I'm not a big Refurb guy. In fact, I've never purchased a Refurbished anything before. But, that just changed...
I've been looking for a laptop that I can take "on the go", like when I go out for lunch, or on weekend trips, or just driving around town, etc. I already have a fully loaded Dell 6000, so I don't need a maxed out system for my 2nd laptop (for those that are wondering, I find the 6000 to be a tad big/heavy to grab & go).
Anyway... thanks to a 20% off Dell Outlet coupon, I was able to snag a refurbished 700m for $783.20 plus tax. It's only a 1.8 Ghz w/ 512 MB of RAM and a 60 MB HD, but it should be plenty good for what I need (email, surfing the net, etc). And at that price, I won't have to be as nervous about tossing it in the car or getting french fry grease on the keyboard. Well, you know what I mean.
Next I'd like to get one of those Broadband cards, and be totally mobile. The 8-cell battery this unit comes with should help there.
By the way, I thought about getting the 710m, but for some reason I just don't like the new grey-colored keyboard. Go figure.

Regarding broadband cards, the service still is too high. I normally can find a free hotpot in my area. I also have an account with Freedomlink. If you have AT&T/SBC DSL, the cost is $1.99 per month. There are thousands of Freedomlink hotspots in U$.
but I can get it for $49 per month ($59 minus a 19% discount).
The free tmobile weekend deal is only for tmobile cell users...rite? If so, then I don't have tmobile.
