    It's harder to get those deals now because there aren't as much stacking stuff right now.

    Yeah, Dell caught onto that super fast and stopped the excessive stacking.

    You can still get good deals,

    www.delluniversity.com and then their are dell coupon codes up on the menu bar of this site.

    educational discount, dellcare (the middle one for 7% off)

    You really don't realize how much savings you get until it's added in the cart

    you realize the net price is still higher than it would be without the warranty, right?
    but IMO the warranty is SO worth it.

    EPP is only good if you had that EPP coupon and the 15% stacking.

    On a second note, if you don't do the Dell Care but still put 3 yr and accidental it will come out cheaper.

    Pretty cool :)

    I got a fully loaded 1420 with 3 year theft protection for 1400. I know it's a lot but I love knowing I will have a laptop for the next 3 years regardless. I recommend it!

    I bought mine (below) on 7/7 - with the following deals in effect

    A] A $350 coupon (from this forum) (expired 7/12)
    B] A $150 coupon for buying from a kiosk (expired 7/9)
    C] A Free upgrade to 160GB 7200 RPM Drive and 2GB Ram (Still going on?)
    D] Had it shipped to some people I know in a tax free state (*montana) who will then ship it to me, to avoid tax.
