Umm, I didn't quote a site for Dell laptop prices... I did two configurations on dell.ca for those pridces. I'm not quire sure what you're talking about.

I specifically stated in my post that those were custom configs from Dell, and then you go and post two completely unrelated prices to say that I'm wrong? Who's the one who's not backing up their claims?

On the site you quoted, the one that compared the M60 and 8600, it has the prices of the rigs they compared... Next time read your sources. But this topic isnt necessary anymore.

too many choices thats all....Its normal to second guess ypurself when you are plunking down 3K.

So...I am SORRY if I have offended.

Now lets see those benchmarks from a fx1000
The main reason that I pushed this so persistantly was based solely on the fact that you had questioned my credibility with no apparent remorse. That is one thing that I take more serious than anything else in my life. In your last post, it reflects a different state all together and that is something I can admire.

When I make comments in my life that I regret, or where I feel that I am mistaken, I am usually the first to admit that to be the case. On that issue, I hold others to the same standard. I do not always expect to make friends in doing so, but in that particular case I will be persistent at a high cost.

So thank you for showing that side, and in my mind we can move on because that was my purpose in what I did and said. I do hope the 8600 or m60 works out and suits your needs. The most important thing is being extremely happy with your choice going into the transaction. Regardless of which one you choose, check the Coupon section in the dell forum, as you will usually find 15% off coupons or others. I usually receive one a week and post them, along with countless other people. I would also recommend signing up immediately for their newsletter, as that is why dell sends me the coupons. It usually takes about 2 weeks to start getting the coupons, but if you buy in the meantime, they will probably have them in the coupon forum. The part I signed up for was small business, as they are usually the best coupons.

If you should choose Alienware, the only coupons I know of are $80. Usually found in any magazine add (Maximum PC, CGW, etc.)



On one other note, solely mentioning this in a comical sense: "dont sell when its already sold." They had this on the show "The Apprentice" last week. A 10 year old told one of the guys this and about blew his mind. Don't know if that is where you saw this, but it was one of the best lines I've seen from someone that age in a long time.

Either choice he would be happy with. Assuming everything is the same chassis and build wise he should be more than satisfied.

And according to the website, the M60 was cheaper

Precision M60(XP Pro) : $2713
Inspiron 8600(home) : $3895
Brotha that better be in pesos cause no way in hell an 8600 is going for 3895.

Umm... I specifically stated that I had done custom configs to match them as close as possible. The machines in that roundup are OLD. Again, arguing numbers by posting incorrect numbers is just dumb.

YOU POSTED IT!!!! I was just using the resources you posted, its not my fault your sources are out of date.

Brotha, dont worry about it. I already said that i wouldnt go customize it (have better stuff to do) This thread is over.
