I check my email and my eyes light up when I see Dell Small Business under the Subject. I think YES! a possible coupon? Open up the email and it says In Appreciation of Our Ongoing Relationship 15% off Selected Items priced $799 or more!

I'm thinking perfect! My friend actually wants to get her mother a budget laptop and has been asking me to find a deal. I try to configure an 1100 at Dells site, apply the coupon..can't do it. So I go back to the email and click on details and it says:

"This offer cannot be combined with other discounts or coupons and excludes Dell LCD TVs, InspironTM notebooks with mail-in rebates of $200 or more, Inspiron 1100 and 5100 notebooks, and all PowerEdgeTM SC servers. "

Expires 11/21/03.

Wow thanks Dell! According to those limitations it looks like EVERY inspiron notebook is ineligble to use the coupon because they all have discounts or MIR of over $200
:disgust:

They have to know their Inspiron line is probably their best selling line of laptops? Why wouldn't they further entice people to buy them by adding a coupon for them? :(

So Dell sucks because they're offering 15% off on certain products that don't interest you? k buddy.

There's a bunch of $50-$75 coupons floating around for the outlet. I nabbed 4 inspirons, nicely equipped, for $650 a piece. No shipping, no tax.

Good deal.

be careful from dell outlet; their laptops are hit-or-miss with greatly variable quality and dealing with their customer service is a PITA. Many great deals to be had, just be careful. Good luck!
