Cheapest place to purchase xps 16/13

Ok so i live in UK, and been checking prices for mainly studio xps16 - ebay/dell outlet/ dell etc.

I cant believe how much money could be saved if i were to get it from the states!

Where is best value to get one from UK ? it seems as though most money can be saved by getting a refurb, lots on ebay and from a lot of reputable sellers.

where did you get yours from? dell ? ebay ? which seller? etc.

Has anyone purchased from abroad whether it via ebay ? if so which seller? I dont really want to take this route for obvious reasons (customs/vat/problems with seller etc)

however i did purchase my last laptop from ebay US, fortunatly i didnt get hit with any charges, but come to think of it even if i did i would of probably still save a few quid compared to prices over here.

 

Don't know where you could find it cheaper. Is it really the one you want? I know at Bestbuy.com you can get it for $899.00 USD.
Read reviews first before you buy it. Check at NotebookReview.com
and my site: LaptopMemo.com

 

yes i have been reading reviews on here and elsewhere?

seems like a nice laptop, from your comments you dont think it is?

 

well aymank, the xps 16 is a great laptop, there are some great comments about it, but remember what makes a great computer is the hardware, and not the pretty outside, you could buy a basic-configuration one, and upgrade as needed, its cheaper that way IMO...

i would first ask, what do you plan to use it for ?

 

mainly il be doing alot of raring and extracting big files 2 - 4gb.. converting high definition video, (mkv to avi etc) watching high def

however i might do some gaming - if i know it can handle it i might try some.

ripping audio.

thats probably the majority of it

 

I just wanted to know if that was the laptop YOU needed.

 

buy from the dell outlet.. you'll save 50%

 

there very expensive compared to what dell .com are selling let alone outlet, and even cheaper on ebayUS

 

Doing some pirating are you?

 

i got mine for $807 off ebay. refurb and still under warranty

davypg, thanks for that mate... managed to get a spec i like for just under 1200 - not great but still a whole lot better than what ive seen

 

you are lucky guys...

that's a lot cheaper compared to SXPS here in japan...

i want to replace my XPS with SXPS but i cant

its very expensive, a whooping 199,000 yen! (around 2,000USD)

for the base price

 

Get a 15% off coupon and goto the Dell Outlet. Just sign up for e-mail coupons or scour the web for some. You'll save more there than you can anywhere else.

 

Eh, you're not missing much with the specs you have unless you plan to max the thing out. My M1530 feels just as fast as the SXPS. On the flip side it is nice to have new things
