    Ok so here's the deal

    Just bought a 9300

    my roomate brings up how I bought a 9300 for 1650 with

    PM 2.13 Ghz
    1 Gig Ram
    X300 128 Version
    5400 100 Gig HD
    Non True Life Screen


    And then he brings up how the E1705 has:

    2.0 Ghz Duo Processor for about sam price as P M 2.13
    513 MB RAm (will pull out and put OCZ 2 Gb RAM)
    7800 !!!!!!! Vid card
    True Life
    3945 Wireless Card and basically rest of my specs!

    So here is my questions:

    1. Does the coupons work on the E1705

    2. Whats the return Policy

    3. Is it worth it to return my Computer if I am just gonna buy 2 Gigs of ram and, 6800 Go anyways

    4. Is the Duo THAT good?

    1) Depends on the coupon.
    2) 21 days I think.
    3) If gaming is important the 9400 will be much better.
    4) Depends on the user really.

    If you have had your 9300 for less than 21 days, might as well go ahead and return if -

    The price is not that much more
    If you are a gamer (The x300 to the 7800GTX is a major difference)

    I agree with Brian on the 4th question as well.

    Is it Definate that Dell is going to charge a 15% Restocking Fee and also other charges for scratches? Or is case by case if it is soon enough you will get a full refund? I really want to return my 9300 now and get the E1705 it's soooooooo beautiful!

    I think it takes a month to get a refund back. As for the 15% restock fee, you have to prove that something is wrong with the notebook in order to avoid it (according to dell's website).
