$400 Dell Laptops

[BWillie]

There was a thread up here a couple months back for a great deal on some Dell laptops. I can't find it. They were 15 inch and $400. I want to buy one but I can only get search through the first 5 pages of threads and then it is gone. Does anybody know what thread I'm talking about and the link to it?

I know what one you are refering too. It was during black friday. So it may be in a thread with that label on it. I bought one of them lap tops. iTs the Dell Vostro.

Check your local Circuit City's for Clearance model laptops..

They are brand new in a box, came out in January or Feburary but all are being forced into to Clearance because of the SP1 models.. We are talking quad core desktops that went for 900 dollars going for 560 brand new..

I bought a laptop for my niece and one for my mom brand new at 197 dollars each.. HP with Athlon chip, it is not the greatest but they just need it for internet browsing..

The tablet has not dropped down in price yet enough for me to buy one.. It has only dropped a couple hundred dollars so far..Waiting for it to get into the the 500-600 dollar range...

When you go in ask the sales person to print out a PSB and tell you which clearance models they have.. You should be able to find a great deal on a new unit..

I went to the local CC before I read your email and looked at thei 14" laptops. They didn't seem to have any good deals. I didn't know about the PSB thing at the time. Do they have other laptops not on the floor that list will pull?

I looked at the 20-30 laptops on the floor and didnt see anything that great. Although I am looking for a 14" and they had less than 5.

Generally they do not show clearance models.. They try to send them back to the manufacturer.. Now 14" models are going to be a lot harder to find.. Most 14" models are tablets or the centrino models.. The ones I looked at were the 15" and 17" ones..

You might also have them check what other stores carry.. If you lived in KC I would just have you come talk to me and I would see what clearance deals we had.. We literally have 30+ older brand new models at our store.. I try and sell them and give people good deals instead of dealing with rebates..

I would just ask one of the managers or associates next time you are in there that you are interested in their clearance items from last fall.. Hopefully one of them is nice enough to go look for you..

You can also try getting me a store number and I might be able to look next time I work if I remember to check CP..

The one thing I hate about laptops is the way they place memory.. More then likely that lap top has 2 256mb chips.. And most laptops only have two slots unlike four on desktops..

1gb of ddr2 runs about 30dollars brand new, so it would cost you 60 bucks to run 2gbs in a laptop.. And if you were lucky enough to get a laptop that ran 4gb those ****ing 2gb chips jump up to hundred dollars..
