think it's good till 4-2-08


*** The 1400 and 1500 were working when you got to $1249 so try that amount first***

I just tried on the 1500 and 1400 it worked under $1299. So maybe somewhere between $1249 and $1299 on those two.

TOTAL:$782.00

Would sell the extra battery for 50 ish. so a little more than 700 for that is pretty good.

 

i thknk its dead for 1700 cuz i just tried to configure myself one and it did not take off the discount. even though in the config process it said Cart Discount: Build this system above $1249 and receive $500 off!

edit: nevermind it works must have been a glitch and it IS $1299

 

thats amazing im never buying a laptop again until an amazing deal like that comes around!

 

I bought a V1500 with that $500 off yesterday morning! Total came out to be $799.07! with Shipping and Taxes some of the specs are 2.0ghz proc 8600m GT with 2gigs of ram, 120gb hard drive and XP Pro

it is 1249 with the Vostro 1500

 

GAh! ive been waiting for this! AMAZING! thanks for pointing this out xD

 

any idea how much the vostros weigh?

 

Oh yea, how are the screens on these Laptops?

I been hearing about crappy Dell screens that aren't LG or something like that somewhere...Is that relevant to this laptop?

 

1400 - 5.39 lbs or 2.45 kg

1500 - 6.33 lbs or 2.87 kg

1700 - 7.62 lbs or 3.45 kg

And I guess they can change a little from how you configure it. It also says that is the weight with Windows XP Pro. Guess maybe Vista or XP basic etc. might be a little lighter or heavier.

I've read about the screens and guess it's a crap shoot. Maybe they have pulled the bad screens but I hear they will work with you to get a good screen.

 

Does anyone know if this RAM is compatible with the Dell Vostro 1500?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231135

 

cant see why not, as far as i know every laptop uses the same type of memory, that being 200-pin memory (with the exception of the old old machines).

 

it is compatible

 

When does this deal expire. I saved a card two days back and I got an email today that my card with expire on 27th march 5:59 CT?

Is it that the deal is going to expire on 27th or is it Dell's policy for carts?

 

deal expires the 27th

 

I am probably doing something wrong, but I can't seem to get the $500 off to appear in the cart. I configured the Vestro 1500 as follows:

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9300 (2.5GHz/800Mhz FSB/6MB cache)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic
No Pre-installed Productivity Software
15.4 in Wide Screen XGA+LCD Display w/TrueLife™
2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz, 2 DIMM
8X CD/DVD+RW Read and Burn CD and DVD
256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8600M GT
160GB 5400RPM Hard Drive
Dell Wireless 1505 Wireless-N Internal-card
Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Internal (2.0 + Enhanced Data Rate), Vista
Integrated 2.0 mega pixel Web Camera


Am I missing something?

Thanks

 

does the price exceed $1299? if not, that would be why.

 

With battery prices as they are now, you'd make quite a profit.

 

haven't tried your exact configuration but I just configured a 1500 to $1251 and it took the $500 off. So for the 1400 and 1500 it seems to be $1249+

Who knows with these configuration websites. For a while on the 1500 the upgrade to a T8100 was $650 and the T9300 was ~ $500. on the 1400 and 1700 it was $200. Then with the 17' laptop they had an option for a 15.4 inch screen.

 

yah its actually 1249+. been thinking about buying one myself now, thing is I could buy a refurb one for almost another 200$ less.

That what I was thinking my setup should be...I'm planning to upgrade to 2GB from NewEgg. I got a question about Wireless cards though, I dunno if I should get Dell Draft N or Intel 3945. I don't wanna spend 80 for the 4965. I'm not sure about the quality either, is Dell wireless cards better or Intel wireless cards better?
