    There are currently only about 100 laptops there. I've been shopping for a computer for about a month, and it seems at one time there were 10-20 times that amount.

    There have been a lot of large coupons lately, 15%, 20%, 25%
    I'm guessing more will start to show back up once the coupons die down again...

    The Outlet inventory is always "fluctuating" as inventory is sold, and it replenishes stock (when more systems are available).

    And yes, as you see the coupons come availi' the inventory will become harder to get. So, if you see something you really want grab it w/in that time availi' you can keep in your cart :) Outlet for me is like a never ending restocking cycle...lol. :eek:

    NP :D I hope you are able to find something! :cool:

    And, those e-mail coupons come about once every 3-4 weeks!

    Probably the biggest reason for the decline is the fact that the coupon is 20% versus the normal 15% that is sent out each month. There have been some incredible deals if you spend time hawking down a machine. I actually purchased one yesterday for 580, after tax. It was a Studio 1558 with a Core i5, 4GB RAM, Backlit, 500 GB hard drive, Intel WiFi, 1080p screen, bluetooth, 9 cell and discrete graphics. So if you just spend a little time, you can end up with a great machine.
