    This has the 120GB drive too. This is the best deal since the system launched. Use e-value code:

    65023-bqpcjba

    Enjoy!!!

    Hmmm I think I may re-order and return this one. DVD Burner + 8400 for $75 more might be worth it... hmm decisions, decisions

    How is this deal compared to the one listed here for the e1505
    http://rage3d.com/deals/index.php#deal49326

    Looks to me like, for $79, wsxga+, slightly better processor, not too sure about vid card benchmarks and such but based simply on 256 dedicated for the ATI mobility radeon, compared to the 128 on the 8400M, isn't this a better deal?

    I'm stuck between saving $594 on this deal, or the deal you listed, or saving $325 on customizing something I want, or waiting and hoping for a better coupon deal next week...I need this laptop by first week of september, so I probably need to make up my mind and order now because of all these dell-ays I keep hearing about.

    Since a lot of us here don't have a Dell catalog, can you provide the other Vostros evalue codes for 14", 15", 17" configurations?

    The 15 and 17 inch e value codes are terrible and worse than what has been on www.dell.com. For example the 15 inch e-value code is $1099, barely above base specs, however it comes with a full version of Office 2007. Only the 14 inch e-value code was notable.
