    Just about to hit the purchase button on the Studio 15 with these specs, just needed to check to make sure I'm not over paying. And I'm Canada :)

    Studio 15
    i7 720q
    4GB DDR3 (1066mhz)
    500gb HDD 7200rpm
    ATI 5470 1GB
    Full 1080p HD screen w/webcam
    Back Lit Keyboard
    9 Cell Battery
    Soundblaster X-Fi HD Audio
    Bluetooth Added
    8x DVDRW (I believe it's slot type)
    And a 3year complete care warranty

    All for $1556 including taxes, discounts and other fees. Does that look like too expensive.

    Oh and I'm getting the 6 months, interest free payment plan.

    I thought the price was high until I read the part about the payment plan. Nobody pays list price from Dell. :p A rep will ususally work with you and get you some discount.

    Did you get this price off the web by configuring a usit on-line or have you spoken to a rep? If you've spoken to a rep and this is the best deal you can get, I think the deferred payment may make it ok. I know my company pays a fairly high credit rate to Dell for any balance it carries on its account. Not only that, but you're in Canada. Prices never make sense up there.

    Bronsky :cool:

    Hey Bronsky, this is the price from a rep but the same online, I tried speaking to many different reps, unfortunately it looks like for us Canadians, they don't give any bit, and the most I was told was $50.

    Although, this price was discounted to 12% EPP price, company I work for has an EPP plan with Dell, so the actual price on the site before taxes - 12% + taxes, that's about $200.

    Since your initial thought was the price was high, how much high do you think it is.
