    just curious. also i was told by dell they have pulled the 1730's from the web site due to people buying them using scripts. i guess they said they have a work around for that coming up soon so they will be able to put a stop to that. im not sure how they didnt say but they said they are aware of it and will be stopping it..

    Those scripts grab any desired laptop with certain features. It is not limited to the 1730. There aren't as many 1730s on the Outlet as there of the other models. The scripts add them to people's shopping carts and then they pick through them. You just have to keep hitting refresh to find them. Dell would have to pull ALL laptops off the outlet to make the scripts useless.
