Get the Best Deal Out of Dell for the Computer You Want

Recently my laptop decided to catch fire due to overuse at the power socket, and I needed a new laptop. And anyone who knows me will tell you I don’t like to settle when it comes to my electronics and the will also tell you I am very thrifty too. I went on the search for my ideal laptop and after about a couple of hours of looking at the major manufacturers websites I found the best bang for the buck came from Dell.

Some people cringe when they hear the name Dell, and I can’t blame them, but if you actually look at the big picture of Dell the problems stem from their printers and cheap computers. I honestly don’t know how people can expect to pay $299 for a computer and get a super computer. To even further ease my mind I decided to go with the 3 year warranty plus accidental destruction protection. Granted my laptop with a new Core 2 Duo processor will not be cheap, my first build with Dell online turned out $1958.

Building what you want online is only the first step. After I built one online I called Dell to see what the customer service rep can do for me. The nice lady on the other end got me something similar for $1630. I thanked her for her time got the information I would need for when I call back and hung up. Doing this got my name and build in the system and they would have an idea of what I was looking for when I called back. I was sure I was not going to buy today because I was still not satisfied with the price.

I had a feeling that a new promotion was about to start. Sure enough they had a new promotion began that made the upgrades on the laptop cheaper to add. This brought the price down another $200. After I had the new promotion going for me I searched for Dell coupons. With the new promotion going came new coupons too, and I found the new coupon that gives 20% off a laptop over $999 (no problem there). It is not hard to find them at all. My favorite site to go to for deals is: www.hot-deals.org. I also researched the company I work for to see if they offer an employee purchase program through dell. My company did offer an extra discount.
