    Is it possible to use those "350 off 1299" coupons by adding warranties to increase the price above 1299, then return the warranties for full refund?

    I really dont see that many desirable upgrades for the 1420, might as well make it cheaper.

    They will likely make you return the whole laptop to get your money back...thus forcing you to reorder and foiling your plan.

    Returning a warranty is one of the hardest things to do. No CSR wants that on their record, that they lost an item with 50% margin on it.

    Dell is already being very nice to give you $350. Don't be stupid about it.
