    Only way to find out is to try. I wonder if there are any for the Vostro line...

    The price includes CompleteCare and NBD support. That's why it's $99 more than the stock price.

    I was unable to get them to apply the 15% mystery coupon along with the EPP discount. Ended up going with the 15% coupon alone as the max EPP discount is only 12%.

    There are totally different programs from Dell in the US. For the most part, Ive seen dell USA come out with alot of discounts on systems whereas here, they have different programs such as the Coupon daze.

    The advantage is that, at least it used to be that systems were always cheaper built Stateside.

    I still remember when i got my first 700m from the States new at 899.

    I've tried stacking using the $100 off on the featured Ispiron 1420 (on top of the $279 discount) and it worked for me.

    Nothing seems to stack with EPP on the 1330.
    Anyone else notice that the fingerprint reader is gone too?

    Ive tried that, and it didnt work for me.
    what was the code you were trying? ...also when you use a coupon, does it have to be toward the EXACT specs of the notebook, or can i change the specs and still get $100 off?

    Yes. The $100 off coupon only applies to the link below, but you can't change the specs of the processor -- you can modify the rest. That's about it. It's supposed to expire the end of this week.

    k. thought i would check and make sure.
    that is kindof stupid. why cant they give me the $100 off anyways, seeing that im willing to spend at least $500 more than that system is spec'd at anyways.

    It looks like you've saved but you haven't.

    On that page, the price of M1330 has been raised by 100 dollars (if you notice carefully) therefore the "$100 savings" doesn't really exist. If you go to dell's website and do a regular "build your own" m1330 order your cost comes to 2267.46 (after tax) and if you compare it to the discounted built the cost comes to 2080 (after tax).

    I've tested this by building 2 XPS M1330 with exactly the same specs to compare. Not only are you not saving, they're also getting 10-20 bucks more so I wouldn't use it.

    So do any coupons every stack with EPP?
    If not, I should just put in my order since I was hoping for a coupon that would.
    Any way to get free shipping?

    The current $100 off coupon is supposed to expire today. Is Dell going to put out new coupons or flyer, or should I wait later to make a purchase?

    most likely no... you can check with the reps to make sure but from what I've seen aroudn these forums they prolly won't let you stack discount + EPP

    Quick question on Dell EPP.
    I have an EPP with the company, but this is my last week here.
    Can I use the EPP when I'm gone, or will they check my employment status?

    Well checking out the Dell.ca website and noticing that they're offering way better components/prices on all the Ispiron models, but only til August 2nd. Too bad there's no specials on the XPS models. I'm really thinking about buying a 1420 this weekend. Yay!
