    My apologies if this is the wrong place to post. Since you have all been buying XPS systems I was curious where the best coupons or deals are located. I am interested in an I7 XPS 16.

    So far the best deal I have found is: Save $224 on this Studio XPS Laptop!

    I guess that is pretty good but I keep thinking there might be better next month for xmas or that I am missing something.

    I would sure appreciate any tips or recommendations.

    Thanks

    I'm assuming he's referring to the SXPS 1640 as opposed to the SXPS 1645 which you provided the price quote for.
