Post your notebook SPECS and the price you paid... CANADIAN orders only.. =)

Hey All,
I just wanted to compare the prices that we each paid.. cuz im looking around in the forums and I think I got a bit ripped off... especially with those that ordered from the STATES... So if you bought your laptop off Dell.CA, post your specs and price.

Inspiron 1420
T7300 (2.0Ghz, 4MB cache)
2GB RAM
14.1 WXGA+ (High Resolution, Glossy)
128MB Nvidia GEFORCE 8400GS
160GB Hard Drive
Dell Wireless 1490 802.11a/g Mini Card
Integrated 2.0 Megapixel Webcam
56 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery plus an additional 6-cell battery
3 Year Next Busines Day Onsite/In Home Service and Technical Support

Total with TAX included: 1705.31$ CAD

OK.. thanks for the help! =)
Do you think I got ripped off?

 

huh? that much? I know you can have a WSXGA+, 15'4'' and 8600M GT for same price in Canada

 

But do you think its possible to get the same 1420 for cheaper in canada? .. and we pay like 14% tax too.

 

I suggest you cancel your order, because I think it's pretty expensive. My 1720 with Wireless N, 85wHr Battery, and 1920 x 1200 monitor, 8600M GT, and MS OFFICE (free) was 2K. You don't need the 3 year warranty, because either you find something wrong with the laptop during the first month or the laptop will stay perfect for 5-7 years.

 

Val...you need to read the two articles i have posted below. The how to should have been first...but read it but concentrate on getting Money Back Now.

 

Thanks flamenko... but will it be too late for me? Cuz my order wasn't delayed... i purchased it Sept 13... and it shipped on the 20th.. i will be receiving it sometime next week! noooooooooo i got ripped off!

 

Don't open it, you should't have any restocking fees if it is not open.

YUp, warranty is pretty much useless (except (*accidental one, still, Asus offers free 1yrs accidental warranty!). I highly doubt 24hour home service covers broken screen/motherboard for exemple

(Quality) computer parts are either Dead-On-Arrival or will probably last a long time motherboard now comes with an automatic reset if there is a bios-proble

You could probably look at something like an Asus F8SV/F8SA. They should be arround 1400-1600.

Asus warranty is this-
1. 30 days no bright dot
2. 2 years global warranty, 48hours turn arround with both way overnight shipping. Valid in every Asus-equipped Country!
3. 1 year accidental damage warranty (US, Can)

Also comes with transport bag & mouse

 

Are you actually trying to compare an Asus with the system she ordered? Are you actually trying to compare warranties? You obviously have never owned a Dell...but I bet you got an Asus.

Val23...

If it shipped and you return it without opening it, THEY WILL charge u 15% restocking fees and mailing.

Your downfall is that it was shipped. When it is received, check it over very carefully for any problems. if there is one (ie squeal) then you can exercise the Total satisfacton Guarantee and have it returned for a 100% refund.

Ive done this and its simple and they even send a mailing label and or courier to pick it up.

 

Oh.. GREAT.. THAnks so much flamenko..!! I'll INSPECT hard for any faults... =)

 

I still think a 3-year warranty is pretty much useless. I've used two desktops and two laptops already. And I've used them for years and nothing happened. Like I said either the problem happens when you get it, or it'll be fine for 6 to 7 years.

 

i actually had an inspiron 8500.. and it died a few days after the 1 year limited warranty... now its just a big paper weight.

 

I disagree totally above and believe, if you can get it discounted, the 3 years completecare warranty is the absolute best piece of comfort you can have.

 

If you get it discounted... but $300 doesn't really worth it...

 

for my configuration, I paid $1981.32 including tax.

Add to my config. 3 year complete care and $20 off for the messenger bag.

 

You've obviously never had an accident with your laptop. Not everyone is so lucky.

IMO, Complete Care is essential for a laptop.....especially if you plan on traveling with it. All it takes is one accidental drop/spill and your out of warranty laptop is a paper weight.

I also plan on investing in a $0 deductible through my home insurance in the event it's ever lost or stolen. The extra $5 a month is a small price to pay.

 

Specs in my sig, price was approximately 1600 including tax.

Wish they didn't take a month to get here.

 

specs are in sig...price was $1391.27
