Using one of my incredible brain cells , I typed vantec in this "search" field. I know not what it is , but it is truly wonderous
I wouldn't call it a terrible experience. You did get the offer of a free printer or warranty upgrade. That ain't shabby at the end of the day. A lot people don't even get a cent off.
cut and paste,
If you are buying a laptop within a $2200 budget most dell deals are the same + or - $50. This is after all deals and coupons.
However if you get a fully speced out lappy priced more than 2200, dell coupons like 15%...
The 8600 does not have a trimetal body. Its a plastic. or is it?
I can't believe no one mentionened the most important differance.
The 8600 has a blue border around the keyboard, the d800 has a silver border.
