    I've been waiting a long time to buy my college laptop but it seems the coupons are always used up before I get to them. So I decided to wait until they release new ones(which is supposed to be today, August 3) but all the new coupons suck compared to the old ones(where they had 30% off, $450 off $1499+, etc).

    Are they coming up with any more of the old coupons anymore? What is my best bet for getting a good laptop? I want a laptop for entertainment multimedia purposes(no gaming) and preferably the Dell 1705 model. The problem is I don't have much money.

    I've been thinking about buying from Dell Outlet since the deals are really really good and I don't mind used/slight scratched stuff but I can't seem to find coupons for Dell Outlet.

    Can somebody help me out? I've been meaning to buy this **** laptop for 2 months now but so far I haven't gotten anything accomplished yet.

    hmm yeah it -could- be that there are no more $750 off coupons..
    I got mine (and used it on the last day, the 2nd of August) on http://www.dailyedeals.com/free_online_coupons/dell.htm
    and it worked like a charm :) god that would suck so bad if they don't post any more coupons.. I heard they usually stop in september (when all students got their notebook)

    Sht, what is it that everytime I use the $450 off coupon there always seem to be an error? I fit all the criteria so I guess the only explanation is that the 4000 user limit has been reached.

    FYI by the end of this month Dell says it will offer core 2 duo ( at least in the XPS ) , so if you wait a bit more it might be worth it .

    If it wants simple pricing to work , Dell will have to simply lower its prices by a simple 30% to get the NO coupon simple pricing to simply work .

    Uh, care to back that statement up? I havent seen Dell make any statements about the core2duo. Ive hardly even seen speculation.

    Search ebay for dell coupons. They've got 10% off Dell Outlet (including XPS systems). Also they've got some coupons for % off inspirons, not sure if they are still valid or not.

    Please don't tell me that that e1705 deal is done. I saw the new "no coupon hassle" campaign thing and it sux compared to a 750 off coupon. Since there are still 20% coupons floating around till aug 9th, you think its possible some more coupons will be released after that?

    I have to make a decision soon...schools starts in 4 weeks.
