Bump, this deal ends today.

 

[sjshaw]

So, Rossman, did you finally get a laptop?

 

[RossMAN]

Nope not yet, trying to convince myself I need it ...

I bought the compaq cuase I couldn't take it any longer...I'm stuck using my sisters laptop or my parents 400mhz machine thats slower than crap cause its an HP...that and I've been wanting one for awhile...needing one too. I'll probably sell it at the end of the summer and get the next dell deal that comes along for the school year

I hope RossMan never gets a laptop so that he will not lost interest. and if he does not lose interest he can contribute more for us.

BTW, that's quite a change in look there.

Yeah what fun would it be if I ever bought a laptop? It wouldn't be.

This is a very good deal but it would cost me around $1600 after adding the extra RAM, and a decent WiFi setup.

Woohoohohohohoho!! I finally did it! I finally bit the bullet and bought myself a smoking new laptop. Actually, I purchased two

First, the specs... Both lappies were identical, spec and price-wise:

I'm kind of dissapointed that it's only SXGA+ and not UXGA+ but oh well...

So the total for each was 1540 before the 150 dollar rebate (up to 5 per "household" ) so that's a grand total of 1390...

Granted, it's a bit stripped down, but the thing I can't get over is that I finally found a top-notch laptop at a low price with both a burner and a DVD-ROM!! That's what really sealed the deal for me.

The reason I bought two was because my zero-initial rate credit card isn't going to arrive for a couple weeks. So I first bought one with one of those wierd Dell Business payment options (because I am, after all, a "business") called a "Dell Account." Apparently, I'll be billed for it so hopefully by the time the bill arrives, my zero-rate card will be here. Then I can pay it off and get my lappie. But, just in case things don't work out (i.e. Dell has second thoughts about my "business"), I also bought it on my approx. 10% rate card... I hope to fleabay that sucker within a few weeks and make a few extra bucks....

Anyway, thanks to everyone who points out these awesome deals. I've been scouring this site for weeks trying to find a good laptop (kicked myself time and time again for missing out on the 8100 closeout... sigh, free 3-yr warranty ) and I finally got a laptop(s) that totally kick ass for a great value.

Last, but not least, the question remains: What did Rossman get? And Rossman, buddy ol' pal, stop changing your icon so often.. I remember being able to find your posts easily by just looking for the very white-bread, clean-cut looking fellow. But now you're all over the place
