I bought one of these. - save $200 by opting for Ubuntu rather that Windows 10 Pro! Okay, I admit it: I only saved $100 by not selecting Windows 10 Home. - very small: limited expansion and performance. - business class (well built, stodgy, well supported (3 yr. warranty)) It is a real adventure game finding and stacking all the discounts. Well described in the article. Read the whole thing, but 95% is in the first page. - Join Rakuten Canada (formerly called ebates) and go through their site to get 8% cash back on Dell for Business purchases (don't be fooled by the more prominent 2% regular Dell cash back offer). - join the Dell mailing list for a one-time 10% discount code. If you are on the mailing list already, it appears you can join again with the "+" in the username trick (i.e. mail to [email protected] should go to [email protected]) - the article lists a stackable $50 off coupon Configuring the system is interesting. Key: choose a cheap HDD and add a third-party NVMe SSD drive after you get the machine. Choose 8G single-stick of RAM. Add more after you get the machine (one SODIMM slot will be empty). I chose an Intel WiFi/BlueTooth card. That gets the chassis wired for an antenna. --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
