Dell Configuration
I can't seem to get my Dell configured correctly. I have set a $1300 cap and I need to get the following:
Dell 9300 17" with UXGA 1GB RAM Notebook Expansion Dock (could this be purchased cheaper elsewhere?) Windows XP (do I need this instead of Windows Media Center?) Microsoft Office Basic Some type of Security Suite w/ Firewall, Virus, and Spyware Protection DVD Burner I've got coupons from www.gottadeal.com...any other ideas? |

Re: Dell Configuration
You could use freeware/open source for the security software and/or office suite.

The reason he wants the dell is so he can 4 table with no overlap, and I don't think you could build a compuuter like that on the site you listed. |

I'm also in the market for a new laptop, and I really screwed up on my last purchase, so I'd be very interested to see what other people think. I assume someone on this forum's spent a good amount of time messing around with dell's very complicated pricing system and discovered something. Care to share? |

Re: Dell Configuration
I own an Inspiron 6000 when I found a good deal on SlickDeals (http://www.slickdeals.net). Just monitor that site like a hawk and pick up a good laptop deal ($750 off $1500 is usually your best bet).

Re: Dell Configuration
Do you know anything about Dell Outlet computers? Do the coupons work on the computers sold at the outlet?
