    i am looking to buy a dell laptop specificall the e1505 or 6400. i want it to come with XP

    i failed to pull the trigger last week, when the dell coupons included XP laptops. this week they didn't

    should i wait till next week, when they may possible have a deal on the XP laptops

    or should i wait till new dells come out (santa rosas 1520), and they may possible have a clearance on the e1505

    Buy a new machine when you need it; hold off if you don't.

    For me it's always wait as long as possible...

    The prices always go down. I start law school in the Fall and wanted a nice portable. I didn't want to carry around my work issued D820 or Inspiron 6000.

    I ended up lucking out and getting in on the AAFES M1210 deal for $579 base then configured it real nice for $963. I knew I didn't need santa rosa so...
