Vostro 1500 deal/coupons?

I've been studying the forums and the deals that have been going through and decided on a Vostro 1500 with 8600m GT video. Unfortunately the best deal for that setup passed back in mid July before I started reading the forums.

I signed up for dell business flyers and email sales, but havent gotten anything yet, and want to put in my order for the vostro 1500 this week in the hopes it may arrive early Sept.

Does anyone have any extra dell business % coupons or other discount codes they could PM me please?

I'm tempted to wait until after the 15th to see if the vostro 1500 goes up as the big sale (right now seems to be the vostro 1400 with 8400gs).

There is the Vostro 1500 for $649 but with intel graphics and the 8600gt along with other tweaks pushes it up to $1100. Was hoping for around $800, but maybe I'm stuck waiting for the next Vostro 1500 8400GS deal.

Mucho Gracias!

Thanks for that code, called and spoke with a Dell guy that called me dude at least 10 times, but really nice. Swapped Vista Basic to Vista Home Premium.

 

Thanks for posting the code. Been wanting a bigger monitor so I switched from 1400 to 1500 for the same price.

 

no problem glad i could help. heres a direct link for the xp

I configured a 1500 that came out to $1183.00 -$344 instant = $849.00 before tax.

This is with Vista (I tried unsuccessfully with XP too).

I entered the coupon, and a window popped up stating:

Coupon Error

We're sorry, the coupon code you have entered is invalid. Please check the spelling of the code and the expiration date of the coupon.



Where am I going wrong?

I got the vostro 1500 with the same setup, lesser LCD for $868.
It's essentially the same laptop. Vostro business is US support, Inspiron Home is India.

Also since it will take 3 wks to ship, if a better deal comes along they can call to update or cancel and reorder pushing ship date out. This is a solid deal:

Vostro 1500
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5470 (1.6GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
2GB ram
120 GB Hardrive
CD/DVD Burner
128 MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 8400M GS
$699 US

 

Its not a coupon. Its an e-value code. Its more like a value package. You gotta take what the package offers. Enter it at the bottom of the page where it says "E-Value"

 

enter it into this site under Find an Advertised Product.
http://www.dell.com/content/topics/...tised/advertised?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&~ck=ev

like mcaj said u gotta take the base package but u can upgrade to better parts if you want

edit: you can also look at the latest catalog from this site also.

 

some of those evalues dont work anymore.. i just tried the one for the 1700 and it says its not good
