    Wow... it just makes me feel ****ty that i paid full price for a computer im already regretting i bought.

    -7300 2 ghz processor
    -1 gb ram
    -120 gb hdd
    -8400 gs
    -LED backlit VGA cam
    -bluetooth, no fp reader.
    -1 yr standard warranty

    All for 1772 US after tax and shipping. I bought it from Dell Mexico so it was 19,500 pesos. :mad:

    And i cant even cancel now cause they already charged my credit card even though my system isnt even out of "in production". That's f'ed up.

    I wish they had discounts for universities outside of the US too =(

    Edit: I just check the website again and the LED w/cam is 2300 pesos (roughly 200 us), and it got it for 880 pesos (80 us) :D guess that wasnt so bad after all, i think i was one of the first to ask for it in mexico.

    Well my final price is nowhere near as low as some other deals here. But I wanted a fully loaded machine with accessories. For a total price of $2076 I got what's in my sig (except I only ordered 1GB RAM) plus:

    Bluetooth
    Fingerprint Reader
    6-cell
    3-year warranty
    Sound Blaster Audigy software
    Dell Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse
    Dell Slim Auto/Air/AC Adapter
    Belkin 2-Outlet Travel Surge Protector
    and a Timbuk2 Messenger Bag

    It ended up $720 (or a little over 28% ;) off normal price, plus a free bag and free overnight shipping. :)

    Ok so i just got around 450 dollars off my xps m1330. Just cheap trying and make up prices that you said they offered before. My price was 1968.00 or something and i got my system for 1550 after a ton of phone calls. Just keep phoning different reps some are more desperate to sell than others.
