after coupon, it was 598, after tax right around 650. and that obviously includes the full year warranty and all that typical dell stuff. awesome.

should be here in a few days. oh, also free shipping. :slight_smile:

thanks for the help all

edit:
i built the system new just to see what it would go for, a bit over 1200 including tax and shipping. not a bad deal at all

Just got my laptop from UPS about an hour ago… so far, i’m extremely pleased with it… currently posting from it now…

i would recommend anyone looking for a good bang for the buck desktop or laptop to head over to the dell outlet…

thanks again for the help in picking this :slight_smile:

:tup: glad you’re happy with it. God, dell should give me referral bonuses, i’ve sent them at least 10 purchases to their outlet, plus the 2 i’ve bought for myself.
I have pretty much the same specs as you on my 1537 except with the WXGA+ screen and blu-ray drive instead of the backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader, and 9-cell batt.
