<p>Should I wait until I get there to see the deals and discounts they give, or should I just buy one in August before I come? Anyone know about the discounts UMD gives and when/what they are? Do they give them out before classes start?</p>
<p>I have certain laptops in mind to buy and have been searching. But my dad insists I wait until I get there.</p>
<p>The deals they give don't compare to the recent deals that Dell has been running.</p>

<p>Personally, I would go with upgrading the LCD for $29, and buy a 1GB SODIMM separately to throw into it. Depending on how much you travel with it, look into upgrading the battery.</p>
