I noticed too
*shrug* I'd say they'll drop the prices again within a few weeks so that they can claim "huge savings" are offered, just in time from Christmas.

what kinda price range?
sony center has 2/3 model going from 999-1599.
Pc world do them from 599 - 2299. Some nice compaq ones, good value. Think they have different stuff to the website.

The price on the base I 6000 has incresed but the offer on the upgraded one is even better now.

Go to Dell recommends and modify the 2nd offer on the 6000.
I got a 6000 with Pentium M 740 (1.73 GHZ), 1 GIG of RAM, 60 GIG HD, 64 MB X300 and DVD writer for 1056€ on Sunday.

Best deal I've seen during my time stalking Dell.ie!

That's a good deal alright - I got similar with 512Mb a few weeks ago for €849 though, by virtue of a printing error on an advert in PC Live! (Should have been +VAT, + Del instead of including both). But with the cost of 512Mb ram, they are pretty comparable prices.

reason why their stuff has gone up is because Dell share price took a bit of a tumble a month ago...reason:selling pc's too cheap...obviously HQ and got onto Dell IRL and told them to do something about it...
