    To get your perfect M1330/M1530 at an unbelievable price, all you have to do is buy 5 notebooks. As it constitutes a bulk purchase, you get a significant discount that no coupon or deal can match. Remember to make the purchase over phone and not online. Once you get your notebooks, you can check for defects and if necessary swap from other notebooks. Return the rest and enjoy your perfect notebook.

    That is pretty shady...

    Don't you think they would question your reason to return 4 laptops?

    Not everbody has $5000 + tax to front the initial charge, but interesting idea. Are you sure you're allowed to return 4/5 of the laptops? Are there some rules regarding bulk orders? I'd be surprised if this would work.

    Good grief, people, its one thiing to expect Dell to abide quality components and provide service, but to work this hard to beat their pricing system is dishonest.

    I think we all realize that this is pretty shady, and possibly even downright illegal.

    End thread.
