    OK I was bored.... Same laptop costs $2291.77 at compudirectpc.com and the warranty is not as good as what is on Dell's website.

    Do you have some kind of coupon that knocks $600 off?

    I know people complain about Dell's customer service but compudirectpc.com only has 4 ratings in the past 6 months at resellerratings.com with a score of 3.75 out of 10. Even if it was $600 cheaper I'd still buy it through Dell myself. I never heard of compudirectpc.com
