<p>Well, you can doubt it all you want quirkily, but it’s true.</p>
<p>i built the dell computer, the 14" on dell’s website, and included the warranty and the software that Princeton gives you and it cost $1900. I built the same configuration in every other major laptop brand and they are all almost $2000. Just the warranty and the Microsoft Office Business that they give you cost $600 to $800 with any manufacturer. It looks like you save a ton of money</p>
<p>for any of you who have already ordered from sci,</p>
<p>did you get a confirmation e-mail for your order?</p>
<p>bump… [10 chars]</p>

<p>From the Thank You page after ordering:</p>

<p>I printed/saved a copy of the Thank You page just in case.</p>
<p>Hey guys, as indecisive as I am, I still havent gotten my laptop for this year yet. What are your opinions about the Dell Latitude d820? I was planning on getting an Inspiron e1505 (if i decided against a Mac). Do any computer techies out there know whether thats a better/worse deal? Thanks :)</p>
<p>I got my D820 from SCI. It’s very nice (512MB video card O_O!).</p>
<p>I configured the same thing right from the Dell site including warranty and software and got something like $2300 or so?</p>
<p>It weighs 6lbs but that isn’t too bad.</p>
<p>The only thing that surprised me was how… wide it was. My gosh that thing has a HUGE monitor.</p>
<p>Funny story though, because I wanted to upgrade my memory to 2GB (only cost $173.99 at Fry’s :D), I was unscrewing the keyboard and accidentally dropped a screw into the notebook and got it stuck O_o. I had to disassemble the whole thing just to get a screw out and then put it back together. At least I know how to disassemble it now! 
Plus, 2GB of memory is verrryy nice.</p>
