    Dell Outlet currently has 12 or more Studio 14z models in stock for $559 each. They are all configured identically, which most likely means they were retail (pre-configured) models that were sent back for some reason. Even if the reseller (Best Buy, for example) doesn't even open the box on them, Dell must sell them as "Certified Refurbished" since they officially sold them and then accepted them back as returns. They will look and function just as a brand new system will and iinclude the same full 1-year warranty!

    320GB 5400rpm Hard Drive

    If you have (or can find) one, there is a current Dell Outlet Home coupon for 15% off any laptop from the Outlet. That would bring the $559 price down to only $475.15! For reference, configuring a new Studio 14z with the same exact specs priced out at $884! So the $559 price is a savings of $325 already, the coupon would make it even sweeter!
