Does anyone here have discounts on dell computers? I'm looking into getting a Inspiron 9300. Right now I can find one for $1149.00. Does it get any cheaper? I'm planning on using it for graphics mostly.

You can also look at dell's refurb site

Thanks for the links!

I also checked this place called GotApex.com and they had some REALLY good deals on the dell.. it's like 900 something but when you click on "customize it", it comes up as 1149 so yeah.. it's a little frustrating.

I think there's one out there for 750 now, but it's for laptops 1999 or more. That's still more than I want to spend

256M of RAM ? that ain't gonna make it. I have an Inspiron. I'd go for 1G RAM. They used to run real hot. Have already replaced the MoBo and HD. Get extended warranty. I think they have fixed the hot problem. A working class notebook is around $2k.

well once in a while they have a $750 off a $1299 and up coupon so u can pretty much get a laptop for half off. i think they had one a couple weeks ago but the problem is the coupon code only works for the first couple of thousand people and is usually used up in 30min.

I know.. I saw that too but it's ok. Next time

But I guess the 750 off of 1999 isn't toooo bad.
