Moving from Apple back to PC Laptop

Dell Latitude E6250: $2305 / $1520 after web discount. (I don't know how often those are applicable: clearly, plan ahead and be patient.)

They are always applicable. Dell has a pricing model like a pizza joint. All of their MSRPs are balanced around there being a significant "discount" applied. Just don't be the guy caught paying their listed 'market value'. Also don't pay for any sort of expansion if you can help it, you will get jacked on that sort of stuff.

Duly noted. I've come across that as well in building systems there. They seem like a great price.. but a little extra memory, upgrade the graphics card a little... a little bit here and there, and it's almost twice as expensive!
