don't forget to click on the option of upgrading the keyboard & mouse to the logitech wireless version. (the one that says save 30%) - Its €50 to buy in the shops but a dell error means they will give you the wireless keyboard & mouse and it will deduct about 9 quid off your total price.

Brilliant!

Is the Inspiron 1520 still available? I can't for the life of me find it on the dell.ie website.

Their Ebay outlet used to be good and I got many a good bargain there. Don't bother with it much now though. Too many idiots bidding too early and going waaayyy over the odds. I've seen some machines (mostly laptops) going for more on the Ebay outlet than you could buy them for new on the retail site.

tramoredude · 26-05-2008 01:27PM

Anyone know if you can use the coupons when checking out on the outlet store? Or if their free delivery applies to the Ebay Outlet?

Thanks

10% off all Inspiron and XPS systems with minimum order value over €899. Guess that means you can get a cheaper system, and top up the value with bags, printers, etc, if you need them.

Expires 28.05.08

Dang - I knew I should have orderred my new XPS laptop last night!!

Anyone got anymore of these codes?

This actually is a 15% code. Don't forget to go through the dell.ie/epp site which will get you another 6% off

Kiith · 06-06-2008 03:22AM

Yeah that's pretty good laptop for the money. When they ask put in aib or eircom. They don't check this (or at least not that I've seen).

Kiith · 06-06-2008 03:35AM

I added another gig of ram there, for €30 extra, and am going to order it now. As for their delivery service, do they ring in advance to let you know its on the way? Cause i'm not sure if i should set the address to my apartment or my work address.

AlmightyCushion · 06-06-2008 03:39AM

They've only ever rang me when they were having trouble finding the house.

Kiith · 06-06-2008 03:43AM

And if your not there? Its just im on shift, so my schedule is all over the place at the moment. Can i specify a good day to deliver it?

mik_da_man · 06-06-2008 10:33AM

You cannot specify a day, but they have rang me in advance to confirm if someone would be around. If not they may tell you a time the next day that they will be around.
They will not leave it in a neighbours or deliver to an address apart from the cardholders.
Dell are VERY strict on this according to my delivery guy

Comes in at €822 delivered when you go through the EPP and use the code.
Has a faster processor and bigger hdd than the one you specced above. It also has 3gb RAM as opposed to the 4gb in your one, but Vista 32 can only recognise up to 3gb so the 4gb is overkill.

boardsie08 · 06-06-2008 11:31AM

Just curious as to why people are saying they're working for Eircom or AIB if they're not?

Is this for the Vostro range, can you get them ex VAT if you're saying it's for a business like AIB or Eircom or something??

Soarer · 06-06-2008 11:37AM

It's because of the EPP, Employee Purchase Program.

Dell have a special arrangement with certain companies that if an employee of theirs purchase a computer from them, they'll reduce the price by up to 10% depending on the price of the unit.
Most of the big companies are affiliated, and you're supposed to be an employee to benefit.
So if asked, you say you work for Eircom or whatever. They don't ask for proof, AFAIK.

Nothing to do with getting VAT off I'm afraid.

boardsie08 · 06-06-2008 12:48PM

Soarer, thanks for that! Never knew that.. that's handy to know!

And this Epp Discount - can that be used in conjunction with other offers/discount codes also?

The only thing about that is the 15.4" monitor. The one i posted has a 17" monitor (17.0" Widescreen WXGA+ (1440x900) TFT Display with TrueLife), which i didnt include in the post for some reason. I'll either take it as it is above, with 4gb of ram, or go back to 3gb and get a bigger hard drive.

Soarer · 06-06-2008 02:27PM

Yup!

Just click on http://www.dell.ie/epp, and when you get to your basket, apply the money-off coupon, and the whole lot gets deducted.

The EPP doesn't give you discounts on the Outlet prices though, but still....;)

Kiith · 10-06-2008 02:09PM

I put an order in earlier today for a dell laptop from the epp site, and put Eircom as my company, but i'm after getting an email from them saying...
