SpaceMonkey, I strongly advise you wait for the week of christmas, otherwise you will regret making your purchase now.

I have been keeping track of the notebook prices and the amount show on your receipt is pretty expensive.
At the week before sitex, they already have the $1499 which includes the x300 64mb, 750 proc, 100gig drive,bluetooth, 512mb.
I go ahead and configure the notebook with 128mb x300, 760 proc, 1gig ram, win pro, 9 cell battery, better resolution display and I hit between $1850 to $1900.

Now tell me, which is better?

Based on my daily "today newspaper" observation back from a couple month till now, there are a quite few attractive deals that are much better than the one that your are showing to us.

So, wait till around 20th to 24th of dec and you will thank me for it, I guarantee it will be cheaper. Its only 2 to 2 and half weeks of waiting time.

I myself have already bought 3 inspiron 6000 and other than the bloatware that they installed in the notebooks, I find my purchase is worth every dollar.

Now wait till christmas and I am going to get another one, this time for my wife...heheh

700m and 710m....wat the diff huh?

Can I ask .. u re-format using the given XP CD? and also need to re-install all the drivers, right?

thanks for your reply! appreciate lots!

yeah.. sitex they were selling at 1499 with much better configuration and i thought the x'mas special would be a steal even thou the x'mas promo isn't as fantastic as the one at sitex. i guess i will have to just wait till x'mas

1 question.. did Dell give 3yrs warrenty for the sitex promo?

thx once again!

Yea, Dell easily has the cheapest configuration, like what many shop owners would say, Dell is Funan and Sim Lim public enemy number 1.

 

[urbach]
