$1,747.97 for a laptop with a 1280x800 display? That sounds like quite a high price to me. I was also informed recently that the College of Education has had a lot of problems with Dell Latitude E6400 laptops. Lenovo sells a consumer model with similar specs for $449 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146706 <http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146706&nm_mc=EMC-I GNEFL032610&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL032610-_-EMC-032610-Index-_-Notebooks-_-3414670 6-L0A> &nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL032610&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL032610-_-EMC-032610-Index-_-Noteboo ks-_-34146706-L0A _____ From: l duynslager [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, March 26, 2010 1:14 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] FW: Please Match Price for E4300 Latitude This is a follow up to my email about Brian Ullestad and getting a quote for a system. The reason that he wasn't able to match prices was because the system I requested a price matching quote on was a fast track system (I didn't recognize that or even know what fast track was) Fast track systems are evidently preconfigured so they ship out earlier and you get them in a couple of days after ordering. Right now Dell doesn't offer fast track to education, but I believe it will soon. That's why he was unable to quote it. So the problem wasn't that Brian was unwilling to match my quote, after I sent out the email to the list I requested a price match again and told him I didn't care if the computer was fast track or not, Brian matched and even beat the price I was trying to get. Brian has always been willing to work with me and match prices to make sure that MSU gets a great deal. Thanks to everybody who responded with quotes, I've attached the quote he provided me.
