<p>how many coupons can you use? how do i know if im getting the best deal possible?</p>
<p>i did a test run on making my laptop on their web site and a pretty souped up E1505 that costs $1950 i was able to get down to $1,500. there was a discount for like 250 bucks for the model i chose and then i used a coupon through my university that lowers the price by 12%.....is this good or could i do better? i heard people talking about a 30% discount...where do i find that? im new to this so i don't really know how to go about finding all these coupons i hear people talking about.</p>
<p>any help would be appreciated...sorry if i'm just not looking hard enough but i really don't know where to look to find the 30% off coupons!</p>
<p>30% off coupons get released every few weeks. If you don't absolutely need to buy our laptop now you should probably wait until another one of those come out. Check one of those bargain sites every Friday; I use dealnews.com.</p>
<p>8RFC872MLWV108. Use this code online before the 24th and you'll save 20%. I couldn't find a 30% deal. I Googled "Dell coupons".</p>
<p>Also check techbargains.com</p>
<p>thx for the info to everyone who respondded....and can you use more then one coupon? like could i use the 12% off i get for buying it through my school and then use the 20% coupon mentioned above?</p>
<p>(how do i know if im getting the best deal?</p>

<p>$1,637 a good deal or not?</p>
<p>i just went through my schools "personal purchase" page which gets 12% off, then i went to a preconfigured "recommended laptop" that says "featured at $1,903/cut down to $1,199" (how does this work? is this a special deal or are they just making it sound like a good deal when it really isnt?) and then i customized it a little and it ended at $1,637. I don't see any place to enter any coupons, so I'm assuming since there were already discounts i can't add anymore coupons? is this a good deal?</p>
