    One question. There is a $400ish off thing going on with most Dell products, and the M1350 starts off at $999.
    I'm planning on decking it out to almost 2k.

    Are there any coupons I can add ontop of this tax rebate deal thing?


    The deal ends tomorrow. I am buying as a student, but I don't think I have access to a university email account. Can I still get a student discount?

    You can't stack the coupons, but there's a 25% off coupon that would work out to $500 off if you specced your M1330 to $2000.

    So the student discount is junk compared to the coupon?

    When I tried using one, it wouldn't stack. So I used what got me the best discount. Try configuring one online and see what kind of discounts you can get.

    For the majority of the time, you can definitely do better than the student discount. However, they seem to be better if you are going for a longer warranty. I would suggest configuring a system in both stores with applicable discounts and see which comes out better.

    when i called dell they told me they diidnt offer any student discounts. the guy might have been bull****ing me but from what i know the deal comes from the schools.
    for the rebates if you live in the us check the "dell coupons" button on top.
    good luck with your new laptop

    They have different deals for different schools. Most schools have an EPP code to give you other special discounts.
