    Dell always seems to have the "you just can't miss this one" sale going on in their home and home office section, and I believe that their "$750 off" coupon is available pretty much every month. But this is for the average Joe home user who will be influenced most by these "amazing" sales.

    The Dell small business section, on the other hand, seems (at least to me) to have less frequent sales. Is this true?

    The reason I ask is that I've decided to get the D620, and there's a wonderful little $400 off coupon off of Latitude models available until 5/24/06...

    Does this size of coupon come around very frequently, or is it truly a "can't miss" sale?

    If it's reasonably frequent, I feel it would be best to wait until June to buy and hope that the hardware gets a little bit better by then, as I won't really need the laptop until August. Otherwise, I'll buy today or tomorrow...

    Thanks

    They have had the $400 off coupon before so l would expect it to be around again.

    It's not can't miss, but DSB coupons are far less frequently available than their Home counterparts. The way I look at it is if you're ready to buy, and they have a compelling deal, go for it. If you're not ready, they'll have another deal soon enough.
