^^hmm got it. Dell always has such kinda problems. You can configure your same system from different links and different ways and can get as many as 10 different prices. LOL. Exploit it to your benefit .

[scarecrow1981]

has anybody had any experience with their lappy being shipped with the wrong cpu. For me, they sent the t7250 instead of the t7300. now they say that i have to wait for the laptop to be delivered and then ask for a replacement. so, its gonna take me 1-1 1/2 months to finally get it.

any other options left for me? please lemme know......

Yes, you will have to wait. I was told that when they have the right laptop ready with them, they will ship it to you. And only then, you have to pack the old laptop and send it over to them at their office. That ensures you don't have any downtimes. Plus the shipping charges are borne by them entirely. Contact the Dell representatives for the confirmation. But, yeah you would surely have to wait that long. Are you happy with T7250? You could always ask for refund (on the price difference). See what they have to say about it, considering they have to go through a lot of pains, they may throw a good deal at you.

Thanx.

They arent ready for a refund. They say that they will give me freebees, namely software and stuff. But I already have legal copies of office/antivirus. So they said that the only thing thay can do is replace it. The lappy hasnt even crossed customs. im trying to tell them to send it back at this stage itself. but they dont listen.

The reason why they show different prices is because you can configure your laptop from different base configuration and you cannot downgrade any of them....

So I think it is better ppl try out the configuration from both the links and choose the best priced one.... My 66k 1520 config was priced at 70k when I choose the another link with a lower base config...

Hi,
I have cancelled the order of my 1520 for Rs.65000 today which I placed on 7th nov. reason is I m getting the same config at 60K now. Will be placing the new order soon.

 

[ravi_9793]

^^^^^^^^
congrats..you have saved RS. 5K

 

[~Phenom~]

yeah , But had to wait another 25-30 days to get my lappy.
Also, will have to have to wait 20 days to get my money back. So, It feels both sad and good for same thing.

I pray you get ur dream lappy soon.You have taken enough time to make final decision...n posted so many times about ur dream lappy.

 

[awestriker]

Hi Phenom,
so wuts is the final Inspiron 1520 config you went for...
Can you please post it?

 

[~Phenom~]

@ravi_9793, yeah I know I have posted 986987884750 number of times on this forum for my queries about Dell 1520. hehe. But thats because I have never worked on any lappy before and was not knowing anything about them. And I waited so long because I was not in immediate need of it, hence waited to get reduced prices. and it has paid well. My config when i began hunting for it , was costing 74000 on dell website but now i got the same in 60000 but had to wait 2 months but i think it was worth it.
My config is :
Intel T7250
Vista home premium
Nvidia 256 MB
2 GB RAM
Midnight blue
3 year complete cover
9 cell battery

I apologize to all I have bothered while taking my decision to buy this lappy.
