DEAD DEAL-DELL XPS 1730 SLI 9800m gt for 1100$ SUPER SALE

i would but i really wanted the 999$ version since i have more parts than i know what to do with i have plenty to upgrade it with.. but hawk is a good guy for those looking

 

thanks for that, yeah my boss decided to let me snag up a M6400 so I am going to go that route, I am starting to play games again the and M4400 graphics wont keep up for what I need.

 

If it comes with 8700M GT's instead, will dell pay the shipping to return it to them?

 

And it will go right back with a love letter written straight from my heart!

 

yeah if you check the page now for the m1730 you will see that the 999 one has 8700's in it.. imo it was a mistake on dell's part we may even see some cancelations by dell

 

thats stupid on dells part. how they gonna confuse 9800m gt sli for a 8700m sli.

i have seen them do this alot of times though so it maybe something that they can make money off of somehow.

 

i hope they won't cancel my order since i ordered 28hours ago. I think the deal was intended by dell. One of you guys here confirmed that they shipped out the order for that deal, so the deal is true. I think the link is dead 'cuz they're out of stock for that liquidation

 

if i receive 8700 SLI instead of 9800GT SLI, HEADS WILL ROLL.

 

no they still have them for sale but the 9800gt sli is 2000$ now.. check the m1730 in the notebook section ill get a link hang on

edit the 9800sli is 1800$
edit again they all come with 64 bit vista now also

edit again lol theystill offer it with 8800gtx sli also for 350$ upgrade and 9800gtsli as 450$ upgrade.. wow

http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1730?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs see the last 2 models

 

i agree with you pbcustom. if they make mistake for that. i ask them not only full refund but at least they should give special discount something for next purchase

 

they have a ton of options now for the system, including up to 8gb of ram. as i said vista 64bit is standard now, and they have a ton of gpu choices..

if you guys get the 9800gt sli congrats you are very lucky

 

the config i have should have been a lot more then what i am paying for it..if i get 8700 sli, the computer is just not worth the $$$ imo

 

they always had that, just for the non-deal m1730

 

what the guy i know said is the dell rep said if you looked that page said "1730test" and it was not supposed to be listed as it was. again i cant be sure this is speculation right now its just what my freind was told when he called about his order not showing up on his account.

i still would have taken the chance and order one ...

 

when the 9800m first came out, they offer gtx just $100 more from gt. now it's gone. I don't know if we call and asked for the gtx for the phone order.

 

Well, my acknowledgment & confirmation emails have the specs of the order, and both say dual 9800m GT. As well as my order page on Dell.com.


Plus I've already changed my sig lol

 

well right now, i have a order number, and a dell purchase ID.

everything is showing up under my account and it is "in production".

they called the day after to confirm my address.

i hope i get the 9800GT SLI..the invoice they sent me shows the following:


1 320-8036 1GB Nvidia Dual GeForce 9800M GT $0.00

seems so far one or more people had a second confirmation of the switched gpu's.. if you get it man you all got sooooooo lucky, im kicking myself now for sure.. lol wish all of you the best luck though for sure

 

ohh this sucks

 

Zfactor, should i call them and remind them of 9800m gt component so that they're not mistaken surprising between price and component

 

they do reserve the right to change with out notice i read it on the site

 

not sure you can try but they can always play the price mistake card dell has been many times know to do that.. at which point they will simply cancel the order. i hope the best for everyone.

 

if you refuse the order, and it returns to dell, the have the right to keep the laptop and not refund you your money.

in order to return a laptop, you MUST have an RMA.

i read this in one of the m1730 posts.

 

Well I already talked to their CS about returning this without opening and they said they would allow it and will not charge me restocking fee.

 

but is that with an RMA number after you accept the delivery without opening the package, or just by refusing the delivery?

 

2 choices, return for full refund or risk of paying restocking fee. i think i'll take risk to check if 9800m

 

Too bad they aren't selling the WoW M1730 anymore. That with these specs for a little bit more would be an even better deal. Even if you don't like WoW, the WoW edition looked so much better.

 

call them up and they will give me a shipping label to send it back to them.

 

from what i read on slickdeals.net, if the confirmation order email still stated "9800m" , i think the assembly techician will read and install component according to the order confirmation. I hope my order confirmation email won't be changed

 

Can speak from experience (multiple times, as recent as last week, this is not the case). Myself and my Business Customers order allot of Dell systems and we routinely check the website for a Service Tag number after a system ships so we can confirm the config (ex. presence of an LG panel for certain systems,etc). We started doing this after a rash of errors on their part, interesting there is now a 48 hour delay on getting an invoice/service tag after shipping).

You can refuse, the system will go back to the shipper and sometimes sits in their depot for 3-4 days before returned to Dell (my rep told me this is done as some people refuse then change their mind). It then goes back to Dell.

If you can check prior to delivery you can always accept and not open, Dell will pay for return shipping.

Wish everyone well, I ordered one of the dual 8700 based M1730's when they lowered the price to $999 a couple of weeks ago. Incredibly nice system, amazing 1920 LG panel, quiet and cool. If you can get by the size and weight (the AC adapter is almost the same dimensions as my HP 2140. His system also came with Dell M1730 backpack (made by Swiss Gear)

 

i actually wish it would come back id order one to see what i get..

 

That's kind of dumb. You order something, they switch it out without letting you know. Then you open it, find out you got the part and you have to pay for their error? If they're not going to ship with the parts listed on the order, they should just cancel it for you. There should be no risk on your part since you knew fully well what you were buying.

 

the offer is expired i think...

 

lol we established that 3 pages ago

 

Since it's being shipped from TN I should get mine tomorrow. We'll see.

 

keep everyone posted!!

 

OK, I found both my invoice and service tag online for the new system. The invoice states: "1GB Nvidia Dual GeForce 9800M GT". Under the service tag code it says: "F979M CRD,GRPHC,NVIDIA,G92,9800M-GT2".

Now I'm glad I never got to cancel the order.

 

turn around n sellllll it lol .... i am prolly gonna sell mine depending on the new laptop ..... it has to be binary gfx and smartbay if not im keeping mine

 

God bless me ! I hope mine could be 9800 Will see tomorrow!

 

GOSH it's already dead. Sorry for all of you who couldn't order one. I ordered mine at around 6p.m. after the Game 7 of LAL vs HOU and I could get it through. I hope there will be a confirmation email today.

 

I have an "Order Has Been Acknowledged" email, but that email says "What's Next? You will receive an Order Confirmed email shortly with your customer number, order number(s), estimated ship date and final purchase amount."
Still waiting on that email... still no recent orders showing up in my account. I'm a bit worried.

 

PATIENCE! I am not gonna be worried until Tmr. That's Sunday yesterday, who would be efficient to go through the orders when they can take a break?

 

Mine already shipped, though I don't want it now... lol

 

Why not, just curious? That's my eighth lappy so I can really sell some of them out later..

 

Just got a better deal on a M6400. This one was 1600 after the upgrades and complete care warranty added on.

 

I ordered May 14, 2009 at 9:31 PM I got the confirmation email about 12 hours after I ordered. It's still listed as in production. I also have not received a second confirmation.

 

Another sick deal kind of thing? Well 1600, could you get at least Q9000 and FX3700M in it? If so I'd say it's a huge deal, and of course with the 17" RGB in it.

 

With the "mistake" corrected we'll now be able to sell through eBay.

 

To be honest and very serious, you can't make much money with this configuration on eBay.

 

Have you tried?
