    It is no longer even an option for the Inspirons. You can still get them for the Vostro's.

    it is still an option on the d630. i hope that is just a mistake or they have enough to fill the current orders. i am going to be disappointed if my d630 dosnt ship next week, of course im not holding my breath that it will.

    Anyone want mine? I'd be willing to part with it for a reasonable price? *steeples fingers and makes an evil laugh*

    Well if they run out of T7300's I'm willing to accept a T7500 instead.

    so, since it isnt being offered for the m1330, is there any chance i can get upgraded for free or something? on an offnote, the LED display for the m1330 is now $250, which is $100 more than at the time when i purchased the m1330.

    Isn't this the last day of the current deals? On Dell chat, I couldn't get any dates or anything, just "Get a T7500." I think the T7300s will pop up again tomorrow.

    This is good news in Taiwan. The T7500 is now the standard option on the M1330 with no difference in price :)

    Kind regards

    did anyone else notice that the prices are the same for the university site and the home site? I thought if you bought through the university it would be cheaper but apparently not anymore

    In Latin American web page, the 7300 is still abailable, I guess the LA web managers are slow so show changes in stock

    For the XPS series, the pricing and promotions are the same for the EPP (faculty, student, employee purchase, etc) and Home sectors.

    However, once you add your system to the cart, if you are using EPP, you will see an automatic discount in your cart that gives you up to 12% off your subtotal (12% assumes 3 year warranty and $1600 subtotal).

    If you are buying a loaded system and want the warranty anyways, you have nothing to lose. I recommend a 3 year warranty on a laptop anyways, unless you're paying $600, in which case you may as well take your chances rather than paying an additional 33% of the system cost (for the warranty).

    It is still available on DELL India at the same price as was offered so far.... But I guess not many people in India offer the T7300 or T7500 due to its high price....

    It's not just Dell. I was on the HP site, messing around with the customizations and the T7300 wasn't an option.
