    I just got a 15% coupon but studio xps is always out of stock. Is anyone familiar with the system with which Dell adds new machines to the stock?

    It seems like I can never beat hardcore F5 refreshers or bots.

    Just keep checking back. Sometimes you have to stalk the outlet to find the item you are looking for. At one point a friend of mine was looking at a outlet 1340 and it was bare for 2 days before a giant batch showed up.

    Right about when I was going to whine again, dell sent in a batch of 20.

    W/ 15% coupon got a 2.4GHZ with 500GB and bluetooth (yay) for 800 shipped

    I live in AK and Dell use to force us to do a $70 next day shipping. But this time the next day shipping is free! Woot.

    Time to sell this m1530 I am typing on.

    Keep checking, dealers are sucking them up fast. They will select them all and put them all in their cart, then check the specs, and buy the ones they want. The ones they don't buy are then gone for a few hours until they return to the website... You just have to be quick and diligent. Remember, the Laptops can stay in your cart all day as long as you show activity in the outlet every 15 minutes.

    The outlet is updated every 40 minutes past the hour (ie 12: 40)
