    Starting today at 8:00AM CDT, Dell will be having a $750 off $1499 coupon. Get there early. The last time they did this, it lasted about 45 minutes. Apply coupon code P6LP$WFJQ6R1SF during checkout. I would spend the extra $59 for the larger battery to get to about five hours. It does add a little weight and sticks out a little in the back. Upgrading to at least the combo drive seems like a good idea just got make sure to get it ober $1499 to be able to use the coupon. Good Luck.

    saw a 1 gig stick on crucial for $220 after tax. The 1 gig ( 2 sticks ) from Dell was worth it after I saw the instructions on how to replace the sodimms, you basically have to disassemble the unit -more than i'd like to. If it was easier to pop off a plate on the bottom, then i'd do the crucial. Don't really need 2 gig ( or room for 2 gig ) at this point ... time savings to just order it up front -

    Well I guess i could due the $1899 deal on the 700m and use the $750 coupon off,which then i could have a pretty nice notebook with nice upgrades. But I might just wait.

    An experienced forum user just post this coupon $750 off $1899 (1DSDZQPDRZH$L7)

    To give her the credit, i got it from this link...

    http://www.notebookreview.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15616

    Since I recommended 700M, I hope you can get an excellent deal and be happy with it... GO and max your config to 1899, and get 750 off... that should be a fine lappy....

    But while you are at it... would you consider doing I9300... 750 off I9300... that is also a GREAT machine... Just check your option... i love my 700m... but I bet I will LOVE my I9300 too!!! (wish me luck!!)

    I9300 - 1.86 1G 60G 7200rpm 17" WUXGA 256M 6800Go - Waiting
    700m - 1.6 512M 40G - Current
