    Im half tempted to order the laptop down to my parents place in arizona and driving from calgary to go get it lol...


    Anyone know if they come out for canada once in a while? or is it just not worth it to hold my breath?

    With gas prices today, you'd probably be better off buying a full priced dell.

    :p i know, its really just an inside joke to bug off the girlfriend lol, but really, the 25% off coupon the states get when canada gets the shaft is really annoying...


    Has anyone tried talking to a dell dealership and seeing if they can get the coupon for canada? theres a dell dealership in calgary i'm really thinking of going and talking to the reps there to see if i can get some kind of a deal.

    You can always see if they'll match the price.

    i'm in the same boat bud! I'm looking to purchase a Dell soon, just waiting for these elusive Dell Canada Coupons!

    It just seems there are so many variables to balance out when buying a laptop these days...whether it's waiting for Centrino 2, a Dell Canada Coupon, or just not knowing what's out there, I could be waiting for a lifetime until the time is right!

    It's the same for us in the UK, no vouchers and we usually pay more for our electronics than most other places too hehe.
