    I ordered a Latitude last night with the $400 off. It was a big internal debate about waiting to see what this week brings. I'm glad I put the order in. :/

    If you want to spec out lattitude it was better with 400 off 1599 yesterday, but if you want to choose basic spec it's better now with 350 off 1399.

    I spec'd it out - it was almost a $2k price-tag originally. :D
    We have a "tax-free weekend" in August in my state and I was debating waiting for that - but I wouldn't have saved as much. I figured $400 was a good deal.

    Now I'm still trying to figure out if I made the right choice in waiting for the T2300E instead of the T2300. :eek:

    Crap man Dell is being a pain this week man, I new I should have order it two weeks ago with the free 100 gb hd but nooo, The new video card is suppose to be so much better, so i cancelled my order and decided to wait for a beter deal. Now theres nothing beter, nothing extra free and the new card isnt that much beter or cooler. So i guess i screwed myseld :( Hopefully intel processor price drops will make dell lower there price a little more, but I doubt it ;(

    Yeah, and the upgrades are costing a lot more now. The damn 7900 went from 272 to 349! The HD upgrades are ridiculous and the ram is always the same. ERR, I was looking at a Z96J also and it went up in price on powernotebooks. Some of the upgrades cost more too, I can't get a decent notebook under 1700 now. This is ****ty...I have to pay 2k, might as well get a damn xps

    You should see the UK prices £458.25 extra for a 7900GS on the E1075, the other option is an x1400, for the same price that they sold the 7800GS for, I have been waiting for weeks for the 7900GS option to come out here and when it does, its hopelessly expensive and they take off the 7800GS option, it works out cheaper to buy an XPS laptop for better specs.

    Prices arent so bad with their coupon, but if read the small print it says that the offer is only valid untill they either sell 4k units or the date of expiration, imagine if they stop offering this discount? Does anyone think this is possible? imagine paying 2000k+ for a system u could have had for $1300 :)

    Will Dell drop the price on the 7900GS? I can't believe that it went up so fast, must be a hot item around Dell after they provided the upgrade.

    Well I'm just bummed that the laptop I want is now $250 more expensive than it was 2 days ago. I wasn't expecting prices to jump... I'm just gonna have to wait around for some new deals.
