New 25% coupon on XPS 1330/1530

Use code 0$?X8RJ0$G3XLB on xps 1330/1530 laptops priced $1499 or higherDell site says it expires Wednesday July 23, 2008.

 

nice. another one. anyone looking for a m1330 or m1530, i would suggest u wait until the refresh, since its bound to be really close with the new platform just around the corner. dont worry about given up this coupon, they come around all the time.

 

someone stop me !!!!!!!!!!

 

only thing thats probably gonna change is the cpu, so its not a factor for most people except those extreme gamers that want to squeeze out every drop of performance. the bigger bang will be when they update the graphics card.

btw, if there really is gonan be an outlet, and it turns out its not the much better, but the m1530 from the outlet for mad cheap!

 

dam this expires just before i wanted to try(if i have enough money) to get my laptop.
but there will probably be a refresh soon anyway

 

wow so very tempting i might give in..

 

Dear Link747,

Got the following message from the Dell website upon Check-out:

"We're sorry, the coupon code you have entered is not valid in the segment in which you are currently shopping."

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

i think you can only apply it in "home & home office" sector

 

Yes, has to be the dell home/office section, can't be at the EPP site, although many people have been able to have an EPP sales person apply the coupon manually by calling and talking to them on the phone.

 

Yep, +1 on "Home and Home Office" area. Thanks Link - nice, nice work!

 

guessing this doesnt work in canada? cause i tried it and it says "Coupon Error".

 

Cool! would you happen to know if the coupon takes an additional 25% off the discount price, or is it only 25% off the original unit price? Because Dell already has a $543 discount for the m1530.

 

There's a Canadian coupon in this thread:

unfortuantely, 25% of original. Therefore, I would advise you to customize from the $999, as it gives you the most options

 

i've been waitin for 25% off (for xps m1530)since june mid......should i go with this deal or wait?i can wait till end of july but not sure if i'll get a better deal????/

 

Dear link747

It is not a coupon, it is a discount for being a student or if your employer has a discount with dell, aka they buy a lot of dell comuters. I get a 12% discount from my employer epp plan if I buy a 3 year warranty with a dell.

This is similar to that you get 12% discount by extending your protection plan to 3 Yr warranty.

But there's another extra 10% off:

I exactly want to know how to get this extra 10% off(someone said it was a epp coupon?)

 

EPP sometimes has extra coupons, you need to be signed up for the Dell coupons email with your EPP account.

 

I've waited since June 13. It's a good thing this appeared. Considering if you bought the same configuration using Dell's bluray link, you save around $170..

Here's my configuration. Just ordered it this morning. I have question for you guys, why is it not showing the free earbuds? I confirmed it from the sales agent that it was supposed to come as standard.

How? None of the configurations except the $1599 one let you upgrade past a 5750 CPU.

 

Can anybody get this work for 1530's now?

They're saying it's 1330 only, but it hasn't expired yet.

 

dont stress. 25% off xps come ALL the time. miss this one, get the next one.

as for just 1330...maybe glich with website? i suggest calling up and having them apply it.

 

This coupon only works for the m1330 now....it worked last week when I went to price my m1530, today it only works for the m1330....I talked to 2 people at dell, both claimed to have never seen that coupon before and knew nothing about it not working on the m1530. They pretty much told me to go pound salt....I was going to talk to a manager but I just said oh well, they come around quite often. Hopefully another one will surface before school starts....

 

prices arent near as good as they have been in the past with these coupons. The basic config adds up fast with modest options, and they better starting configs are jacked up high with big instant $$ off, which of course disappears when using a coupon. I suggest passing on this one.

 

I actually got them to apply it to me. I argued with them for quite a while. I'm not sure if they just gave up arguing with me or what, but they did apply it.

It's true when you get up there that the prices start to...add up, but if you're just looking for a minimalistic [relatively], configuration, it's pretty good.
