    hello all.
    i recently purchased the m1210 through costco.com
    i paid about 1365 including tax, but supposedly these 30% coupons that are out are working for the xps systems. i could save about 150 using these coupons, but costco has an awesome return policy for 6months (they guarantee the quality of their products). im not too sure if this will be the laptop i currently need. should i stick with the costco m1210 or cancel it and order it through dell?

    How badly do you need that $150 is the question you need to ask yourself. That is alot of money. But on the other hand Dell's return policy isn't that good.

    I would advise keeping the laptop and have the safety of the six month return policy.

    I thought that the coupons didn't work for XPS? When the 1210 first was released there were reports of them working but I thought that was an error.

    Wow, does Costco REALLY allow returns for 6 months?? Does this mean I could get an m1210 from Costco and just return it if I found one I liked better before the sumnmer ended? Wow ... jeez ... that's fantastic ...
