    Inspiron 1720
    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7250 (2MB cache/2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB), English, Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition, English

    Has the best screen 1900x1200. And the 8600 GT Graphics card. Wireless N. And comes with Microsoft office. Also has a webcam. 160 GB memory.

    Price(before tax) = 1688 Canadian.


    Now i priced it out on the USA Site<with a good coupon> and it was the same computer (but a 2.2GHz) for 1530. Which sucks as the CAD dollar is worth more but ALL the good deals for every notebook brand are in the USA.

    What do you guys think?

    It's worth it just for the 160GB of memory alone. :D


    If it has a full version of MS Office (Not WORKS), thats about $400+ right there.

    I'd go for it

    When I ordered my 1520 it was $1359 CND b4 tax(Ended up paying $1103.00 plus tax). So I would say no way. Wait or call for a price adjustment.

    Maybe ask for when they will have better prices for what you want and ask to be transferred to someone that would know.
