    Anyone else notice this:

    If you go to "Dell's University" site and click on the picture of the inspiron 6000 it gives you a price of 744 to start at the lowest, yet if you use the blue "notebooks" button on the upper left and select inspiron 6000 from that list it gives you the SAME computer for 690?! Similar is true for all the laptops I checked!! why is it cheaper if you go directly to your laptop using the blue button? heh

    Dell is always playing games with their prices, not that they are the only one.

    I got my 9400 about 2 weeks ago and since then it has gone up in price about £180 whether or not that is to put people off cos of the lack of 7800go gpu's i dont know. I did the configure thing the same and it came up over £1440 i paid £1283 with a bag included.
