->The official POST ABOUT YOUR NEW DELL NOTEBOOK thread. <-

I'm sooo mad right now. I got my e1705 last week and today, I went on Dell and re-configured my laptop specs to see if the price changed. I ordered my laptop around 2 weeks ago and if I would've ordered it today, I would've saved ~$250! I paid $2280 (pre-tax) and the same unit I configured today cost only $2020... Argh! I'm so not happy right now. I know the computer market is constantly getting cheaper but not $250 in 2 weeks! Anyone else go through something similar?

Well this was my very first one, second hand though, but still great!
very minimal leaks, no dead pixs..

Pentium M 533MHZ FSB 2.0 GHz
1 Gig 533 DDR2 (upgrading soon)

Guys, May I know what you do to your laptop after buying it? Like how you guy maintain yaour laptops. Let me know too How you guys improve your laptop's performance like overclocking and such... (driver updates, OC programs etc to boost laptop performance)

Thanx Guys!!

[whistle]

how is everyone getting the 6400s? is it thru ur work? i tried to buty thru small business and they said i coudlnt

I'm pretty sure the 6400=E1505.

[A_Student]

I'm pretty sure the 6400=E1505.

That's what I think, too. But the deals and prices on the 6400 don't match those for the E1505. Try configuring a 1505 and a 6400 for the same price - pretty sure you can't do it. The business one gets you more bang for your buck.

And yeah, I ordered a Dell with a business discount code.

[Greg]

Yeah, the pricing is different because two different marketing groups are at work here.

Dell supposedly will refund the difference. I noticed this link on another thread.

Here's the thread:
Can Dell adjust price within certain days of purchase?

i just ordered the laptop on monday, and it says its ship date is 7/13/07. is that accurate, or will i morethan likely recieve it sooner? i dont know if i can wait that long.

[natarajv]

I am wondering that too. I ordered on June 10th, and it gave me a June 30th ship date. It's still in production. How could it honestly be taking this long? Normal Dell build times are between 3-6 business days. It's been 8 business days!
