All of you on the fence about buying: Buy Now.

Thread Starter 
Dell Home is having the biggest "sale" that I've seen them do in a very, very, long time. Basically, you can combine all the site promotions (Mail in rebate, free hard drive upgrade, free shipping, free combo drive) with a $500 of 1499 or more coupon. You are looking at getting a $1500 8600/600m for $800.

I had planned on waiting until Sonoma was released, but getting a decked out 8600 for $1350 (originally 2050) is too good to pass up. I spec out this same system week in and week out with all the new promos, and it has never dropped below $1600.

Anyways, just giving you all a heads up.

The $500 off $1499 coupon is GPG2WX?WJRLZ11

Too bad this wasn't available for Canadians, because i would place an order for an XPS right this moment.

I was on the fence too, will soon be an 8600 owner. What a killer deal I'm guessing they are just making room for the new models, but they have to be losing money here!

Depends how you spec your system but from the 5th to 7th u got 25% off...

now if you spec like me (2800 base model) the 25% was a heck of a lot more..
but then again the 200 mail in rebate is damn nice...

No sh!t. And you'd think with the Canadian dollar becoming very strong, that Dell Canada would be able to offer some nice deals.

Always wanted to buy an extneded battery for my 700m so bought a 700m with an extendo battery.

Plus I ordered 8600 with the 1.5 WUXGA screen with 128 VRAM only 850 at the end!

well you have to pay for it eventually. Of course you could always sell one off.
