if u want to save money get 1gb ram and then go buy 4gb from newegg, theres also a coupon in dell home that works on 1330 and 1530 when u configure them to $1499 and higher and get 25% off - its 0$?X8RJ0$G3XLB lasts until end of july (one more day)

 

Hmm...is anyone else having trouble with the 25% off coupon...I configured a system using EPP (through my university) and now its not letting me apply the coupon...

If you read carefully I said dell home. Just go to the regular dell.com, rollover home and hit laptops. Configure, add to cart, apply coupon.

I don't like EPP I think its a rip, the waranty boosts the price and verizon card is useless.

 

Hi xnightxwingx,

Thanks for the advice. I tried what you said and I find that if I build the same configuration as the one I posted above through dell home and then apply the coupon, it gives me a price at around $1660...

Are there more coupons that I am missing?

Thanks

are you kidding me? are u on the 1330 or 1530? you apply the coupon in the cart, and if u already selected one that has a discount, the 25% will cancel it out and only the 25% will be applied. did u enter and apply the coupon?

heres what i did, i configured a 1330 starting at 899 to

Hey there,

I think the difference was that I added the 3 year ltd warranty and the 3 yr oops that comes with EPP purchase. I think if you just try to buy that straight up through dell home, it tags on about another 300 bucks.

alright then, I dunno why people get the warranty i prefer no warranty if possible but i wouldn't mind free warranty

 

so is there a free warranty with EPP?

the Dell EPP deal above is $1268 for 4 yr warranty... warranty is included with certain configs, even in Dell Home, but with warranty, its usually cheaper in Dell EPP
