Laptop help

[KingDan]

About to order a laptop for college.

Anyone who finds a way to get me a good deal, I'll throw some money your way. Minimum of 25% of what I save will be shipped out.
Sony Vaio

I know dells suck, but they're having a crazy deal for like one day only. Basically 5-hundos for a computer before tax and everything and after rebates:

I was thinking about getting one myself, but it's my last year and i might as well use the one I have for the remainder.

It just seems to be the general opinion, I'm fine with mine, but a lot of people think they suck, should have clarified, sorry.

I bought the dell inspiron 1705 last year and have had tons of problems with it.

FWIW I was planning on getting 2 laptops, one for travel/taking to class etc and gonna get a second beast one for poker/serious work

edit: if anyone picks out a good small (13-15 inch) laptop for travel/class for a decent price I'll also ship you some money.

$150 off sonystyle store for getting their credit card

Personally, since I don't need a lappy, I'd use it on the PS3 to bring it down to $350 + ship. The card itself seems to have minimal rewards, so just get it, shop with it once, and drop it so you can get it again when another promo comes up. Instant approval and you should be able to get all of the information to make the purchase off the chase website.

Oh, the card supposedly gives 8 points per dollar spent, which should be another $150 in savings.

Combine with fatcash 3% (fatwallet's rakeback program) - $56

Total savings - $356 or 19%

what kind of problems you have w/ it Dan? i'm also looking for a new laptop, needs to be 1600x1200 or better and basically something that is fast and won't give me alot of problems. would like to get it as cheap as possible but that isn't my main concern. i'd rather get something that isn't a POS and that i like.

I got my laptop and TV through www.fatwallet.com. They seem to find the best deals online or at B&M. I don't see anything on there now for the Sony Vaio but if you keep checking back, they might have a good deal.

Don't get why there is so much hate on Dell's?
