Couldn't find a thread on this yet. From the front page:
The latest Dell Swarm offer (http://www.redflagdeals.com/click.php?id=42842&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dellswarm.com%2Fca%2Fswarm.ph p%3Fid%3D5-Studio-14z) is now live. If you haven't seen it before, the Dell Swarm is a new promotion where a desktop or notebook computer gets progressively cheaper as more people pledge to buy it. After 4 days, everyone who has committed can take advantage of the lowest available price. When the swarm ends, you will also be able the customize the base configuration as you see fit (ie. apply upgrades).
The system for this week is a nicely built Studio 14z laptop (http://www.redflagdeals.com/click.php?id=42842&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dellswarm.com%2Fca%2Fswarm.ph p%3Fid%3D5-Studio-14z). Here are the base specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium Edition SP1 64 Bit
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8600 (2.4GHz/1066Mhz FSB/3MB cache)
Microsoft Works 9
1 Year Limited Warranty w/1 Year Return To Depot Service
14.0” High Definition (720p) LED Display with TrueLife and Camera/Facial Recognition Software
3GB, DDR3, 1066MHZ, 1 SoDIMM
500GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
NVIDIA MCP79MX GeForce 9400M-G
56 Whr Lithium Ion Battery (6 cell)
Dell Wireless 1515 Wireless-N Mini-card
If 15 people commit, the final price price for this system drops to $979. The Studio 14z has a thinner and lighter design than the regular Studio laptops. With an 8-cell battery, the weight is reportedly around 4.5lbs. An in-depth review can be found at NotebookReview.com, where, among other things, they praise the display quality, surprisingly good speakers, and design.
An identically configured system is $1099 at Dell.ca right now (http://www.redflagdeals.com/click.php?id=42842&url=http%3A%2F%2Fclick.linksynergy.com%2Ffs-bin%2Fclick%3Fid%3DCAqD7bLWUPI%26subid%3D%26offeri d%3D170169.1%26type%3D10%26tmpid%3D1534%26u1%3Ddea ls%26RD_PARM1%3Dhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fconfigure .dell.com%25252Fdellstore%25252Fconfig.aspx%25253F oc%25253Dns14z_f_3e%252526c%25253Dca%252526l%25253 Den%252526s%25253Ddhs%252526cs%25253Dcadhs1%252526 kc%25253Dlaptop-studio-14z) (and it's already a sale price).
