Hi,
Im new to notebooks but am interested in Dells 6400. On Dells (malaysia) website, it says the price Inspiron 6400 is rm2599/- Price incl. RM400 Instant Cash Redemption and FREE Delivery Does that mean I only have to pay RM 2599/- minus RM 400/- (ie RM 2199) ? Am I right? Thanks |

Thanks no dude.. its price that is stated. the rm400 is already deducted.. that means the total cost would be rm2599.. |

QUOTE(minghao @ May 4 2007, 08:58 PM) I think can..but dell doesn't provide X1600 for 6400. And this is mainly because of the cooling system in the laptop. Not suitable for x1600. |
