I just bought my first computer. A laptop called a Dell Inspiron 600m with upgrades for almost 45% off.

But this Slick Deal is only for today. It ends on Wednesday morning at 5:59:59 A.M. EST.

It is not the percentage of 45% that is the Slick Deal. It is getting an instant discount of $750.00 on select Dell Inspiron laptops that show on the invoice of greater than $1500.00. Plus a mail in rebate of $49.00 to get free shipping.

I have never owned a computer. I have always used a WebTV for my internet access. WebTV does not use a mouse and does not use Windows. I use the up and down arrows and the back button.

It took me forever to figure out to get the right Dell Inspiron laptop and upgrades for me so that the price reached greater than $1500.00.

Everytime I thought that I had it right, the Dell website kept wanting to give me a 15% discount after all my choices which altomatically put the price below $1500.00 and the code for $750.00 wouldn't work.

What did I finally figure out?

I finally choose an option that would give me a price greater than $1500.00 after the 15% discount.

Then before I finalized my order in my cart, I applyed the $750.00 instant discount code of "ZD5$P0NS954P16" . This erased the smaller 15% discount and added the $750.00 instant discount.

Then I updated my upgrades to decrease the price by a little less than 15% so the laptop cost just over $1500.00.

This kept the $750.00 instant discount and did not replace it with the 15% discount.

I still was able to apply for the $49.00 shipping mail in rebate.

So technically...if you could do what I did and price a Dell Inspiron laptop for as little as $1500.01. you could get an instant discount of $750.00 for a final price before taxes(if your state must tax) for a subtotal of $749.99. Then subtracting the mail in rebate of $49.00, your final price could end up for $699.99 for a $1500.00 laptop.

That's just about a 50% discount.

So it is not the percentage off.

It is ordering a laptop greater than $1500.00 and receiving $750.00 instant discount and a $49.00 MIR.

You can use the code ZD5$P0NS954P16 yourself, but I would strongly suggest that you go to www.slickdeals.net and read all the comments that others have asked and answered.

Or you can do what I did above.

Good luck and good night.

Hi Ray!!! Glad you got a great deal!!! Welcome to the world of computing!!!
 
RAY!!!

You are moving to a PC. I don't know about this! LOL! You are THE expert on WebTV.

I passed your info on to a friend so thanks. (I have the office laptop so until they fire me I am all set.)
 
Wish I had have read this earlier--by the time I tried they had limited the discount on all of the laptops so I couldn't use it.

Thanks for posting though Ray--I sure would have loved to have been able to get that deal (especially since I need a new laptop.)

You got a great deal on this laptop, Ray. I have a Dell Inspiron laptop and paid full price for it a few years ago. I take it everywhere with me. You will love it. Bring it on your next trip to WDW and keep us updated on the magic!!

Me, Too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried, but they had cutoff the promotion.
SueEllen, Muffy, maybe you two could give us laptop newbies some tips-lessons on what we should be looking for in a latop. Have two desktops and want to laptop to take off. Could look at DVD's on 12-13 hour trip to Disney and download pictures from my Olympus XD card. Probably use at home to stay in family room and still be online, etc.

Any suggestions? ::yes:: :hyper: :flower1:
 
Congratulations Ray! It was a great deal and the first time they've ever done something this extreme! Today there is a similar deal for a desktop model. The response was so overwhelming they had no idea it would be such a huge take. My dh is a salesman for Dell and they are all in shock over it!.
