shop and premiere elements
1440x900 LED screen
256 video card
wireless N card
6 cell battery
Mcafee 15 months
windows vista premium sp1

Any help would be appreciated

 

bump anyone?

 

did you seriously bump a thread 30 minutes after you posted it? dude, seriously.

that makes me not want to help you at all.


for a BEST DEAL people usually go to outlet.dell.com. But I don't think you overpaid for what you got considering the specs and price.

 

Sorry, Thanks. I am just a little worried that i could have overpaid

the link above comes with T8300 and 250GB for $1268..... an extra $200 for a better processor, hard drive with free fall sensor and photoshop.... its OKAY, but if u didnt want those and would rather pay less, the $1268 woudl be a better deal...

 

i paid 1660 after taxes and shipping for mine which included

t8300 2.4 ghz processor
8600m gt 256 mb
320gb hard drive
x-fi xtreme audio card
bluetooth
led lcd screen (1440x900)
4 gb ram
adobe photo shop and premiere elements
vista home premium
dell all in on 948 printer with usb cable and free black ink cartridge
4 year warrenty
4 year accidental damage
70 dollar dell giftcard

bro you basically got what i got. i used epp too.

dont worry its one of the best deals you're gonna find. get it and i guarentee you wnt be disappointed!!!!!

 

Was gkizzle3622 referring to the deal that paper_wastage posted with the link? I was going to get that laptop, it has everything I want. You guys think I won't find a better deal any time soon?

 

not sure, becuase my deal has 250GB HDD(~$50 upgrade to 320, more for free-fall sensor), no audio card(~$100?), no photoshop(?), no printer($~40-100), so $300 for those upgrades isn't that bad, but if u want to save money...

montevina's coming... you can of course buy now and return without any restocking fees...besides, a 6-cell battery now would delay u by 6-10 days, the last time i checked dell epp
