    Did anyone else notice that they raised the price of the e1505 again, this time by $50? This is getting on my nerves.

    It fluctuates. You have to catch it while it's low.

    Yep. Dell changes it based on their inventory as well as sales predictions. Dell is one of those brands that most people want, so increasing the price isn't going to affect their sales by much.

    It's the xmas season and beancounters are not dumb.

    In the next 30 days, price matters less as the decision to buy is driven by other factors.

    I <3 the 30% off coupon I used. It was def the after school season pre-xmas season coupon.
