I haven't seen much talk about Dell's coupons, but they usually have some great deals. I'll try to keep you guys updated on what they are offering if anyone is interested.
Right now they have the following deals for laptops: 25% off $999+ Inspiron Laptops - Expires 6/12/08 (Code: 66Z2MXLFSZF43P) 30% off $1299+ Inspiron Laptops - Expires 6/12/08 (Code: H873GJC2846CV5) 25% off $1599+ XPS M1330/M1530 Laptops - Expires 6/12/08 (Code: 0VXPPHRHPXHGTM)

Dell is not a very good company.

I have had excellent luck with their laptops, I've had the E1505 and E1520 for quite a while with no issues.

In my experience Dell LAPTOPS suck. Dell desktops seem to last much longer. My Inspiron 9300 (in sig) didn't even last 3 years. The i8200, my dad had didn't last two years. Not inexpensive problems either, motherboard, cpu, hard drive, the list goes on. No more dells for me.

I totally agree!! They are good for businesses and schools and thats about it!! I recently talked someone out of getting one and instead talked them into an ACER and I am positive he made a good decision and is now hooked on his Acer. As for the laptops well I dont have much experience with dells laptops but, im sure they are just as crappy as the desktops!

Geoff posted a good-will gesture so any interested folks could partake in some $ saving, and you guys jump like a pack of rabid dogs with the badmouthing.
Cripes, guys...really... Edit; Anyway, on-topic. My wife's Inspiron 8200 she's had since '02 and used as a desktop replacement every day is just now starting to see some hardware issues. I'd say that's pretty damned reliable. It must bring a tear to some of your eyes knowing that her 'POS Dell' continues to outlive your custom-builts.
