My new Inspiron 6000 specs:

Intel® Pentium® M Processor 730 (1.60 GHz/2MB Cache/533MHz FSB)
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
1Yr Ltd Warranty, 1Yr Mail-In Service, and 1Yr Technical Support
15.4 inch WXGA LCD Panel
512MB Shared DDR2 SDRAM 1 Dimm
60GB Hard Drive
24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive
Integrated Intel® Media Accelerator 900 Graphics
9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery (80 WHr)
Intel® PRO/Wireless 2915 Internal Wireless (802.11 a/b/g, 54Mbps)

Total w/ shipping: $1,300

I love the laptop but I don't really care for the low end display and I'd like more ram. I've also been reading that people have been buying the Inspiron 6000 fully loaded for less then $800!

So should I send it back so I can make a better selection. The only issue is that I'd have to wait until the money is put back into my account. I believe Dell takes 7-8 business days to fully give the full refund. i'd probably have to wait 2 weeks until I received my new system. I can wait though...

So should I send it back?

You would save some cash if you did.

I just ordered the 6000 a week ago for $943.00 shipped:

1.6GHz
15.4" WSXGA+ upgrade
512MB 1Module upgrade
40GB (upgrade myself later)
8x DVDRW Burner

Used the 40% off. Might be able to configure something better with a coupon.
 
If you can wait try and get in on the 40% off coupon. I was able to get my Inspiron 9300 for $953 as configured below:

1.6ghz
17" WXGA+
256mb (added a 1GB kingston module from newegg.com for $105)
40GB (the cheapest drive option ended up being a toshiba 5400rpm with 16mb cache)
DVD/CD-RW
256MB Geforce 6800go
6-cell battery, Intel 2200BG wifi, but no bluetooth
XP Home and Wordperfect software only
90-day warranty
 
I would, and did! I got a 700m for like 1600.00 shipped. I wasnt happy with it (or the price) so I returned it. I then got this:

Intel® Pentium® M Processor 730 (1.60 GHz/2MB Cache/533MHz FSB)
Microsoft Windows XP Home
1Yr Ltd Warranty, 1Yr Mail-In Service, and 1Yr Technical Support
15.4 inch WXGA LCD Panel
256MB Shared DDR2 SDRAM 1 Dimm (upgrade on Newegg for ~120.00 chepaer than Dell upgradeS)
60GB Hard Drive
8x DVD Burner
Integrated Intel® Media Accelerator 900 Graphics
9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery (80 WHr)
Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200 Internal Wireless (802.11 b/g, 54Mbps)

Also, it came with a free printer... all for 973.00 shipped
 
You could also try calling them and see if they won't give you the price break on the one you already have. The current coupon I see listed at gotapex is $700 off.
