    does any one know why dell randomly raised the price of the good e1505 with the intel chipset? do you think it will go back down anytime soon?

    wait until the 25% coupon? I honestly don't know- I do know that they change the prices very frequently, pretty much daily.. just check back in a couple days a week) and I'm sure there'll be a change.

    Prices change with both availability from the vendors and how much extra Dell has in stock of given parts. I've seen the prices change every few hours.

    FYI, Dell will price match a computer (identical specs) from the time of order all the way to the end of the 21-day return period.

    Buying a dell is like ordering the lobster- it's always 'market price'.

    Seriously? I didn't know Dell did price matching. If that is the case then I will have them price match the machine I saw at Walmart.

    Contrary to what others are saying, I think Dell has increased prices temporarily for the holiday season. It isn't market price, especially when mid to low-end computers are dropping prices for the holiday season. Dell's stock (DELL) has been doing well the past weeks, and my guess is that they are feeling confident about their market share for 2006.
