my specs for the XPS 1530, i think i did pretty well :)

Hi, i just wanted to let you guys know what ive just managed to haggle out of a dell rep, i think its a pretty good deal myself to be fair, but just wanted your opinion.

I told him i had a budget of £800 being a student & all, and stayin within it, anyway i gave him my specs the processor - 2.0ghz, harddrive - 160gb <but i managed to get the 250gb chucked in >, the graphics card - 8600GT, screen - WXGA+, and erm... bluetooth + i said i wanted the 1Gb of ram but when he removed the 2Gb the price went down to only £800 so for £10 more i was like it makes no sense not to upgrade.

ANNNYYYWWWAAAYYY lemme know what you guys think, thanks. By the way im in the UK so if anyone has any Dell UK coupons then i would appreciate it greatly.

TOTAL = £810.00

 

I got the T7500 plus 7200rpm 160GB drive thrown in for £849 (Before their 19th decemeber sale ended) but you did get a nice deal for sure.

Out of curiousity when is your shipping date?

 

teen18 best of lucik with your laptop.btw use this code 9DGRQPZDFXQGBP. Yes it CAN be used with XPS systems.You will get 10% off your total cost.that makes it even a better deal.let us know how it goes.


BTW this code expires on the 2nd,so if possible make sure you place your order before that.

 

Ask if you can use the coupon on your order if not cancel it and reorder using it, you'll save 10% which may work out cheaper.

 

Sounds like fair deal, I got the spec in my sig for £736 but I only opted for the WXGA screen.
