is this a good deal on a 1420?

i just called my friend asking him what he thinks of this deal, and he said "eh, its ok", while i still thought it was awesome, im wondering what you guys think of it, here it is:


Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7300 (2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB/4MB cache)
Genuine Windows® Vista Home Premium Edition
High Resolution, glossy widescreen 14.1 inch display (1440x900)
128MB NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 8400M GS
2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz
160GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
CD / DVD writer (DVD+/-RW Drive)

Built-in Bluetooth capability (2.0 EDR)

i used the 350$ coupon and had to load it up a lil bit to get it, but the final price before taxes is: $1062.00

what do u guys think?

 

pretty good deal

 

I think that is a good price. I ordered the 1420 and it was about the same amount.
What is your ship date?

 

i havent ordered it yet, but im hoping to tonight, i'll post it if i do order

 

Cool, Keep us posted.

 

I just ordered a 1420 with the same configuration. Mine was $1067 (pre-tax) with 6-cell and 9-cell batteries.

 

What sort of warranties are these systems including?

 

I just got the standard warranty, and started with the cheapest base price and finally added the coupon. In fact I had already ordered a 1420 on 7/3, but today they started offering the "free" 2G RAM and 160G HD (It was no trouble to cancel the orignal order by calling Dell.)

When I put together another order this morning it would have come out to about $50 more than my original order. This afternoon everything was about $100 less and I had to upgrade to the 7200 rpm drive *and* get an extra 9-cell battery to meet the $1399 minimum! For me, this will be a real dream machine - at least for the price. Webcam, Bluetooth, Intel Wifi card, extra battery for those long plane rides... wow!

But, my ship date is 8/9

 

do you guys think if i called i could get additional discounts?

 

Honestly, I didn't have good luck calling the Dell reps when ordering. I spent 30 minutes on the phone and got nowhere, so I decided to order my second 1420 through the web interface. My rep did offer me a $100 discount, but then she said that couldn't be combined with the $350 coupon. YMMV. I've read reports of people getting other discounts, but it seems like everyone's situation is different (especially students.)

 

yah, i just read this post , and so u can get 75$, but, im trying to get two laptops, one for me and my brother so ima try using that, and we're both students so yah, we'll see what happens
