    I'd also recommend the seller Bufopan
    Fantastic service, and I'll definitely use them again if I ever decide to go for another Dell laptop!

    As a rough guide what savings are we looking at here?

    Thanks!

    This is more for people looking for high-end gaming machines with I'm guessing at least 100 quid savings on most machines on offer from Dell.ie

    Thanks Funfair!

    My next dell will be bought via our uk company which should work out a bit cheaper than via the irish company.

    What are the battery times like with the xps laptops with a 15 inch screen?

    That looks very good and it appears from their feedback page they've done even better deals as in £799.99 for same spec except for 2gb graphics card!

    Read his feedback everyone happy with there Bargain including myself..

    Maybe he's getting cocky and charging more or Dell is droping the prices as this topic is 2 weeks old

    Couple of points.
    1.Feedback only means he's reliable.
    2. Nothing worse than thinking you've got a bargain and then finding you've paid over the odds.
    3. Suspicion that this is in fact Dell.

    I bought a Dell xps 1210 from that seller about 4 years ago. It was brilliant value at the time, saved nearly 400euro. Looking at it the prices now though they don't seem to be as good.

    1.Feedback is exactly what it says Feedback about the transaction which includes people adding that they got a bargain

    2. The laptop I bought is still around €70 cheaper then Dell.ie was €100 when I bought it

    http://cgi.ebay.ie/Dell-Studio-XPS-15-Laptop-2-93-i7-4GB-500-2GB-NVIDIA-/290521020814?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item43a466f98e

    So not getting a bargain doesen't effect me but if you come back in a months time I'm sure it will be a lower price... such is life...

    3. He's selling brand new machines direct from Dell so maybe it is a type of Dell outlet.. even though he says he's a Dell Authorised seller who knows/cares as long as you receive your goods ;)

    Not sure if this is applicable in this thread but there are people on ebay who by stuff off the genuine Dell ebay outlet and sell them on at a mark up.

    I got my current XPS of the Dell ebay outlet a few years back and one ebayer was buying up most of the stuff and then selling it for more on his own ebay.

    That was when Dell was in Ireland though.

    My Dell = XPS 710 and was got from here on bargain alerts.

    That was back when Dell had an their outlet computers on ebay. They were hilariously under-priced. They'd stick a load of them on at the same time so demand wasn't enough to bring the prices up to normal levels. I'm using one to type this.
