Doh! Just bought a 6000 last week of dell outlet for $950 shipped, incl the WUXGA and 80GB HD. Looks like I could have saved more.

Happy B-day there big guy.

I've been trying to hold off till August for one of these but I may have to pull the trigger.

This is phenomenal. Before the $750 off, I'm looking at spending around $2200. Recommendations?

This time I will not fail.....I'm getting one with my most recent whoring money!!! Thank you "anon casino" site!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm at work so I can't read the terms in depth, but looking around on Dell.com isn't THAT shady, so I got away with it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Anyhow, does anybody know if it's gravy for me to spec out a computer to $1456 and then add a $59 wireless router? Total is $1515 but it's not all in the computer line, will I be able to use the coupon? I know these things run out quick, so I don't wanna be fumbling around. I could very easily spend the $45 bucks elsewhere on the computer (probably get only 1 Dimm of DDR instead of 2 so I could add another 512mb later).

Anyhow, if anyone knows the answer to my question I'd appreciate a reply [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks doods

If size really isn't a concern a 9300 would be your best bet. Upgrade to 1GB ram, 1.83GHz cpu, bigger battery, and whatever else you want should bring it to $2200 pre-discount.

I am pretty sure it all has to be on the computer, not just the order.

I'm pretty computer illiterate. If I were to buy one of these it'd just be for poker and maybe taking notes in class. My friend told me that I dont need to buy the word/excel package since I already have the disc, is this true? Also, how do these specifications look?

Save yourself $70ish by picking the "512 MB 1 Dimm" option for $100 and then going to http://www.crucial.com and buying another 512 MB DIMM for $80ish. Save a little more by leaving it at 256 MB 1 Dimm and buying two 512s at Crucial ($180ish total vs. $160ish total).

How often do you plan to use it in class? I'm a big fan of battery upgrades, but a lot of people here would suggest rather than upgrading this battery that you purchase a "backup" 9-cell instead.
