Excellent

[sister6]

My husband told be that the 64GB Samsung RBX S2 Solid State Drive is one feature that he believes out shines the competition.
I will take his word for it.

[aapocketz]

SSD = awesome, in for 1.

[NAHLA]

SSD rules - would love to win this

[cpeiffler]

SSD. So beautiful and with 64gb plentiful. Thank you Dell/Deals

[bjrussell2]

I would love to own the Dell E6500 laptop because of its versatility and ease of use. It easily surpasses other laptops.

[SmallBudget]

Dell has great quality, is affordable, realiable and local

[doomed47]

ITS DELL and ssd awesome

[sergiothatguy]

Why is the dell better? Not only does it have a 64bit processor, but it also has a SSD drive, wireless n, and mobile broadband built right in. Oh and the backlit keyboard is always a nice touch.

[m4jesus39]

The feautures offered on the Latitude E6500 such as backlit keyboard, FIPS Fingerprint Reader and Dell Wireless 41012 Bluetooth® 2.1 with UWB just name a few set this one apart from the competition not to mention Dell has the best support in the industry.

[stingdgr8]

one of the best in computer industry!!!

[By3Times1Minus1]

Ssd Ftw!!!

[EcoDex]

My sister used the latitude at work. She let me play with it and I was surprise how sturdy it was. The specs on it outperform a lot of computer on the market. Since its a Latitude, I know the build quality is good. SSD Drive;)

[dragonxeric]

Ssd Ftw

[lynnocpa]

This is a great computer for the price! Lots of bells and whistles.

[brianxq3]

Mobile broadband is the future... gimme this :)

[TheOnlyWay2Buy]

The Dell Brand has come to mean strong construction, reliability, and durability.

[supertron]

dell's business line offers a no-nonsense solid machine that is very utilitarian, with functionality in mind. Great processor, RAM, rugged build quality along with SSD drives. It's a notebook designed for function!

[maxiimo009]

This laptop blows away all other laptops for over 9000 reasons.
It has a incredible display, rigid construction, all the goodies, kickin HD, and is just all around solid. Plus it a Dell!

[steven99]

Dell makes quality laptops. C2D, SSD, and discrete graphics what more can you ask for.

[alchaffee]

SSD rules! Dell is the best computer I've ever owned. Would love to be lucky enough to win this beauty!

[sabungeroko]

Powerful and packed with features you'll actually use!

[tsatchka]

I'm in. Love the SSD device on this laptop. Makes it highly desirable.

[sjracer25]

time to upgrade my 5 year old dell inspiron.
I love the video card and overall specs on this E6500. beats everything else!

[ssjgoku24]

Dell has almost always been at the top. This notebook not only has ssd but a quadro video card. Wow I can't believe my eyes it has a backlight keyboard! and mobile broadband. Holy.... I want this now!

[wdchamberlain]

I support an 800 user Dell shop. The E series laptops are really nice. Sure would like one of my own.

[jimr]

dells are the best machines on the market today. this particular laptop has all the latest features, with the g/n wireless, and the broadband built in. and the big SSD sounds so cool! this is the one I would buy if I could afford it.
jr

[izmir41500]

this is a nice laptop

[Jughead]

did I win yet :)

[OldTazMan]

I would sure like.

[Fynamo]

This notebook is all about high-performance productivity. With its Intel Core 2 Duo T9400, this notebook is not only one of the fastest on the market, it also has the ability to go for long hours while using little battery. The combination of a powerful NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M with the stellar 15.4" WUXGA 1080p-capable panel means that graphics will get rendered fast and in high resolution. It has wireless options galore with support for the very latest Wireless LAN "N" spec, as well as full Bluetooth capability. The backlit keyboard and webcam round out the package for a highly functional experience.

[killerbob05]

SSD? lol of course!

[freestuffff]

awesome deal!

[jongrreat]

In my mind, Dell has always been the leader in high quality computers. This Latitude is no exception. Together, the intel core 2 duo processor and 2gb of ram will make this one very fast laptop.

[ihjivani]

I used to buy cheap laptops from my local Fry's Electronics.

Then I tried a Latitude at a summer internship and the quality difference was unbelievable.

Main differences:
1) Amazing keyboard quality
2) Amazing NBD warranty service included
3) More sturdy/durable/built to last than any other laptop I have owned
4) Perfect metal/plastic casing for weight/durability.

Overall; latitudes dominate any competition.

[remigog]

Because of the SSD :)

[gullw7ng]

The laptop looks like a great replacement for the Dell XPS M1330 that just went out of warranty and no longer recognizes the power cord being plugged into it.

I enjoyed the 1330 but I am not looking forward to the repair cost for a system that required the motherboard to be replaced 1 month before the warranty ran out and then 2 months aftwerwards the power plug on the laptop not the cord stops working.

Let me try this one as a replacement and I will give you my opinion in the future with respects to longevity of a Dell system. Currently, I am 2 good ones to 1 bad for buying a laptop from Dell.

[ChristianM19]

I'm a poor college student with an aged laptop

[blondegril]

The Latitude E6500 is lightning fast, judging by those specs. The chip/SSD combo is going to blow the competition out of the water.

[LILLYS_CLOSET]

Reliability, affordability and EXCELENT customer service makes this Dell an industry leader

[subunesss]

This laptop is better than the rest because 1 its a dell, one of the reliable PC companies out there. 2 it has awesome specs. 3. It looks like a winner.

[blue42richman]

Dell beats the rest because of the SSD in the laptop. SSD is the future for long-term and speedy data storage.

[torgo]

Dell's outstanding quality and service makes this great laptop even more of a must have!

[bmwomnia]

Dell's outstanding quality and service makes this great laptop even more of a must have!

Let's win

[zethlyn]

The solid state drive is really cool!

[MadYe]

give me the shot! I love ssd!

[TheCatt]

Yay Dell! Just lost my job, this would come in handy.

[mikec123]

Dell is a great product and I just love the ease of use. The customer and tex support is the best. Ths is just what I need to make my life a Dream

[roseofsharon123]

Dell is the best!!!! It is a great computer as well as a great service. I could use this to make life better!!

[ajs]

The Latitude E6500 trumps the competition by offering quality components, excellent specifications, and a nice warranty that will probably never be used

[rextacy]

cuzz its fast

[mindreader1]

I am typing this on my third Dell Computer. They have all been trouble free. That is why the Dell Latitude E6500 would be a terrific laptop. A great company standing behind a cutting edge machine.

[skylighter]

It is more rugged of course

[ole_red79]

The Latitude E6500 is great because it has lots of cool features, like the backlit keyboard, fingerprint sensor, and an external SATA port.

[malakajw]

Does this really beats the competition??

[Kilgrave]

This Dell deal beats all of the other systems that I have reviewed and would be a great help to my online schooling needs. I have to travel for work and being able to continue my studies while traveling would be beyound helpful.

[Technosquid]

I like turtles

[desert_starr_57]

Dell is quality plain and simple.

[goldenox2009]

best brand name in computers

[jp1tx]

Dell's laptops are among the best. The E6500 with SSD would be fast.

[freebiehunter23]

Already have a dell and it is very good. Brand loyalty for me. Best value for price.

[metalynith]

Dell has been a reliable brand for me over the years. I've had nothing but good experiences with my desktop which is now at least 5 years old but does not seem "ancient" technology-wise. The customer service, when needed, has been easy and pleasant.

[tolu87]

Dell Latitude E6500 beats the competition because it has a 2.53 Core 2 duo T9400 processor with a SSD plus nothing beats a Dell!!

[pug_ster]

Here goes nothing.

[Gordo]

The quality and value of Dell computers are difficult to beat. I have owned many different Dell computers in the past and would not hesitate to buy another. With the addition of a solid-state drive, the E6500 is simply unsurpassed.

[Homercles]

Very reliable and I really like that they've gone to a simple but very clean matte black finish.

[kendogg]

SSD goodness

[dmtude]

As a long time Dell user, I have never been let down by their products or customer support. I am excited to try this new product that is innovative and very practical. This product will plug right into my life and make it easier.

[cezanne3000]

i'm the Dell dude

[sderc]

Sleek, professional business profile, elegant backlit keyboard. Fast, low power consumption SSD drive. Nvidia graphic card specialized in 3D rendering.

[sauravghosh]

I love Dell laptops, they work well with Ubuntu Linux, and the SSD on this baby is as big as my current laptops normal hard drive. That's gonna be awesome...

[churn]

64 GB; that is a MASSIVE ssd

[samuelmarble]

Nice SSD laptop. Hope I can win this!!! LOL

[lostinglamb]

ssd is anti-shock, dell desktop in my college lab is very easy to take apart

[HotDeals101]

The Dual Core E6500 and 64 SSD drive makes this DELL faster than any laptop around!!

[JayKaH]

Is it too late to sign up?

[HSS]

Latitude E6500 beats the competition due to its impressive build quality and its top notch features, ranging from powerful processors, highend graphics, and gorgeous sharp full 1920x1080 15" screen!!!

[MyFeetHurt]

Oh man I'd love to win this for my birthday this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Dell products!
Dell beats the competition because they are DELL

[Melzx21]

A quiet laptop, with an amazing backlight is PERFECT for when I need to pull an all-nighter while my fiance sleeps!

[culexor]

Would be awesome to win this. Good luck to all!

[zeroxlcwd]

I believe this beats the comp for its ssd. Also it has a 9 cell bat. Best this about it is that it is xp sp3 and not vista!

[beavens]

i need a laptop, and would love to randomly win this one!

[harukosama]

The E6500 has a great minimalist design (brushed metal hinges!), SSD, backlit keyboard, XP SP3, and a high resolution monitor. It is also decently powerful and great for graphics or processing. This comes all at a very reasonable price point, especially compared to its (likely) main competitors Lenovo and Apple.

[passedaway]

I go the e6400 and I'd like to get this because of the SSD!

[onimushu]

Most of Dell notebook products are much more reasonable than this one.
So there's something special about this laptop...
And yes there is!!!!
All the best features that you could possibly find. Must be a awesome piece of work!
That's why I want to be the WINNER...
yUp
It's me!

[Vilgrom]

A full-sized notebook with a 64GB SSD? It sure beats my Asus with a 4GB SSD and tiny keyboard.

[c88ms]

Thanks Dell & Slickdeals for doing this.

Dell is one of the best at making computers. I love their customer support and the product design. The one thing that I like Dell more than any other manufactures out is how they are affordable for consumers to buy. From the low end, netbook to the high end Alienware.

[sammyccc]

can't go wrong with Dell

[ajikan]

roar!

[pvaratkar]

Best of luck all
Latitude rocks with 64GB solid state drive thats real expensive.

[STi]

Latitude is very stylish business laptop. Looks attractive and has lots of power.

[KhaoZ]

Because Dell Rocks!

[imwangchung]

the latitude E6500 obviously beats other laptops because this one could be free.

[altan215]

How can this Dell laptop NOT beat the competition? Fast processor, fast SSD storage, grt video card and 9-cell battery! I could stay unplugged forever!

[volcomssj48]

thus Dell laptop beats the competition because it has a 64gb SSD, and cause its a dell.

[psenseny]

dell has the best laptops and the ability to easily customize through their web-site

[LaurenRenae]

I'm in. It beats the competition simply because it's Dell - it's fast and powerful... that's what she said :-)

[tnacraig88]

I do not know much about laptop, but the sticker price tell me it must be pretty awesome. I hope to get a chance to find out how awesome it truly is. T

[KnowledgeMania]

Nice looking + spec business laptop.

[kishsailu]

This is awesome laptop

[JohnnyB4]

Wo, dude. This looks like one killa lapper. A T9400, a 64Gig SS drive and it's a Dell to boot. Dam.

[tomar10]

It's the battery life stupid...

[Trinandgabesmom]

We have an older Dell at home that has served us for a few years now. This Dell has been a great laptop and no complaints.

[mrcooms]

This is a nice looking comp. Even better cuz it's a Dell

[Thenamesxpaul]

The look of the Latitude E6500 will make all my friends jealous with its amazing black body and i definitely could use the core 2 duo for gaming i mean for school :D . No but really this computer leaves my desktop in the dust. Which proves how amazing this laptop acutely is, Dell keeps raising the line of standards for computers and this is no exception. All i can do now is pray to the Dell gods and see if i am worthy of holding such power in my hands.

[manishv1984]

I would certainly love to own one of these.

$2500 laptop is no joke. My plan (if won) would be to throw in a 500GB HDD in the latitude and buy a 200 dollar Dell Mini and pop in the 64gb drive in that.

[dltv]

love me some c2d plus ssd

[geb1222]

Pick me, thanks Dell & SD

[ChristopherOKC]

These are great laptops. A little on the heavy side, but quite powerful. Used to set these up for executive users at my previous job. Would love to have one for myself. My windows-based dell laptop is 7 years old and almost not worth booting. Sure hope I win this giveaway!

[katsat]

Dell makes a great laptop, would love to own one of these.

[jblade]

Dell IS better than the rest!

A dell with SSD is certainly better then the rest.

[Jonny459]

The Dell Latitude E6500 beats the competition because of their quality. I've had a Dell computer before (desktop), and it was good. Didn't have any problems with it.

[LaLa2009]

Dell Latitude E6500 Intel is way amazing, it doesn't hurt that it looks good too. Dell is always reliable. I have a laptop from Dell for over 6 years now and I secretly hope that it stops working so I can get a new one but it's still working as well as the first day I bought it. Way to go Dell!

[macdma]

SPEC looks good

[Linesides]

SPEC looks good


I have one for work, no SSD but dual boot XP and Vista - nice rig

[FellaTee]

dedicated graphics and better in all regards

[mkw1996]

One of the best laptop with solid state drive.

[daxter123]

SSD definitely runs quiet and has good capacity compared to other netbooks

[phish3460]

definitely would make this regurgitant week better

Dell has built a name in reliability and their laptops are built to last. I would prefer Dell over any other brand.

[SirWillae]

Why does this laptop beat the competition? It has so much going for it. SIX MEGABYTE cache, 1066 MHz FSB, 35 W TDP, dedicated graphics, solid state hard drive... I wonder how the battery life is. 85 WHr / 35 W = 2.4 hours. Of course, that's at full CPU load.

IT'S A DELL ENOUGH SAID

[hyundae]

'cuz it's a Dell! (duh)

[drew32]

The strength of Dell equipment and the reliability of Dell service; all combined with a Dell laptop with a 64GB solid-state drive?!? This is a no-brainer, I would love to own a laptop of this magnitude!

[BJDinNC]

I've owned five Dell laptops and all have been very good machines. Their customer service is number one.

[connlaoi]

I think any laptop packing an SSD alone is pretty awesome. After all, almost every other part of a computer is truly electronic (CPU, GPU, RAM), but a regular Hard Drive still has mechanical parts. For a long time, the HDD has been what can really make or break a system.

To the winner : make sure you disable scheduled defrags! SSDs never need to be defragmented, and running defragmentation will reduce the life of the drive.

[ravanux]

How does this beat the competition? It has everything a notebook of this caliber should have. Well done Dell.

[DJ_SAMMY_D]

# NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M (256MB)

# 64GB Samsung RBX S2 Solid State Drive


do I need to say any more?? WOW !!!

[docmat]

Nice features, good memory

[ojosazules976]

This would be a great replacement for my Inspiron 9100 that finally died after 4 years ;)

[donley88]

This sounds like a SWEET computer and I want to find out for myself. Dell computers have never let me down. I sure would like to play with this beauty. :D

[theanimala]

Has the best display in the industry.

[GameXplayer]

yay :)

[neolgism]

Hey, I'd like a chance at this.

[dhk11156]

I have one and it is a great NOTEBOOK

[andoh]

It's better than its competition because 1) its a dell and 2) SDD is awesome!!

[softgrab]

cool stuff:
Integrated Webcam with digital microphone

[daveey]

This laptop is all-around a winner by all standards. The SSD is a great feature, along with the powerful processor and graphics set. Taking a workhorse on the road means bringing this laptop with you.

[CrumbSnatcher]

I've never owned a Dell but from everything I've read and heard it is a top-quality brand. Would love to win this and see for myself. LOL

[infin8007]

I don't understand qualification #2. ? what does it mean?
i'll sign a deal alert no problem, but what is this "10" business?

Oh and DELL ROCKS! tha'ts why they'll beat the compettition.

[infin8007]

nevermind, i understand what get 10 entries means now :)

[dascjob]

SSD HDDs are fast.

[gtidus]

awesome!

[Thrashingshrimp]

Looks amazing! In for one.

[HenryW]

We own another Dell with the backlit keyboard, and we would never by another laptop without it. Also, the LED screen is a great power saver!

[SweetestDeals]

SSD is awesome, that's why. ;)

[mrjeff66]

Dell Lattitude is top-of-line in affordable priced laptops. The support of the Dell team is a plus.

[martay]

Best bang for the buck..go Dell..

[dylanbeck]

Solid specs, Dell quality, plus laptop vs desktop - SSD is where it's at. wOOt

[hopewell16]

It's a great way to keep in contact with business associates and promote yourself on the go.

[anida]

great processor and sleek laptop. would love to have one

[MaHaGoN]

Because it has a nipple!

[bg18461]

It beats the rest because its quick, solid, and has Dells solid reputation behind it.

[nebula168]

Awesome Laptop that has everything!!

[ReMarkable]

me too

[dnrlittle]

Core 2 + solid state drive = fast
free = priceless

[jayello]

slickdeals for the win

[Tempest12]

Sweet! I'll take 2

[otterpopjunkie]

Dell laptops have a great track record for recent years,

the clean design and SSD makes for a work machine.

Rock on. Thank-you.

[jonloovox]

This laptop would be great in the competition! It'd be great for my CAD assignments!

[Bmop]

Finally, a laptop manufacturer was smart enough to use XP instead of Vista, ironically in a laptop that would actually be able to run Vista proficiently. Nice beefy processor as well.

[Pcupgrader]

This is one sweet laptop!!!

Future proof
Fast
Fun

Anyone would be proud to own this puppy!!

[tacotobacco]

Darth vader wouldnt use any other laptop.

[shockwaveudk]

For the price and feature set Dell clearly is the leader in Value. Especially in these hard time for people and business.

[pokemon999]

I really need a computer

[seanlieder]

This is an awesome laptop and you can't beat Dell's support.

[TabascoDan]

This is a very nice Laptop, never been a fan of Dell in the past, but with specs like this, its hard not to think it would be amazing.

[infinitetime]

My first computer was from dell, 3000 dollars or so for like 256mb ram and a couple hundred mhz processor. Oh, how I don't miss those days.

[DaddioDan]

Nice Specs and SSD!:yummy:

[LilyBiscuit7]

It beats the competition because of the "64GB Samsung RBX S2 Solid State Drive". I need a new one and this would be great. Thanks!!

[StringAnomaly]

Incredible laptop! Beats the competition because it has a huge SSD and a very nice processor.

[eclipsemenow]

I think dell rocks and is the best brand of laptop on the market. You cant go wrong with a dell.

[lightingguy32]

Battery life seems to be one of the strong points of this laptop (according to reviews i have read) and the hardware is all pretty future proof.

[Foxbodyford]

"I won't have to cross Jordan alone"

:)

[dantecl]

Excellent laptop, and for free, who can complain? E6500 crushing the competition...

[ElectroWolf]

It's small, compact, and has a SSD in it :D.

:whee:

[hotsteppa]

Great Laptop, Great Deal!!

[saravj]

64GB Samsung RBX S2 Solid State Drive

[linux2216]

You can't beat the price!

[chuieeee]

this laptop wins because it is FREE

[linuxshopper]

Fast processor and high res screen would sure beat my current "portable"

[YoAdrianIDidIt]

Hook It Up! I'd Love This Lappy!

[fettucini]

I Love Sd!!!

[InvncibltyCloak]

SSD, Nvidia Quadro.... sounds better than the computer I own now. Who would pass this up? And then to top it off, they understand vista is terrible do they downgraded. How much better can you get. Beats the competition!

[ThriftyShopper]

The only laptop I've seen that can truly be considered a gaming laptop: processor & video is fabulous. Not to mention the construction can take a beating which is exactly what my family with 2 teens needs. Dell has always been a great brand in my workplace; I'd proudly purchase one for home and home office use.

[HakonPCA]

dell latitude's got more attitude

[nan20052]

great features

[darkore]

awesome monitor, sick SSD and great processor

[uga4life]

dells are awsome and you cant beat the deals

[thexrickx]

I would love to make this my 7th Dell. Lucky number 7... You just can't beat their customer service (if you ever need to actually call them).

[met]

give me one.

[bakaboi461]

i need a new dell!
my old dell is crapping out.

The E6500 is a dell, enough said. Dells are super durable and last a long time by computer standards. I've had dells and haven't had a single problem during the first 3 years of using them. The E6500 is awesome because of the ssd which will reduce hard drive failures, the most common form of laptop maintenance, and the XP downgrade, which, is basically an upgrade.

[lewill13]

Dell has excellent customer service.

[luv2shp]

awesome computer!!! I would love to have it!

[lifeinhim1975]

this is an amazing deal for this laptop that far outshines the competion by offering outstanding specs that make me need to have one.....

[bushijim]

B/c Dell always offer quality products at competitive prices with superb customer service. So many other companies fail at these basic business concepts.

[lastgsr]

lots of ram

[sdjjncc]

I would love to win this, Dell always has quality and this computer is faster then the competition and a great asset to anyone that would need a laptop.

Dell provides a great amalgamation of quality and cost, with high reliability and customer service.

[zing2]

Nice!

[Gadhera]

It's the performance of the Latitude series that stands out from rest of the dell laptop series as well as competitor's line of laptops. The quality of built and parts on any latitude model will outperform your expectations. The latitude series laptop are built strong and gives excellent performance overall.

[slaphappyike]

Oh man. If I could only be another excited person to shout "Dude, I got a DELL!". I would love to own a computer of this quality.

[seanlieder]

This computer beats the rest because it just does. Its a Dell!

[selrach]

This computer is awesome due to the massive solid state drive makes this computer more reliable in high motion environments (like riding in a train). You won't have to worry about your hard disk getting slammed around and screwing itself over by hitting some mechanical moving par.t

[ajaeyre]

This computer squashes the competition with its fast processor and lightness. The screen is a pleasure for the eyes. It will make me happy all my days.

[kusko]

It's lighter and faster than my current laptop. And it backed by the good support of Dell.

[jonaheyre]

This computer rocks with its magical backlit keyboard.

[Gallehant2791]

Sweet, a Sammy SSD, that's just icing on the cake.

[mohsinq]

The sturdy design and SSD make it distinguishing.

this laptop smokes the competition.

[seanlieder]

This Dell beats the rest because with its processor and SSD it is and extremely fast computer.

[Chantastify]

SSD? Dell? Slickdeals? Winning combination in my book

[jkmartin]

Quality, dependability...I am using a Dell Inspiron right now to write this message. I would REALLY like to have the Dell Latitude!

[crazymom]

Did I miss it??

[Leaker]

Unbeatable powerful portable PCing, from an industry leader. Dell has the products anyone would want.



Especially when SD is involved!!!

[JA-RATE]

would love to win this

[railroadrabbit]

The Dell Latitude E6500 beats the competition because of the Solid State Drive, the 9-cell battery, 15.4” widescreen WUXGA (1920×1200) backlit screen and the backlit keyboard. It's sleek design is a major plus. The many ports include eSATA, VGA, Express Card Slot and SD Card Reader, PCMCIA, SmartCard, Wireless Control, Firewire, Microphone, Headphones, three USB ports, Ethernet, and DisplayPort. Options include Bluetooth with 2.1 and UWB, Wireless WAN w/ GPS, and Wireless LAN card with B/G/N.

The specs on this laptop are excellent. The Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 at 2.53GHz and with 6M L2 Cache provide plenty of processing power. The solid state drive and the low wattage processor insure a long runtime from the powerful 9 cell battery. With Dell pretesting and quality support it leaves the competition in the dust!

[arpitgupta]

wow SSD and xp SP3 down gradable would love to get my hands on this.....

[peaceburn]

Entry ... E6500 beats the competition (T series from lenovo, i suppose) simply because it's gorgeous :)

Fingers crossed!

[nuggien]

[ENTRY] dude, it's a dell, and it's gorgeous!!!

[Hiiimgravy]

am i in? did i make it? It's Dell, need I say more?

[bk105]

Awesome computer and besides nothing beats Dell quality.

[newman25]

We buy Dell for work and my last two home computers have been a Dell. Good quality for a reasonable price.

[vedun]

Dell has always been and will always be one of the standards in the computer industry in my opinion. I have owned my Inspirion E1505 for a few years now, and I have had great success and no problems. I trust Dell to deliever some of the better products on the market.
