I can attest to the veracity of the above claims. It's been almost 2 years since I had a ppc. I can't wait for one with vga! Of note, you get an extra battery (1100- not extended), 2 year warranty, and a cd for wm 05. Not too bad for $281.33 total. :D I had to pay tax since I live in Minnesota. :(

Unfortunately, the deal ends today. Who knows what's in store in the future?

There is an old saying... "If it sounds too good to be true - it probably isn't". I do know that occasionally outrageous things happen so I might change the saying to "If it sounds too good to be true - it has to vanish very quickly". The deal you describe is incredible. You're dealing directly with Dell and getting this deal ??!!!?? If so you are golden - and among the luckiest guys on the planet. Otherwise - let us know when you get delivery. Congratulations!

direct from dell of course =)

I watch posts at techbargains.com (http://www.techbargains.com), Fatwallet's Deal Forum (http://www.fatwallet.com/c/18), and the Hot Deal forum at anandtech.com (http://forums.anandtech.com/categories.aspx?catid=40&entercat=y). You'll not see deals like this every week for sure, but when they do happen, these sites are good places to keep on top of them.

I take it this deal is dead?

[kaitanium]

[AndyD]

knowing Dell, it will be back again. i expect crazy deals again around there fiscal year end again so there revenue numbers are inflated. i can wait :)

[kaitanium]

these prices are worth waiting for =P. i waited 9 months =P

i may sound like a spoiled brat here but 9 months without a ppc was like torture! hehe
