    T7300 + 8600M + 17" WUXGA for under $1300.
    Seems like a great deal to me.

    I'm beginning to wonder if I really got a good deal or not...

    Inspiron 1520
    Intel Core2Duo T7500 2.2GHz, 800Mhz 4M L2 Cache
    Ruby Red
    2GB DDR2 667MHz 2 Dimm
    15.4" Wide WSXGA+ (1680x1050)
    256MB NVidia GeForce 8600M GT
    160Gb 7200RPM SATA HD
    Intel 3945 WLAN (802.11a/g)
    Integrated 2.0MPixel Webcam
    Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Mod
    85WHr 9-cell Primary L-ion battery
    3 year At Home Next Day service
    3 year Complete Coverage Accidental warranty

    $1723 shipped. That's after EPP discounts, $292 promotional price off, and free shipping. None of the current coupons seem to work on this system though.

    Anyone beat that price with those specs?

    Should probably be working instead of evaluating random laptop purchases, but the 1520 looks like a good deal too. The 160GB 7200RPM HD, T7500, 2GB RAM & 3 years w/ accident coverage are expensive upgrades.

    I went base line on memory and hard drive because i can upgrade that better from newegg. I used the Military EPP about 20 min after the 1720's went up for sale and finally got the confirmation yesterday.


    First time I have been happy about getting a dell!
