Good Price For Basic e1505?

Hello,

I'm thinking about getting the most basic e1505 I can find (ala this), for running Linux on and I was wondering what the lowest price you folks know I could get this for. I don't know much about the coupons but when I tried one from the Dell Coupons link for the e1505 it did not work. I'm trying to get this laptop as cheap as possible as its only for play really. Any tips from the coupon masters would be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

You should be able to configure one with coupon for $800 or less.

 

I picked up my e1505 for $759.00

1.83 Duo
1gb Ram
120gb HD
ATI x1400
WSXGA True whatever
XP Media Center

I think that's the gist of it.

 

Yeah right.

 

you picked it up from somebody...wasn't it free?

 

I have no reason to lie to you people.

that's a good price....
you maybe should have gotten the 9-cell...
but still a good price...
It's so much cheaper in the states...
i got mine for 1500 for the same computer... 9-cell battery, quick snap cover, and the 3 year complete care warantee.... and that's one of the best prices in canada

 

I have seen it go as low as $725 with coupons

 

Of course not. Have any more details? Site purchased, original configuration, upgrades (costs), coupons used?

 

i had my e1505 at 810 with pretty much the same config. then the dell changed the percent on the coupon in the middle of the day from 35 to %27 so it endedup like 920-1000

 

i can get the same E1505 for $770. That's with the student discount. How did you get it for a lower price than I can? Thats a terrific price.

 

how do u get student discount from dell?

 

never mind...the student discount actually cost more. 20% coupon cannot be applied. Its only a $100 saving and no free shipping.
