    Ok, I just found out I could have saved about $100 on my E1505. I have the 40% coupon which I used today and got a very good deal on it for a total of $1157. However, I could have gotten it yesterday and saved $100 with the free 1 GB memory upgrade.

    The reason I didn't get it yesterday was because I was waiting for my money to transfer from my savings account to my checking account. After completing the order today, I realized I could have paid paypal and paid later. Uggh!!

    100 buck savings isnt too huge, 1157 is a nice price. Though, like drumfu said, you might be able to get the difference.

    I called Dell and asked if I could get the same price as a couple hours ago, and they said that there was absolutely nothing they can do because since I am using the 40% coupon, they're actually taking a hit on the sale, so not even a manager could manually change it. So I just went with this for $1157, which still isn't a bad deal.
