    Default Time to buy from Outlet?

    When is the best time to look at the deals on the outlet site? Do they refresh their inventory each morning?

    Where are you?

    They upload in the UK between 1.30pm and 3.30pm. If your somewhere else just call the outlet number and ask.

    Its always a deal if you settle for used. Best time to buy is when you really want it.
    XPS M1530 / T9300 / LED / 4GB / 9-cell / Bluetooth / Intel N / 320 7200RPM

    The best time to buy is when it's too good of a deal to pass up. I bought a Vostro 1700 that I really didn't have to have but the deal was just too good to pass up, $500 off select Vostro's. I loaded up a 1700 with Vista Premium, a 8600m GT card, a nice CPU, carrying bag, a wireless mouse all for $824.

    That's when I usually buy. I also bought a 1500 from the outlet store with a 8400m GS card, 160GB HDD, 9 cell battery, 2GB ram DVD writer all for $474. Another time I picked up a brand new Insprion 1501 for $375 from Dell. You just have to keep an eye out for the deals.

    In the US they update their site every 20minutes to the hour. So at 8:40, 9:40, 10:40, 11:40 etc....

    Haha, by that measure I'd be broke within... now.

    Do you resell the laptops on ebay? Or does it give you the warm fuzzies when you get a good deal? I often see a good deal that makes me want to cancel my order for a brand new XPS m1530, and the current month-away shipping date makes me want to switch.
