    its a good deal for sure, but i don't think its really mind blowing. you should upgrade the screen. 1440x900 is great!

    btw... since the configuration already saves you $150 off the bat, you cant use coupons.

    That's the same price that has been for a while, and it will continue to be that price long in to the future. Not saying its a bad price, because for that configuration from any other manufacturer it would probably more. However for a dell coupon, it is fairly average.

    And if you are trying to find a Dell Canada coupon, I would suggest you give that up and instead go and find Bigfoot, you would have far better odds of being successful.

    yea i think, but the only difference is the CPU, before they had T5550, and now they have T5750 for the same price, and u can upgrade to T7500 for only $21 :eek: , seems like they just want to get rid of t7500 CPUs

    Ah true I think some upgrade prices have gone down again. Must be due to a full switch to the penryn processors. I remember that same config cost about $1700 when the m1530 was just released. Times change quick
