Duo E1505 w/o 2 year warranty

I'm having some trouble configuring my e1505. Going through the dell home and small office site it seems that the only way to get the Duo Core is to also get the 2 year warranty. I know dell warranty is useless so does anyone know a way around this in order to save some cash?

 

try this: go to the dell e-value page
http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/evalue?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

then enter the according evalue code, try these for the e1505:
6vaff-e1505s1, 6vaff-e1505s2, 6vaff-e1505s3, 6vaff- e1505s4
(they all are for different configs and different warranties... I got my e1705 with only 1yr warranty that way)

after you configured it, you can also use 30% off or $750 off coupons and stuff alike. hope this helps.

 

thanks, I'll give it a try....what's this I hear about $750 off?

 

Visit the dell coupons page. It's $750 off $1999+ But the 30% is off $999+.

why is dell's warranty useless?

that's a weird statement to make.

 

Just what I was thinking....
