any possibility of XPS m1330 prices to get low

is there any chance that XPS M1330 prices will come down in next few months bec i am person who dont have much to spend but still wants the best thing, i have a budget of 1600$
i have been looking and searching for laptops for last 4months, first my eyes got stucked on xpsm1210 but 12.1 inch is small, but 13.3 inch is ideal, i cant wait anymore what should i do
buy some hp or other laptop? or wait until i get the xpsm1330 at a cost of 1600$ (not to mention i need good configurations too bec i wont be able to buy any laptop for next 3 years as this is my first time buying)
is it worth waiting for 1 or 2months waiting for prices to come down and buy the sexiest beast or should i buy it with low configuration bec i dont wana cry in years to come as i would be using it for all type purpose, gaming and for the nex 3years... i would appreicate your comments..

 

champagne taste, beer budget.

 

load up the inspiron 1420, the xps only has 2 things better (screen/size). the xps 1330 is way too expensive imo. wait 2 years and they'll have similar designs on the inspirons too...

 

well just got an asnwer by looking the XPS trends XPS prices hardly get 100$ less in period of 6months, i guess its time for me to toss the coin either to get XPS m1330 or fat 1420...

 

For $1600 you can still get an M1330. If you are wanting the fastest processor and max memory, it's gonna go way over that.

 

You can get a decent m1330 for $1600 just don't expect the best cpu. I'd get it with a 5450 if i were you and upgrade the cpu later when i have more money.

As for dell lowering the price on the m1330, what would you do if you had the hottest notebook on the planet right now?

$30 for 1gb stick of ram you get the notebook.

I know its a little over but you can drop the bluetooth and fingerprint reader if you dont need them and save $45.

Now go hustle up the money for the tax and if you somehow run into a coupon code even better.
The 5450 will be sufficient for now and when you feel like dropping $200 or so, you can pick up a T7300.

 

This is my order. It came out to a little over $1508 total after taxes after I got them to drop the $39 shipping charge. So you should be able to get one

What's the $400 off for? Is this a Drake university order or something? We should look at standard pricing thats currently available.

My suggestion would be to get a low end processor on the M1330 and upgrade later. RAM too.

 

I just love how you phrased " Sexiest Beast " , Cuz that how i feel when i saw this notbook. IT's design completely taken my mind and consideration for other notbook - asus , sony. Although i feel it's overprice and you can probably get better spec with other brand like asus. BUT down the road ... with a HOT design like this i'll just want to make me bring it everywhere with me.
The price i paid for my m1330 is $3130 but i got discount so i only paid 1600 for my configeration at the very end.

White green notebook sleeve

i mean with 3000 dollar with tax to this config, i can easily find other system with better config with the same price. BUT the design is so good to resist haha so i brought it.

 

I agree, look at the standard pricing or explain exactly how he can get the notebook @ that price. I had problems on the EPP site and went back to Dell Home even thought it cost a little more.

 

so i say if u'r low on budget don't get m1330 unless u'r willing to get low end config model. which i refuse too haha cuz it's a waste if you have a lower config . afterall i want to keep this for a long time

 

How did you get your config. for that amount? Did you use coupons ontop of the EPP discount? Help us out

 

Yea remember the mystery coupon last week? I got a 50% off coupon, technically thats only for inpiron however i call the dell rep , nagg him for a long long time . Finally he honored.

But 15% definetly work before just that 50% doesn't so i ahve to call .

iam happy but now i have to wait a long wait aug 27 expect ship date ><

 

weren't the mystery coupons just for people who live in Canada?

 

You could have saved some money by upgrading Vista HP to Ultimate later through Windows Anytime Upgrade, and you could have found 2gb of ram for cheaper then Dell sells it.

 

yea i live in canada so i qualify .

Jayayess
As for the rep give me a discount on vista ultimate , i only upgrade for 90$ cdn and ram iam simply too lazy to go find aftermarket. I know i pay about 40 more XD o well

 

who was your rep because I was told that the 15% coupon was not valid for the 1330 let alone getting 50% off
