link?

not sure if they will call the new one 800M or 710M. This will be a great computer if only 2.9lb and 13" screen, never see a computer this light with 13"

buy the cheapest memory config you can and upgrade yourself, sell the spare parts on Fleabay

Actually it is half of that. Because the coupon takes 50% off.

ummm not really. just because you're using a 750/1500 coupon doesn't mean you're only paying $75 for the memory upgrade...unless you don't want anything else as an upgrade and you only need it to get to 1500...

Inspiron 700m Qty 1
Intel® Pentium® M Processor 725 (1.60 GHz/400MHz FSB)12.1-in WXGA, Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Unit Price $1,536.00
Memory 512MB DDR SDRAM 2 Dimms
Hard Drive 60 GB Hard Drive 60GB
CD ROM/DVD ROM 8x CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW) with double-layer write capability
Wireless Networking Card Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200 Internal Wireless
Primary Battery 65 WHr 8-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery 8BAT [310-5292] 27
Limited Warranty, Services and Support 1Yr Ltd WarrantyFYI if you dont konw that 8 cell primary battery for the 700m adds weights and makes the notebook bigger, its not a battery that fits into the compartment but adds onto the back. I do know and it is still better. The 4 cell has a short fuse. I have tried them both many times. It only sticks out an extra 3/4 inch.

. actually, I like the 9300 model much better, as it is just built better, runs faster and has better video upgrades. But it runs more than $1500 well eqipped, so this coupon isn't that good for it.

Wait wait wait... I am confused.
So, what you're saying is that even this is "Primary Battery", it still "Sticks out", not like regular battery shaple, but hold longer time?
This is not good.

Maybe with smaller battery + external DVD drive

yeah thats what i was thinking, 2.8lbs + 13" seems impossible.

S

the lightest notebooks are low 4lbs. i dont think you will ever see a 2.9 lb notebook x_X though you never know........... i would've believed the 13" notebook called 800m or whatever if you had made the weight more reasonable. I would have just thought, oh maybe they are trying to get some of the market that the apple ibook 12" are getting.

these coupons making my 700m less valueable now...

Yea I would like a 14" widescreen like compaq's as well. 15.4 is too big. 12.1 is too small.

Yeah. This's getting old... come on D3ll, what else u've got?

Expect 10,000 uses to be gone in about 45 minutes.

lol, to think this is the same price as last year in october...we're not getting much of a deal at all. I thought computer prices drop over time
