Hi,
I heard that usually before Christmass, Dell has some incredible deals
comming up (I heard that last year they had almost 50% off etc). Are they
only avialable by using a code or are they usually advertised at their
website eg "After 300$ instant saving". If they're only with help of a code,
where do I find them (I'm living in Europe, but have friends that go there
all the time so they could bring me a nice christmass present :) ). Thanks
for your help.
Regards,
Raphael

Usually only by using a semi-secret code, but sometimes the codes show
up on their web site also.

Actually, they often have discounts, although right this moment, they
don't have anything really special. But there was a coupon (code) that
expired just yesterday for 30% off most laptops priced at $1,299 or
more. There will probably be a new similar code this coming week ...
that one is common.

The one I'm hoping for, which they had twice last year before Christmas,
is "$750 off $1,500 [or more]". So you get a really loaded up laptop
(fast CPU, huge hard drive, DVD burner, lots of memory and a 4 year
warranty with accidental damage coverage) for $750. No guarantee that a
50% coupon will happen, but 30% off is a common sure thing, that one
shows up quite often.

The best place to watch for these is at www.techbargains.com

Thanks a lot for your help. I'll keep my eye on that website. It's crazy as
the deals in US are just SOOOOOO good. I'm still debating between an IBM
T60p and some really hooked up Dell :).

The problem with buying a US unit if you don't live in the US is that
you may have a real problem if you need service. But from what I've
seen, prices here are lot better than almost everywhere else in the
world. In some cases, you might save enough to come to the US to pick
it up, although Dell being almost exclusively mail-order, that is difficult.

Yes,
I already thought of that, but with that kind of saving, I might as well get
an international warranty and accidental damage cover :) That's around 300
US for 4 years, so I'll still have 400 bucks to spend on making that baby
fly ;)

Oh people overseas can send as many Dells to my house as they want too
and that is fine with me. And they are more then welcome to come and
pick them up if they like too. As I don't mind one bit. ;)

Barry- Do you remember the Dell model/models that were advertised at
$750.00 off $1,500 or more?Just want to be on the lookout for them. I
checked out Techbargains. That's quite a website. Lots of info. Bob.

No, I don't remember, and anyway what they did last year has no bearing
on what they might do this year. Just keep your eyes open (PS - the
best deals are quantity limited and sell out fast (hours))
