Dell Days of Deals, Day 5: International Travel Plug Adapter $15 & More

Z-5500's were already "on sale" last Friday or something so there's pretty much no chance that we'll see them again this DoD.

I love the negativity in this thread.... A couple bad days worth of deals and suddenly all DoD's suck. :rolleyes:

[HunterSlayer]

Well the weekend was really poor, lets hope they have a huge list to make up for it today. I'm still waiting on that slim MP3 player, c'mon Dell, don't disappoint me again!

HDRSR12 is a good price.

Any comments on the USB HDD?

[Happy13178]

That's the cheapest I've ever seen that Sony Camcorder. Even with FS's customer appreciation sale, the model below this is still the same price. If they'd only done the one I wanted.... :p

I purchased 2 of these(mine came with USB adapter as well) for an 8 months trip in Europe. These are by far the best and most useful gadget I had. I used them to charge my phone(e61 at that time), iPod, digital camera batteries or simply to use with my laptop. I've actually dropped them several times, they are still working great. If you can get the USB version(sameas the one on sale but with the extra adapter, get it.
I still use them today, they are a bit bulky, but they work as advertised!

thnaks for the review

[hempopotamus]

It's pretty handy dandy. Bought one of these a couple of years ago for a trip to Ethiopia. It allowed me to plug everything in that I needed. My version at home was also able to charge via USB. I don't see it in this description. I bought myself another however as we are heading back to Ethiopia this Winter / Spring.

FYI: The version sold here is the Kensington 33117 model which is just the travel adapter that's on sale for $14.99 today.

The travel adapter that comes with the USB charger is listed under model number 33346 (http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/Power/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&cs=cadhs1&sku=A0655674). Dell also stocks this but, it's not on sale today.

The only difference I see between the Mini "deal" and what is regularly available is the Belkin UMPC sleeve ($30 accessory on the Dell site) thrown in. I don't see where the supposed other $20 of savings claimed comes from...

IMO, the (expired) Mini 9 deal on Cyber Monday was better.

Any thoughts on the 19" monitor? I couldn't find any good reviews on it.

I did see that the US ppl can get this monitor for $119-$125 when it goes on sale.

Maybe better to hold out for some boxing day sale on a 22" for just a bit more?

[najibs]

so far, these dell days of deals are the worst ever. Heck, even factorydirect prob has better deals right now :lol:

This is correct, I was simply referring to the USB version since it's that version I bought for 19.99 during the 2006 holiday days of dell. It doesn't Mather what connector you use ac/USB this unit is great! I would order more but the 2 I have are still going strong!

[someguy91]

Does anyone know if that adapter converts 220v to 110v as well? Or if it's just a "plug adapter"?

[T3rry]

for anybody looking at the power adapter, click the picture

It's only $11.39 EVERYDAY at DX

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2707 (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2707)

By no means is this a converter. You need a voltage up converter to get 220v to work in 110v, unless the adapter that comes with eletronic apparel does it(laptop ac, camera battery charger, etc).
As an example I brought back a coffe machine from Europe(220v), the little bugger is 1260watts, in order to get it to work I need a voltage converter that costs 80$, is as big as the coffee machine and weights 27lbs.

So no this will not convert voltage, but it will accept ac adaptors that already do it.

How's your Amharic?

I could so go for some Injeerah right now :)..mmmmmmmmm

[golden]

Don't think the DX deal is anywhere close to the Belkin. DX stuffs are cheap but so is the build quality. I rather spend a few more bucks.

Just to share my experience. I bought a $5 adapter for Europe and when I got there, the metal legs are somehow not fitting the outlet well and I had so much headache with it. If you can afford to travel, spend a few more $, you won't regret it.

That's fine if your device is rated for the different locations' electrical systems (e.g., most shavers, Apple computers etc. are fine). That is, if there is an internal conversion systems at the ready.

If not, you may do some damage.

does the Kensington one convert the voltage? i don't think it does. plus most notebook and cell phone adapters support 100-240V. neither will work with a NA coffee maker, though if it does it would brew mighty fast

[IronMac]

I don't think the Kensington is a converter...that being said, I did order one. :)

well i pulled the trigger for the 19" display. I needed it for business use since recently my 15" lcd decided to konk out.

In terms of pricing, the 19" (with respect to similar specs) is still cheaper than most other 19" displays at CC and Infonec. The closest I've found is the Acer X193WB (maybe they both share the same TN panel?). Having already purchased a 24" and 27" dell through previous dell days of deals, i've been pretty happy with their monitors and I guess have become biased :P

[adamm]

these are awful deals... who the hell wants to buy a draft N router... and TRENDnet of all brands?!? Whats up with dell?? I hope they're holding out till the last couple of days with really good sh*t!

... $60 is pretty much all an external 160gb drive is worth now... I just bought a western digital 640gb external from costco about a month ago for $112 (dont think that sale is on anymore, but just to give you an idea, it isn't too far off normal price). That's 4 times the size for less than double the price.

Check Costco, Canada Computer, TigerDirect or DirectCanada for larger externals for about $100. If you only want to spend $60, go for the one at dell.

ugh these dell deals SUCKKK!!!! :mad:

I looked at some reviews for this ClickFree drive. It seems the name ClickFree is deceiving, the hard drive does not do auto schedule backup but requires you to manually activate it. I passed after finding that out... not click free.

Went to buy the wireless router....looks like it's disappeared off the Dell Days page. As in, it's not list as being OOS, it's not listed on the page anymore at all.

I had a Trendnet G router, and it was really good.....at crashing my computer. Maybe they got the bugs out, but they don't have a very good rep.

I have one of the clickfree drives (they are a client of my company's) and love it for it's simplicity. It is different from a typical external drive in that the software is on the device so you just plug it in and it automatically searches for and backs up all of your photos, music, office docs, etc. without having to install or configure any software. Maybe not ideal for hard core computer geeks, but it's great for people who don't back up because they find it too much of a hassle. Picked up a couple from Dell for gifts for my dad and brother.

what happened to the price of the Sony HD cam? the discount is gone! :cry::mad:

[Shadowpaw]

The discount for the HDRSR12 is back again... not sure what happened to it, as it was missing for several hours but it's back to $899.99.

[jazzzjackrabbit]

wow dell you might wanna put deals on stuff people actually BUY!...

[Blood_Lust]

Did they just put that back in after I spoke to one of their CSR? haha. he told me it's sold out so regular price was back. I asked, why it's still in the deal section when it's sold out? . then i left the chat page.

[lpsaad]

Maybe they are keeping the best deals for the last

[Terrific_Deals2k8]

Decent deals on the Dell S199WFP (cheaper than the Samsung 19" deal for $175 @ stooples a couple days ago). The Sony HDRSR12 (120GB + 5mpx digi cam + HD Camcorder) is a good deal for $899.99, this unit hasn't dropped much in price for quite some time because I've been following it for a while now, haha. And the 'clickfree' drive seems interesting... $59.99 for a 160GB 2.5" HDD isn't too bad -- I'd say it's a warm deal ;) :cheesygri

[Blood_Lust]

hah.. Dell is watching. :mad: pulled down the Sony HD Cam. I was still doing some research about it before i buy it and they pulled it down. good for me, I saved my money. hah!

got the travel adapter. Going to Europe, and considering all the standards (UK, FR, rest of Europe), this thing would come handy.

Now looking at those deals makes me hate myself not buying it.

What a big pussy am I.

:(

My hopes are for some descend deals in the coming days or i'm buying my stuff at FS or other e-tailer.
