Finally joined the XPS 1530 club! Does this look alright?

After much debate and angst after missing the 25% coupon, I went ahead and ordered today. I think I might have gotten a better deal actually...

Total was $1,428 after tax. Is that a decent deal?

Thanks!

 

if i'm not mistaken the 25% coupon isnt over... they extended it, goto the dell coupons tab and scroll down to the XPS section... still there, says it isnt expired

 

looks like a decent deal if you needed to buy right now, who knows what can happen in the next few months though...

My thought is that the back to school rush will prompt dell to have some sweet deals...

 

Congrat's, and...nice And welcome to the *1530 club* No membership fees due! They are always *waived*

You will be really happy once you receive it, and start the *declaration* of ownership!

thanks for the comments guys. I actually did need it right away because I'll be leaving from Seattle to go to Durham NC soon for college.

It seemed like the 25% didn't give me as good a deal. Even though it was $30 cheaper, I did not have a 3 year warranty like I do now. Gooo Dell!

 

Let us all know when you receive it, and how it is working for you!

Congrats, again!
