Subject: [MSUNAG] dell education pricing vs home/small bus
Hello
I'm starting to look at prices for possible next year purchases, and I
wonder if this is right. For example, I'm pricing out a laptop
(Inspiron 700m). Configured exactly the same (including warranties and
such):
Cstore pricing through Dell link: $1619.90
Home: $1388
Small Business: $1212
Higher Education through Dell.com: $1593.64
The only difference between the laptops configured is the price (and
perhaps one or two minor differences that you can't configure out of the
quotes). I'm feeling slighted.
How are people purchasing equipment these days (Through the computer
store, etc)? Is there anything you can do as a purchaser in a
department to get better pricing? $407 is a significant chunk of change
for 1 piece of equipment.
