Default Re: Should I pull the trigger?

i had a similar situation found a 750 off coupon but i couldn't configure it without the integrated graphics somehow. I ordered it then called and complained the enxt day and they let me reconfigure it on the phone. They said something baout some inital choice i clicked at the beginning of the configuration process that locked me in to some value line with less options. Starting the config from scratch off of there site i was able to get it right. Try that.

the 5400 to 7200 is a prety big jump--probably more significant than the difference between 256mb ram and 1gb ram. I'd try really hard to find a way to get the 7200.

The problem is this. I tried from the base website to configure it. I went to the main Dell website and went through all the steps. I configured a system with the 7200rpm. I then tried to apply the coupon code, but it didn't work. So I called support and he told me to go to www.dell.com/save750 and it would work. I went to that site and it looks like it will work, but the 7200rpm option is not available. I really don't know if I want to try buying it, calling them to change the configuration, and risk not being able to. Is it a viable option for me to buy a seperate 7200rpm notebook harddrive and install it myself?
