Enjoy your computer ... One question: What is DPA?

DPA is Dell Preferred Account. Its basically a dell credit card. I got one when i ordered my laptop on saturday. My interest rate is insanely high though. Its 26.99%. Luckily i got the no interest til january 2007 financing promotion though (main reason i ordered the laptop).

buddha...nicely done, missed that one

lucky...Dell Preferred Acct

Hi all. I've been lurking around these boards for the last few days to get some hints and pointers on a laptop purchase, and I have just finally signed up.

This is my first laptop purchase and if it hadn't been for this forum I wouldn't have a had a clue on what to get or where. After reading several posts here, I came up with the following order. I seem to be in the ballpark with the above configurations and prices. My only concern is that I only opted for the M 750 processor (1.86ghz). Any opinions on this purchase?

ur so lucky u don't have to deal with tax. i live in ca n pay tax
tax sucks

ya i had to pay tax in ny ....

Finally pulled the trigger a moment ago with the $750 off coupon. I also received a $50.00 personal off coupon in the mail just before pulling the trigger (how timely).

Anyway, I got the 760 processor, gig of ram, 60 gig 7200 rpm hd, xga display, the go 6800 and dvdrw. Total of $1355 out the door.

Hope I did the right thing, because the only thing I'll use this for is gaming. After reading tons of favorable and obviously unbiased reviews on this forum, I finally did it. I've been scouring the outlet for about a month now, but it seems that the price difference is almost negligible between outlet and new.

The only thing that I think I might regret is not getting the true life display.

Current rig:
Dimension 8300 P4 3.0 800 fsb w/ HT
120 Gig HD sata 7200 rpm
1 Gig ram
ATI x800xt pe video card
19" Viewsonic VA912b LCD

You sure did well. TruLife..it depends. I have TrueLife on my 700m and I got spoiled. TrueLife was the entire reason I sold my gorgeous 6000D and got 9300.

Now I am jealous. My 9300 was around $1200 shipped, but I put no less than $400 into upgrades.
However, I have quite a few spare parts by now.

Look at my sig for specs.

Congratulations and welcome to the club!

I placed my order yesterday it came to $2585 US dollars.
