This seems too good a deal not to pass the word around to those of you in the US.
Slickdeals.net is advertising an offer from Dell which would get you an
Inspiron 6000 for about half the usual price. Or $500 off any other Dell laptop costing $1500 or more.
For the Inspiron 6000, you can get the $500-off coupon and a further $250 mail-in rebate, plus free shipping. For any other laptop - if you wanted a Pentium processor rather than a mobile Celeron - it's $500 off with the coupon.
The coupon expires on Saturday (4 February) or after the first 6000 customers have used it, so if you're looking for a laptop get in fast!
Here's the text from the slickdeals page:
Dell Home has $500 off $1499 coupon code WZHX6B81N9?926 for select Inspiron laptops (8600, 700m, 600m, 6000, and 1000). Expires 2/4 5:59am CST or after 6000 uses whichever comes first.
The best deal seems to be the Inspiron 6000 CM 1.5GHz 512MB 15" Laptop for $1526 - $500 coupon - $250MIR = $776 w/ free shipping. Upgrade the lcd screen to meet the coupon minimum. It is just released and is selling for $1050 w/ the same config over at Dell small business.
