[AggieJohn]

anyone got a code for a discount

[injuredinmelee]

i have an aunt and two cousins and one of my cousins hubbies that work for dell and they dont get hardly jack crap for discounts. I think it is only like 25%. Isnt that crappy?

[Blastoderm55]

Don't bother ordering online. Call in and talk to a rep. They're given a lot of freedom when issuing discounts just to close a sale.

25% of off stuff that will be over 1000 is a pretty darn good one if you ask me

No. Dells margins are very small. The discount is way higher than it should be. My fiancee used to work there.

You should go for the %100 discount and not buy a dell.

[jason]

ill build you a top of the line machine for $700 + 15% building fee

You can choose any school for your discount. It doesn't really matter. Just don't buy a Dell

Their customer service sux. Everytime I call I end up talking to Mohammed in Pakistan or Punjab in India. I cant tell the difference. Its probably one of those guys from the movie Booty Call.

[wyliegrad04]

I realize this will probably open a can of worms, but ...


SCREW DELL!! Get an Apple Macbook pro ... no better laptop on the market right now, if you ask me.

i used a dell laptop for a long time until i got the apple ... good good switch for me.

it would be awesome to put 'comprehensive knowledge of macintosh operating system' on my resume

[wyliegrad04]

jason,
the price is kinda high but they last FOREVER!! i got buddies using iBook g3s ... 5 years old and run smooth ... it's amazing.

look at one of the older iBooks ... I'll sell you an old one I have for $850 ... haha ... been needing to get rid of it since I got the new one.

Here that AJ? He'll get you some sloppy notebook seconds for 8-fitty. Jump on it man!:inlove:

[wyliegrad04]

I never said it's a sloppy second notebook ... I had the chance to upgrade so I did ... my other one isn't being used so i'd sell it to anyone wanting to buy it

Is it a used G3?:p

Why does it have to be a Dell? You can get a real decent computer at BB or CC for right around $500.

I bought a Emachines comp that was fast and loaded with memory a couple of years ago. No problems with it.

[AggieJohn]

but emachines doesn't make laptops

I have owned a bunch of laptops. DO NOT BUY A TOSHIBA. They are having problems with the electrical connection to the motherboard. And you can't fix it. They can n-rig it, but not fix it. And it's expensive to "fix" around $500.

Whatever laptop you decide on, buy a service plan. If you don't you're screwed. If you decide on a Dell, call them, don't order online. They can give you all sorts of extras and discounts just to make the sale.

The gf has a dell and she was having problems with the Customer Service people. I called for her and the guy anserign the phone with his heavy heavy heavy arabic accent told me his name was Alex Cooper. I couldnt help it i just started laughing my butt off. I kept askign him about it everytime he would try and mess with me i would say... " your name isnt really Alex Cooper is it?" Or " You know its Alice Cooper right not Alex. LIke Alice as in Rock and Roll Alice." He finally hung up on me after i finally had enough and started calling him Osama. We went and got her a Compaq the next morning.

you're evil Rick. I've done that a few times though when I used to use my Dell PDA and had to call them with a few questions. I wonder where that thing is at. hmm...

it shazzed me off that they couldnt be honest with me and it started with his name. They think getting these people to use american pseudenyms(sp) is going to make it better that this fag shipped all these jobs over seas.

OHHHHH! You need a laptop. Must have missed that in your post. oops! :blush:

Hey John, have you tried Tigerdirect (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=17) ?
That's a good place to try when you are low on dow.

[Blastoderm55]

I still say you just call Dell. You get ridiculous pricing, and if you're credit is at least fair, you can get an extra discount and good financing with a Dell Preferred Account.
