The second one doesn't work. It removes all the price breaks once you get to the shopping cart for some reason. I built the system to $1512.00, got to checkout and applied the coupon and my price was still $1220 something...what am I doing wrong!?!

I added the recommended changes. See if that works for you. This coupon is still working. I wonder if some configurations are disqualifies the $500 coupon.
 
Just put in an order for the second laptop (exactly as described) and it went through fine. Final price was 849+tax = 922.24, with free shipping.

Thanks so much spoofee!
 
I recommend an extended warranty if you can get that to work with the coupon. When my computer with a 1 year warranty crashed on me after a year and a half they wouldn't even respond to my emails or phone calls, just kept insisting that I had to send it in and pay for repairs. Definitely go for at least 2 or 3 years if you can get that to work with the coupon!
 
Thanks for the warranty advice. I have gotten a notebook computer that I got warranty for in circuit city and even with warranty they won't fix it for me. They kept on blaming it was software that caused the computer to run slow and shut itself down automatically!!! I had to get it fix myself and found out it's an overheating problem, but they would not reimburse me. I hate computer warranty now. BUT ANY RECOMMENDATION ON HOW DELL WARRANTY SERVICE IS LIKE? ARE THEY NICE PEOPLE? I wonder if they try to rip off people with warranty sometimes, because they have all the excuses to not fix your stuffs!!!
 
Oh and I got mine for 799+54 tax. I happen to got a 100 gift certificate. Yay!!!!!

Re Dell warranties

Just wanted to reply about the Dell warrantee question, as I've had recent experience.
1.) I had a desktop system under warrantee and had a disk crash due to poper hit this past summer. Called Dell. They tried to diagnose a bit over the phone, couldn't get things to work. They shipped me a new disk so I had it in a day. Of course, I had to rebuild the system, and was lucky enough to be able to use Knoppix to be able to copy my essential data files off the disk to another machine. Dell was, IMHO, very liberal in quickly giving me a new disk. :) :bigok:
2.) My brother just had a desktop system with a 3 year Gold warrantee (on site repair.) He uses the system for business and has like 6 years of data on the system. The problem was that it _appeared_ that the network interface on the motherboard had gone bad. He called Dell and they sent a tech. After trying 3 motherboards they couldn't make things work, so the were going to send him a whole new system. Would take a week to configure. But he had one card he had to switch himself. And then reinstall all his apps, and data.
A horror. Turns out there was nothing wrong with the system :confused: , the problem was in his (brand new, just replaced) cable modem. So he called off Dell.
Again, Dell warrantee service was quick, courteous, friendly, not totally competent, but covering the incompetence was errors which would cost them. :) :bigok:

So - do your backups if you value your data, and the Dell warrantee seems to be a good protection.
Just,

dell service

I bought a low-end inspiron 2200 for my daughters college. I paid for it with my american express(gold card with buyers protection); had the standard 1 year warranty. 1 year and 11 months later the power supply shorted out and fried the motherboard. I called amex, faxed them the Dell receipt, I got a shipping box with a prepaid postage in 2 days, shipped it to the Dell repair center, got a new motherboard and power supply, and it has been working perfect since (1 year). AMEX will double the warranty with buyers protection on everything you buy with it. :)
 
WOW, thanks, I'll check AMEX out. I think I will also get the warranty for my dell too. It's sad that computers are kind of undependable, I guess it's just the luck of the draw. My hp desktop work like a charm so far for the last year and a half, and I really stress it out as far as games, and video editing. Thanks all.
 
I got it to work as well!! $799+ tax including 2nd day shipping.
 
I used the $100 off $1499 coupon from that stocking game and it worked..forgot to mention that. The system lets you stack it even though the other coupon reduced the price. So I used the $500 coupon + $100 coupon.
 
I'm no longer getting the $100 off for the processor upgrade. It was in my cart, then I went and changed the HDD, and then it was gone. Even the link to the promotion is no longer working.

Edit: Now the link is gone too ...guess I shouldn't have waited so long to pull the trigger. :(

I finally figured out you had to drop down from the original to get to the additional processors. Run things thru, just a little different configuration as I added a TV tuner, and used a $100 coupon off the stocking game so got a price of $854 or 500+100+100 off & free shipping.
 
What's wrong with the math?

Ok, if you have a coupon for $500 off $1500 and another coupon for $50 off, how are you getting the price down to $850? Shoundn't the final price be $950? It's basic math!

Because there was a $100 off processor discount which is no longer valid.
