    i think after christmas like now is goood.Not many people buy there laptop as a gift for newyears.As time goes on like in january prices will be lower than now though because people are getting LAST minute gifts i suppose.Its a gradual thing

    There will be a ton of deals in the next weeks as models and inventory are being cleared out. I would also keep an eye on the Dell Coupons link at the top of the page as Dell has some deals that are really good at this time as well.

    I'm in Canada and we don't see the coupons Dell has in the U.S., unfortunately.
    So, based on the respones it sounds like people are implying that there will be better sales after Jan 6..

    No one seems to be sure when will be the best time to buy a labtop.

    Current deal is pretty good...

    ($300 off, Free Memory and HDD Upgrades...)

    I am in market for a new labtop...too...

    And am also not sure when to buy one...

    before 01/05/05 or after?
