    I can't get to the page that the coupon links to from dell.com

    Does that mean the laptop I just ordered may not be available?

    It's the inspiron 1520:

    Go to Dell, build the machine and just manually enter the key.

    I asked if the laptop I have already ordered is available... I didn't actually ask for help regarding the coupon, just the computer that the coupon link directed me to.

    It no longer comes with Vista. It comes with XP.

    What are you talking about? You can't order it with Vista anymore. If you ordered it previously, then it will be created just fine.

    I ordered it yesterday. Would you please check out the Dell Coupons and click the 1520 link and see for yourself? It's really strange.

    The link takes you to Dell's website, to the 1520 builder. You couldn't have ordered it yesterday with Vista. Dell hasn't offered Vista with the machine for a while.

    Riiiiight... but I did. I didn't come on this forum and spew nonsense... I literally ordered the computer that I had previously mentioned. And I did it yesterday.

    What are the odds I don't receive this computer?

    Apparently the link takes you to a hidden part of Dell's website. They're not out of Vista, so there's a good chance you will still get it.
