A really great deal.

 

Is that normal or did you have a special type of deal? (coupons, etc)

edit: It looks like you were one of those who got the special XPS's for 1k....congrats

 

It's a great deal indeed.
Imagine, I bought my rig over a year ago with backpack, bluetooth headset, Vista Ultimate and 4 years warranty for €3800,-.
I feel like I've been robbed.

 

Of course that's a great deal, a few months that would have cost almost $3000

 

he must of gotta the deal were it was $1049 for the xps m1730 with the 9800m gt.

 

Yeah im sure. I hope there is a similar or even better deal when I buy mine in September. If dell still makes these beast's then.

 

Yes dell canceled my order so I had to call into the Order modification department and get it manually reinstated. When it was done manually the deal I ordered it under was no longer active so The customer service rep put together a custom deal to replace it. I think I made out better then the original deal because I was paying the same price without the 2 year compleate care warrenty and laptop book bag

 

yeeah pretty good deal
