    I've read a few posts from people who said they bought a XPS M140 (or 630) well speced out on Dell Outlet for around $700 -- but everytime I check the outlet site, I never find anything near that price range. The discounts always seem to be fairly small, if discounted from the regular prices at all!

    Does anyone have any suggestions for snagging a great deal on this notebook from the Dell Outlet?!??!

    Thanks!!

    I think some users before always used a coupon for a certain percentage off. You'll probably need to google for them though since I don't think Abaxter gets notifications on outlet coupons.

    You can get a M140 for $850 new with as good, if not better specs! How is that deal from the outlet a , well, "deal"?

    Are the coupons needed to get screaming deals on the outlet site, or do you just have to be persistant and early???
