Well once it goes really live I'm sure it will be offered at $500-700 off.

Intersting Things here:

Can choose No video card:

-256MB NVIDA® GeForce™ Go 6800 [add $199 or $6/month1]


Preliminary Ship Date 3/23/2005

Configued same as my XPS2.
i9300 = $3,381
XPS2 = $3,694
Difference = $313

XPS2 has $500 discount i9300 will get simmilar)

So for $313 you get the ULTRA and some LED lights.

It was a $300 difference for me in total price. $3295 vs 2972 I went with lowest memory possible on each and lowest hard drive as I'll upgrade those seperately.

So....Small Business now sells XPS2 and has a $700 off cupon.
Hrump.
Configued it the same and I would save about 170$ if ordered through small business. But I can only get 3 years service not 4.

....

OK either I am going insane or the site just changed in the time it took me to write this.
Now they offer 4 years through small buisiness.

Now price is closer.
Home XPS2 = $3698 - $500 = $3198
SmlBus XPS2 = $3863 - $700 = $3163

But Home has a $100 mail in rebate for four year service.

Man they are just messing with us. Ill stick with my current order for awhile longer.

Pretty much, but the I9300 can be configured with a slower GPU and CPU as well as minor details and the fancy lights on the xps gen 2.

I configured the 9300 to my XPS below and cam up with a $300 difference as well.

The only caveat is that the 9300 doesn't come with MCE 2005, at least on the S/B site. But it will be interesting to see the diso****s that will come up on Thurs.

SMB never offers MCE2005. But you guys are missing the most important difference between the 9300 and the XPS2: the customizable lid! (Which also isn't offered for the XPS2 on SMB.)

It's a clear plastic frame than snaps on the lid, so you can stick any picture you want in there. I'm going to put a big IBM logo on mine just to confuse people.

Put an apple logo, that would be a ton better.
