    Wow, it comes tommorrow. I was wondering if u guys could give me an idea of whether or not it was a good deal, specs are as follows:

    e1505/6400

    T2500 (2.0ghz)
    1Gb ram, 2dimm
    120Gb 5400rpm
    x1400 ati 128 dedicated/128 hm
    SB HD audio - i already know this is software got it thrown in for free :)
    xp PRO with cd
    WXGA with truelife
    3 year Next business day warranty - plus an extra year from visa credit card :p

    i got all this for $1400 canadian with taxes, is this a good deal (ps we dont get any coupons best we get is 100 off which i used also bargained on the phone for an aditional 50 off to end at 1400 taxes in)

    my friend received his 6400 about 1 week ago.

    T2400 (1.83 ghz)
    1GB RAM, 2 DIMMS
    80GB 7200RPM HD
    ati x1400 128mb/128hm
    no SB software
    XP home
    WSXGA w/truelife
    2 Year warranty

    $1300CAD + tax.


    so if your price is in CAD you got a very good deal.

    The 6400 is the business version here in the states. It's interesting how Dell Canada renames to confuse people.

    Vince_00 the only reason that i can think of that yours would be a tad bit more expensive than mine would be the 3 years complete care while mine is only next business day and also the quicksnap although thats only $30 :p

    plus did u order off the website, the best is to call in and bargain with them

    Yea I ordered it over the phone...but the only thing I could bargain for was actually that quicksnap....which at the time was selling for $50 for some reason.

    I remember seeing it offered with the online config for only 30...but that week they took the sale off...

    But yea the complete care should come in handy for me cause I plan to give the laptop a pretty good use at home and abroad.
