Thanks!

 

looks good, pull the trigger man

 

There's little for us to approve/dissaprove. I mean if the machine is affordable to you then there's little for us to say about it.

 

no warranty? dellcare plus?
is it not worth it haha?

 

1 year warranty - mail-in. (Will extend it later)

 

Oh crap, u can extend warranty!??! I should of upgraded on the wireless n card and then lower warranty.

 

That is the exact same computer as I'm about to pull the trigger on, the only exception being I might get an extra 9 cell battery. I think it looks good, but then again, I'm in the exact same position.

 

i always buy 2 yr @home at the least. Seems like a good idea to sell on ebay with 6months still left on warranty they always go for more too

 

For me, EPP through my company made that same laptop with 3 year completecare warranty about $100 more (a worthwhile investment in my mind), as opposed to like $240 more for the home customer. I don't know if you can use www.dell.com/epp/thankyou, I saw it as a link on an ebay page for the 15% epp coupon.

 

Can my wireless card be changed in the future?

 

Yes you can. You should call them.

Thanks man. One question: Does the 9 cell stick out and/or make it heavier?

I don't need a warranty like that because I can fix stuff myself and I only call them if something really bad happens, I needed them when my soundcard died, for example.

 

Have you tried checking a Dell kiosk? They might have extra coupons.

 

Yup, looks pretty easy too.

Yes, the 9 cell does stick out, and therefore obviously makes it a little heavier. However, considering it is only an extra $80 I think to add an extra 9 cell in addition to the 6 cell already in there (compared to $50 to substitute the 6 cell for a 9 cell), it seems worth it to me. A second battery isn't exactly a bad investment anyway.

 

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Love Dell Now!

 

Im gettin the exact same computer soon, but with a better warranty

 

Trigger pulled thanks everyone
