m1330 price increase!

base is now $1400
LED option is $200

looks like dell is trying to get less new orders in so they can catch up!

 

nice move dell

 

or...they are using the idea to make more $$ assuming the # of orders will remain constant thus increasing profit.

 

this also reduces the number of cancellations and alleviates the frustration of those still waiting for their 1330s to arrive. I mean, essentially anyone who has already ordered 1330 is getting a $100-150 meaning they'll have to pay that much more if they try ordering it again

 

It's a hot notebook right now, and it's going to get hotter. It was smart and ****ty on their part to increase the price.

 

Looks like the prices are the same in Euro's, for the time being at least.

 

This model has been recalled

 

whaaaaaaaaaa

 

What has been recalled?

 

Clearly HCW's capacity for explanation has been recalled

 

Woah! As of this post, at Dell Canada, the LED display without webcam option is a free upgrade! They're also listing 6+9 cell batteries as a combo as well!

 

Found a link to the page with cheaper M1330s: http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1330?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

 

There is an engineering hold on this model due to poor build quality and other issues.

 

source please?

 

Dell engineer in Texas

 

nooooooo!

 

I have been waiting 2 weeks for a replacment they are now telling me that it will be at least 2 more weeks cause they want to get some more 1330's in there office to check them out and fix the problems that many of us on this site have been reporting .

 

Well that sounds like good news. About the only thing I'm prepared to wait for is them getting their act together and making the M1330's as perfect as they should be.

 

Haha, right. That's why the corporate manager I've been working with has said nothing and that's why my replacement ordered on the 16th has already shipped.

 

I would worry about that since many of us who are awaiting replacements have tentative ship dates around mid September.

 

When did it ship ?

 

I would be happy to wait a little longer for my replacement if they get all the issues sorted out.

 

Yesterday.

 

I got my laptop this past wednesday! Should I return it and get a perfect replacement?

 

I don't see a price increase. Both Home and Small Business list the base model at $1299....

 

They changed back the prices.

 

damn, and here I was, savoring $150 in savings

 

NOOOOOO. they have the 6 and 9 cell battery option now. now i have to buy a 9 cell seperately. cuz before is was jsut 4, 6, 9, 4+9, or 9+9. NOOOOOOO

 

if the delayed laptops have better quality, i am going to return mine. How many days do I have to get a full refund?

 

21 days but Flame will tell you 30

 

The price hasn't increased. I JUST checked the website, the base is still $1,299

 

I'm curious about the hardware call-back.... is it true?

 

it did increase a couple hours ago, but now they changed the price back.

 

As far as I know, no. Getting confirmation from Dell.

 

Its not true....Chuck I prob would have heard about this yesterday after all I passed to you...

Delays yes...call back no.

 

oh, and RAM is now just an AMAZING bargain at $125 and $500! (probably b/c they realized their mistake of making both sticks easily accessible in the back)
And maybe the $200 LED screen is just to make all us june-early july customers shut up about wanting their free Timbuk 2s (which I was told today are OOS)
