    I need a 1420 for college and I got this price over the phone. When I did it online it actually cost more:


    The final total after tax and stuff is $1,492.78, but she said on the phone that on hers it says 1442 or something.

    By looking at other peoples deals on here, I feel like I'm paying way more.

    The discounts I got were the following:
    And I also had free 3-5 day shipping. Comments? How can I get a better deal?

    I feel like this is a little too much for the 1420.

    Bump.

    Anybody? :(

    With the price should I pay a bit more and get a better laptop? I'm mostly going to be doing internet browsing, word processing, AIM, maybe a little gaming and such. I would seriously appreciate any input.

    Did you get it without a warranty?

    Oh alright, thats cool. What coupons did you use? I couldn't find any additional Dell coupons on any of the coupon sites.
