***-->The Official Dell Adamo Thread<--***

Not bad... But still too pricey for what's in it.

Dell needs to throw in newer CULV procs and have 4 gigs of RAM standard.
It's a start but not enough I don't think.

Anyone seen any prices in the outlet yet? Been checking but they haven't put any in there yet....

I've been checking a few times a day..haven't seen any.

If I see one priced at $1,200 I might *bite* a Adam*O*

Cin....

They might actually be around that price seeing as Dell has lowered the prices

Outlet prices are VERY competitive so it'll be interting to see how Dell prices them...

So, with this new 500.00 price drop...brings me here for some advice...
I ordered my Adamo about 3-4 days ago (I posted here previously about it). My status is still "In Production" for my Adamo. Then today, I find out about a 500.00 price drop, a mere 3 days after I placed my order! So, of course, I am a little perturbed by the fact that this reduction was not mentioned to me a few days ago by a Dell Rep when I ordered my PC (unless they were unaware of the upcoming discount, which I doubt, but could be wrong). Anyway, so I call customer service today to receive help with this situation. I asked to either get a 500.00 reduction taken off of my account, or I would gladly order the Desire and pay the difference because now the Desire is so close in price to what I just paid for the Admire...
Guess what...they would not do this for me! I asked the CS rep is there was anyone else I could speak with and basically she told me no!
So, I asked her about their return policy...Apparently I have 21 days to return my PC after I have received it.
So, I guess my question(s) to you all is....
How do you feel about this experience I had with Customer Service?
Do you think what is happening is fair, or am I being unreasonable?
If I return it, my plan is to return it, then order the Desire at the new price, but how long does it normally take for the return process to go through, and my Dell account be replenished? Will it be another 30 day turn-around time to get all this taken care of?
And overall...any suggestions of what I should do about this situation?
Thanks kindly for the answers...Cause boy....$500.00 means a lot to me!

Adamo's have LANDED in the outlet!

Cheapest ones are $1066!! Not too shabby AT ALL

The most expensive on there is @ $1600. Hmm... I might pick one up just to play with it,,

lol

They are finally getting to a reasonable price through the Outlet. Too bad I am broke now and there is little chance I'd pick one up.

Well, only thing you can do is try and talk to other Sales reps and tell them about your situation. Tell them that if they don't cancel the order, you WILL return the product. Try 2-3 reps, just to be 100% sure, but don't press too hard, else you risk getting that stupid restocking fee or whatever it is. Even though i doubt that talking to reps will work.

I have no clue where are you from and about consumer protection law in your country, but i doubt you can do much. Any manufacturer/retailer can change price at his own discretion and once you confirmed your order, you literally signed a contract for certain price. The only guaranteed way to get lower price is to return the notebook once it arrives and go through whole order process again, but it can take several weeks before your refund is issued. I would also check what's the policy on refusal to accept the delivery in your country, it might save some time so Dell doesn't have to send you the return box. But check first.
