I dont think there are any big coupons available right now that'll bring it down much.Keep an eye in the Coupon threads in the Dell General forum for all the weekly (typically updated at the end of the week) deals.

Personally I wouldnt waste my money on the E1705 at this point. Its priced high since its new this week and your not going to see a huge boost from the 9300. I'd suggest going with a 9300 with the 6800GO GPU and 9-cell battery. If thats not powerful enough upgrade the GPU to the 7800GTX for about 320.00 (includes cost of 130w power brick) throught Dell Spare Parts.
Your spending about an extra 1000.00 bucks for the newer system and your not going to see any real performance boost from it.

Just my opinion though. Take it or leave it.

Mope... what over the course of the next month and keep your eye on Fatwallet.com

It appears the Coupon/Deal section here at Notebookforums was abandoned by Adam at the start of the New Year.

p.s. Adrenolin, am I still Red now?

Jax, you're full green as far as I can see. How much power a hit or two has on a low rep guy.

Yea I was just being a dork. I went from -25 to +50 to +3000 in like an hour from a couple anonymous rep'ers.
