Just Ordered my new Dell 9300

[Mempho]

Here are the specs and price...did I get a decent deal? Did I forget anything? I will be teaming it up with my existing 2001HP monitor for some 8-tabling action while at home...4-tabling on the road.

Man, they always have coupon codes for $1500+ laptops get $750 off. So you could get that entire laptop for the right coupon code for $800. The coupon codes come and go. Gotapex.com lists them everyday. The system itself, looks rock solid. One cool thing about the coupon code, you can add complete care warranty, and you can basically break your laptop 3 years down the line, and get a brand new model.

Really? If I can get that dell laptop for 800, I would pull the trigger and probably forget about my desktop (See Dead Hard Drive thread.)

I think the 750's only really exist for the 2000+ laptops nowadays
