My 9300 which I got the first week of April and with which I'm extremely pleased after having spent 3 weeks on the road with it. I used an 800 dollar off coupon. I was so excited upon discovering the existance of "Dell Coupons" thanks to this site. I'd not have gotten such a nice laptop had it not been for that. I was just going to get a "bottom of the barrel" laptop to check email and web surf. Now I am so happy playing Doom or Far Cry when I'm stuck in a hotel room haha.

After receiving the laptop I got a coupon in the mail for 75 dollars off of an upgrade to the 3 year warranty, which at time of order would have cost 269. I decided to get the 3 year warranty plus Complete Care, and the total for all this was 330 dollars (there is some tax in there).

I got a Samsonite Sport Backpack for 50 bucks which carries the laptop very well.

I also ordered 1 GB of Ram from Newegg for 120 dollars.

So my total in this is about 1850 of which 330 is for the 3 year warranty+complete care. Since I travel so much and also tend to keep stuff for a long time (I don't upgrade just cause something new comes along) I feel the warranty was worth the money. It is the only time I've felt a extended warranty was anything but a rip off.
