qinwarrior Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 You might want to wait for second generation of Inspiron 6000 or the up coming Inspiron 9300.

g8crash3r Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 If you really need a laptop like right away, I recommend Dell's Inspiron 8600 not 8600c or 9300, You can also wait for Inspiron XPS 2 to be released this March...that is if Dell wont move the ship date again. :happy: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/286081-dell-laptop/page/2/#findComment-585491151 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you do, enjoy! 585493728[/snapback] You have to be careful with these codes because depending on how high you go you will find that the 34% off will eventually give you more savings than $600.00 off the 6000. I saved over $900.00 with the 34% off, then an additional $200.00 from my education discount.

You may also call up Higher Education Sales Dept. Signing up for a 3 or 4 year service contract will yield you an additional 12% discount. 1 or 2 years will yield you an additional 6% discount.

islanq Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I would say the Dell 6000 if you wanted something a little bigger and powerful, if you are going for maximum battery life and light weight I would get the 700M.

islanq Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Well seeing as how both the Dell 6000 and 700M are based of the centrino chipset it's really up to wether you want a big screen (6000) or a smaller screen + lighter weight (700M).
