    Some people of mentioned checking two particular sites daily for Dell coupons. Can you please tell me which ones are best to check. I have done a google search and followed some of those, but their might be specific ones that are better.

    Second question: If I am not so much into gaming but want a laptop with 1080 screen and mostly streaming video from
    computer to tv, what is minimum I should consider. (Want wifi to use with Netgear Push2tv.

    slickdeals.net was my go to site for deal codes. The hot topics thread have tons of deals so I would usually just do a search for xps. They are pretty good about getting stuff out before or right after the codes are available.

    they have a section where people will post their codes they get with their marketing crap too, like 15% codes etc. But those are usually snagged up pretty quick because of one use, and they might not stack with the usual promotional coupons.

    retailmenot.com is also a good site for generally anything, but they do have a dell section too. They are pretty quick too, but not as fast as slickdeals.

    for the push2tv you want one of the intel cards, 1000, 1030, 6000, 6230. and um 6300. The 30 on the end denotes it has bluetooth as well.

    XPS 15 with proper coupons or outlet is best bang for your buck imo. Before I bought I was also looking at the Thinkpad 520 or 540, can't remember the model now. You can configure one with FHD and a similar videocard (a nvidia business class gpu). Prices was a few hundred more than the XPS 15. Just make sure you don't select the IBM wireless. I think there was no charge to go to the intel 1000.

    HP Dv6t is also a popular model for a FHD screen. People say it runs hotter, but it does have a much better video card option. they go with AMD instead of Nvidia though, not sure how their version of optimus is working out now. I know it works differently though.

    Thank you so much for your replies and information. I did not know that about the Intel and the blue tooth code.

    What does "stacking" mean? I was on a coupon site and they had three different codes listed for different things. I wasn't clear about if you could use all of them or just one. Are you able to get codes from different sites showing discount codes and apply more than one?

    stacking is just using more than one discount (different codes) on the same laptop. some let you do it, some won't.
