    So after returning my vostro 1710 I'm now looking for a different notebook. I just noticed that there's a pretty good 3-day deal in Canada on the 1530 and I was wondering what you guys think about it. Specs in pic:

    It looks like a good price for a 250gig 7200rpm hdd, LED screen, t9300, 8600m gt etc. for $1499CDN

    yep looks good to me much cheaper then in Australia we pay nearly 25% more for the same thing and i mean look at the US dollar We australians really get ripped off when it comes to technology.

    EDIT: you don't need the sound blaster software its just a wast of money unless its free otherwise its practically bloatware the stock sound software work great on my machine

    Okay, I thought so too, usually it's about $200 more in Canada as well but this really seems like a good sale.

    I'm looking for something just like that. I'm from Canada as well. Where'd you get that deal from. Dell.ca?

    Thanks. I saw the banner ad earlier, but I assumed it was only for the m1730 as it was before. Probably getting one very similar to the specs you showed.
