Dell Days are back!
 

I know, I know...

But some of those deals are very good value for the road warriors...

Anyway, today June 4th the deals are...

SLING MEDIA SlingBox Pro 199$ (299$)

MOTOROLA P790 Portable Power Battery Pack 39$ (54$)

ALURATEK* 500GB External USB Hard Drive 149$ (239$)

$199 for a slingbox is a pretty good deal :)

Actually bought the 120GB portable USB HD for 99$...

June 5th Deals
 

DELL UltraSharp 2007WFP 20.1-inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD Monitor 299$ (399$)

MICROSOFT Wireless Optical Desktop 700 Keyboard 29$ (39$)

SANYO DECT 6.0 Digital Cordless Touch-Keypad Telephone w/ CID and Speakerphone 59$ (99$)

Anyone knows of the Sanyo Dect phone? I'm looking at buying a hands free phone, and also need an answering machine and it seems that the Sanyo phone might be the solution, but just need your comments on that unit...

Thanks!

June 6th Deals
 

SANYO Xacti VPC-CA6 Weatherproof Digital Movie Camera 299$ (499$)

LEXMARK E450dn Monochrome Laser Printer w/ Networking and Duplex Capability 299$ (499$)

CREATIVE LABS Live! Cam Optia Webcam 49$ (89$)

The printer bargain is less than you might think it is from Dell's words. A little googling turned up a $350 coupon at many dealers, not including Dell. So it could come out to about $210 US.

June 7th Deals
 

CANON/SANYO Powershot A640 10MP Digital Camera & Eneloop ESCAA4 Battery Charger & 4 x AA Rechargeable Batteries 349$ (488$)

ENERGIZER 8 x AA Rechargeable Batteries 19$ (39$)

MICROSOFT/ LOGITECH DriveFX Racing Wheel for Xbox 360 & Forza 2 89$ (168$)

So far, nothing to be really excited about...:td:

Well this is useful information and given the number of times a Dell thread has appeared over the past few years, and the number of replies, I'd say a lot of people appreciate it. However, it puzzles me when I remember how offended some people were that we would dare to discuss Porter Airlines on an AC board and how Randy had to intervene and merge various threads, yet it's OK to talk about something that has absolutely nothing to do with Air Canada or even flying. It seems like there are different rules for different posters.

Dammit I was looking to purchase the Canon A640 the other day but went with a different (and better, IMO) model instead. Too bad this didn't come out a week ago!!

Well if you whine and cry loud enough someone's bound to hear it. :rolleyes:

That is why the Thread Title is beginning with OT. Stands for Off-Topics, but of interest to Canadians, as the deals are from Dell Canada. You'll also find other thread in the AC forum that talks about Hockey, but all those other threads always starts with OT.

June 8th Deals...
 

KINGSTON 2GB Ultimate SD Card 19$ (79$)

ASUS A632N Personal Digital Assistant & Mobile GPS Navigator 329$ (499$)

BELKIN 12-Outlet Surge Protector 19$ (39$)

Thanks Super Larry, I knew that ;) But - the Porter thread also begins with OT and if you followed it, you'll remember some people were really quite bent out of shape that we would discuss Porter on an AC board, even though the main topic of discussion was the impact on Air Canada.

Who cares?

Also, thanks OP! I actually bought the 20" monitor...it will be quite the upgrade from 15".

I hope you guys are all going through www.AirMilesShops.ca to earn AirMiles on your Dell purchases.

=aw

Just went to buy the 2GB SD card but it's already sold out. :(

=aw

At least a topic on Dell has the quality of not igniting a fire...discussions on an airline in a forum dedicated to another airline is always dicey...

me too, logged on at 8:00am PST and already gone.

Most specialty computer stores sell the same SD card for the same or less.

I've been looking around and haven't found anything that cheap, not even online in the US. Any pointers appreciated!

=aw

Well I guess you do since you took the time to respond. Thank you!

Well, I'm not from Ottawa, but here's a link to a shop that has weekly specials on a whole bunch of computer stuff. This shop is very well regarded in Vancouver. The link is ther latest special.

http://www.ncix.com/promo/promosale....=presummer2007

They currently have the Corsair Hi-speed (133X) 2GB SD card for $25.

Maybe a local Ottawa store will do a price match?

Thanks for the link.

Actually the Corsair is out of stock and taking orders for $65 (-$5 MIR).

When I clicked a couple of minutes ago they had a slow Kingston card for $18 but I couldn't find shipping cost anywhere (except $10 express shipping) and now the Kingston card is $30 again, plus shipping which I still can't find.

BTW, Dell actually still has the card for $19.99 shipped, it's on a 5-7 day shipping schedule. It's on the Hot Deals pages. Some of the other Deals are there too, though Slingbox Pro (the other one I saw) is $249 not $199.

=aw

For shipping, you'll have to Check-Out and there are different options. Just go all the way short of the final confirmation.

I didn't realize the Dell deals included shipping...

thanks ALW, just checked and found a Kingston 2GB SD for $19.00 shipped - think it's a lot slower than the Kingston SD Ultimate card they were selling but ordered one anyway as it should be fast enough for camera.

Yeah when they don't say I have to assume it's slow. :)

I want one for playing .wmv files (movies) on my PDA and the no-speed-listed 1GB cards I have aren't fast enough. :(

June 14th deals
 

Motorola H550 Bluetooth Headset 49$ (79$)

1500 VA UPS with 8 outlets 199$ (699$)

Dell Laser Printer 1110 59$ (139$)

The UPS is a fantastic price (it is made by APC and would usually retail > $400 at least), and the printer is a decent model for that price, too. You can almost afford to buy one, and then toss it when the toner's empty. :D

That sure would be an expensive toner cartridge replacement. :D

The replacement toner itself lists for $85! (albeit that the printer only comes with a starter "half-toner")

Does anyone know what brand/OEM the Dell printer is? I need one so may get one.

Or for those who don't collect AirYards, AirFeet or AirInches, try ebates or fatwallet for 1% back. For those going to ebates, send me PM as there's a referral bonus.

FWIW
"Several of the company’s printers are manufactured by Lexmark and the design and shape of the Dell Laser 1110 suggests this entry-level laser is one of them." (review from web site - computeractive.co.uk)

I wondered that about the printer too, but it's only 1K pages or 6c/page. Too much for a disposable (though ok if you wnat the printer).

=aw

Ack, and I bought it (pretty much as a disposable). Maybe I should cancel. What a decent BW laser printer to buy these days?

Well... you can buy toner refill kits with fuses for < $20, or you can buy a no-name cartridge for < $40 (3500 pages) so it's not really that bad....
