Deal of the Week – Dell Inspiron 15 for $539.95

Laptop Pimp — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 20:37:00 +0000

Personally, I am a big fan of Dell Inspiron laptops as they are so cheap and haven’t failed me so far. I already own two Dell 1525 laptops I bought last year. After searching for a good deal on a 15″ laptop, I finally found a ready-to-ship Dell Inspiron 15 laptop for $539.95 on Amazon. This is much cheaper than Dell.com site itself, I believe it’s because these have slightly slower CPUs than the ones Dell.com is right now selling. These are the good deals you can take advantage of, especially since there’s not much noticeable difference in the slightly slower CPU. If you were to get it on Dell.com, you’d have to get a Celeron CPU, which would really suck. Anyways, I am ordering one right now to do a video review and since I am always in need of new laptops. P.S. Are you kidding me? The new Inspiron 15 with dual-core Intel processor for $539.95?
