Dell is having cool offers on this Christmas. This Dell Vostro 3500 has very good specs and has $300 cash off. Specs are as follows

Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic SP2 32 bit Edition (English)
Microsoft(R) Office Starter 2010
15.6” High Definition (1366 x 768) Wide LED Anti-Glare Display
4GB (2X2G) DDR3-1066MHz SDRAM, 2 DIMM

The only problem is the operating system: Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic SP2 32 bit Edition (English). but i think it is still a good deal if you have your own windows 7 already.

  • busterau on 06/12/2010 - 10:04

    eww vista! and intergrated video :O

    Integrated video seems like a bottleneck for the CPU. Otherwise a good deal for an i5 system!

  • alo1234 on 06/12/2010 - 10:22

    U can have win 7 pro for an extra 70 bucks. Which is not bad.
    Wish they let u upgrade the vga card tho.
    Neat laptop for those who dont do heavy gaming.

    • letmecry on 06/12/2010 - 17:30

      Vista is suck. I'd rather get XP.
      $70 for Win7 might be a good idea.

    i wish i can drop the windows for extra discount of $100 !
    why would you pay for windows.. its free "out there"

      out there = stealing

      Good reason to pay for it, if you ask me!

      • cwongtech on 07/12/2010 - 13:25

        Yeah! Let's all ride some horses with ethics!
        I don't steal a.k.a. pirate things such as Operating systems, it's simply too risky [Windows activator loaders work but they are RIDDLED with keyloggers and viruses, you don't know because you activated your windows illegitimately prior to installing AV], but I do pirate ridiculously expensive software such as Photoshop (Come on, who doesn't?), with the price tag of 699 USD, adobe can go eff themselves!
        I wouldn't buy this laptop, Vista? Seriously? I thought windows 7 is a standard now, or you can downgrade to XP (good ol' xp).
        Windows Vista and integrated graphics is a huge dealbreaker. 320GB HDD is also a little small..

  • ccj5124 on 06/12/2010 - 13:20

    is there any coupon that can drop the price a bit more?

    • 1bug on 06/12/2010 - 13:22

      You cannot use coupons with Cash Off/%Off Sale items.

    • twisti on 06/12/2010 - 13:24

      lol was just about to ask that question!

      There is also a i3 system for $598. Not much diff between the i3 and i5, just the turbo boost functionality which you probably won't use much with this type of laptop anyway (no dedicated graphics).

    • scotty on 06/12/2010 - 14:04

      You can use MoneyBackCo to get the commission back as discount.

      Thanks. Was going to come to OzBargain to post this but found it has already been posted. Saved me from being marked as duplicate :)

      This deal from 2 months ago is actually better IMHO but this one is not bad either. We shall see more Dell deals before/after Christmas :)

  • dirtybird on 06/12/2010 - 18:15

    I bought a Vostro 3500 (same specs as this deal) last week with Fast Track delivery, 2yr Pro Support and Win7 64bit, $914.50.

    If I change the current deal to the same specs, less the 48hr delivery, it comes to $827.70

    Nice deal.

    Pretty good machines and I have had to purchase a few of them over the last 6mths.
    Two have had hard drives fail in them, Toshiba drives.

    • ccj5124 on 07/12/2010 - 10:24

      "Two have had hard drives fail in them, Toshiba drives."
      that is not good.

    • cwongtech on 07/12/2010 - 13:26

      Toshiba makes their own hard drives?
      My sis had an a200 satellite and it had a hitachi [that failed] in it.

    By the time you add say $200 for upgrades for O/S, video and drive upgrade (500Gb is pretty standard these days) this looks pretty ordinary.

    e.g. https://www.mln.com.au/product/?itemID=320&typeID=23 or

    https://www.mln.com.au/product/?itemID=895&typeID=23 or

    • Utopian on 09/12/2010 - 17:21

      New to computers? For the price, this has more specs than a normal user needs right now, enough to last them several years of newb misuse. Even an i3 with 2GB RAM is great.

      What good are "oh, but you could add this" posts?? So why buy a Commdore, when you can have a BMW, but they're ordinary too, 'cos there are Porsche, oh and don't forget Ferarri. Nah, they're all ordinary compared to a Bugatti Veyron, right?

      /facepalm
