    Hey, I was wondering if you can get a price adjustment within the 21 day return period as I do not wish to return my current M1530 as it's perfect with a awesome LG screen and occur a 15% re-stocking fee. The reason I'm asking because today if I spec up the same machine it'd save me $300 dollars and give me 50GB more harddrive space.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you live in the USA, Dell has a price match policy.

    Yes, in the USA they do...but you need to call them while the deal is not dead otherwise they won't care.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I just looked at my invoice date and it's out by 2 days. I'm still going to give customer service a call since there's nothing to lose now.

    The site says
    Aren't what we are getting now a part of the specials?

    If they won't do a price match, you can always try to get them to waive the 15% fee and when they ask why you're returning it just say "I want to buy something better!"

    They'll think you're getting a more costly laptop (even though you're not, and you didn't lie because you ARE getting something better) and probably waive it.
