    Does anyone know if it is easy to add RAM to the new M90? I want to buy one with 1GB and upgrade to 2 or 3GB to save a few bucks.

    all new notebooks are very easy to upgrade; even if you have to get under the keyboard, it still takes 5 mins or less to do it (i don't know if 1 of your slots is under the kb or not).

    thanks for the answer! one other question: the precision M90 can only be purchased through dell bussiness (therefore incurring taxes) - are there coupons for dell business? or only for dell home?

    coupons for dell's business line are rare. they do come around every so often, but nowhere near the frequency of the home coupons (which are pretty much perpetual). just keep checking here or those other "bargain hunter" sites like ben's or apex. if you keep half an eye open, you'll see one when it comes up.

    EDIT: sorry, i forgot the m90 is in dell's workstation lineup. i don't think i've ever seen a coupon for the Ms or the Precisions. i have seen deals for the latitude line which is what i was referring to above.

    You dont need coupons for the corporate side. I always get 30% off by just
    calling them and bargaining.

    By the way -30% is what their system enables for basic salesmen/women.
    So they are allowed to give that :)

    It is easy if you have done it to other laptops before.
