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?

Re: Time to buy from Outlet?
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

Re: Time to buy from Outlet?
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.
