For that price, does it come with a monitor? If so, fair deal. Dell has great combo deals with monitor, and you can sell the monitor to lower your computer price.

Funny, they've always been great to me. Even fixed things that were blatantly my fault... Like the keyboard key having popped off.

It's a so-so price. It's not terrible, but also not all amazing.
