$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

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.
