    Yeah the coupons work in the when purchasing through Dell Home, but when I "maxed" the specs with 3 year warranty and 3 year lojack I got $1700.

    anyone know of any way to get this deal in canada or is it time for a rebellion from the canadians ?

    really had my sight set on an xps but for my budget i will have to go with the studio 15, if the coupon could be used in canada i would be able to get exactly what i want...

    Would love to hear from other people from outside the states who are just amazed that these deals aren't worldwide or atleast dell accessable wide...

    This seems to be worth it only if you don't get the extended warranties.

    But thanks for the coupon codes dropsy :)

    If we can only find a stackable coupon

    While on the subject...

    I ordered my m1530 in May with the 8600M GT. How can I check if it has GDDR2 or GDDR3?
