Amazon vs Dell vs Buy.com prices: Hi, Currently Dell and Buy.com have a special selling the Nokia 5800 for $300 vs $340 here at Amazon (I'm excluding the $50 rebate and rounding up).

Although this thread is about cameras, I found it on a gooogle search of "Amazon versus buy.com". In my experience (mainly on books) I much prefer the Amazon website because of the reviews and good interface. But buy.com tends to be a bit cheaper. Generally a dollar or so for a typical $15 book. But where buy.com is much better (and why I tend to order from them) is the shipping. If you go for Amazon's free shipping, they seem to always sit on the shipment for a week before sending it out. Buy.com, although they say free shipping will take longer, it seems my packages always get shipped within a couple of days.

I don't know if Amazon will do it, but most small computer stores (mom&pop shops) will do it for relatively cheap. If you want to go to a big box store, check out Best Buy's geek squad although they are a bit more expensive than a small shop usually.

I used my friend's that she bought at the mall amd it prompted me to search for one online. She's still ticked off years later that she paid so much and me so little. Since I have also bought one for my daughter. Had them for years without any problems. My friend and I couldn't find anything different. So as long as people buy them for that much,they will sell them but you are smart enough you found a better deal :)

I hear ya. I've been using Amazon for about 10 years and i am never dissappointed. However, the $200 difference was tempting. I linked the website to Amazon hoping they'll lower their price just a little.

I just bought it at digitalelectronics4less.com for $180. I'm confused since it is listed for about $260 everywhere else (and sometimes much more!)...but it appears to be new and have all accessories. Score!

Agreed, Amazon can shove it. Just bought one off of eBay. Base price was 1889.99 shipped, but I get $151.20 cash back from Windows Live, and hopefully another $56.70 cash back from ebates.com for a total price of $1682.09. Ordered it today around lunchtime, will be delivered tomorrow between 10 and 2. (beat that, Amazon).

Different vendors post different prices. I doubt there's any difference other than price, but there are other brands out there on Amazon. This product is the best value tho.

I just got the 630 for $1,034 at USAppliance.com. Also keep your eye on Frys.com, they are currently sold out but I called a store and was told that, once they get more in stock, the 630 will be $1,000.

amazon is a LARGE internet retailer. it would almost always be able to undercut what bricks-and-mortar stores would be charging for virtually anything. I initially bought the unit at a norcal compusa for about $650 after taxes. then i googled this thingy for some technical questions, and out pops the amazon link. got from amazon for around $425. returned the compusa merchandise the next day.

Amazon does not always have the best price... I have watched the price on this item for a while. FYI, if you live near a microcenter, they have this laptop for $1199 - $200 (instant savings) = $999.... Its an in-store only special, but you can find more info on their website http://microcenter.com ... I have e-mailed Amazon to see if they would lower their price, but I am still waiting for a response... I also would prefer to buy from Amazon to use "prime".

The price is up and down all the time, on Amazon. Got mine at Radio Shack for $229.

I am no an expert, but I do know at times amazon will price match other competitors. As of September 2nd, Bestbuy has this item at this sale price. Hope this helps.

This model has an 8GB RAM and the integrated HD 4400 graphics. The one with 16GB RAM and the GT 750M is a higher model, and it goes above $1100 ($1149 on the dell website)

Hi there I just checked and the suggested retail price for these is $999.99. Certainly the $4899 price is an error, I'll have to contact amazon support about that. Nonetheless, we do have them on sale right now, and the touch screen operation on the 740s is very effective, even in wet conditions. I hope that helps, please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks from Scott at Maple Leaf GPS

I've used the 360 before and I liked it. I just bought the 650 from Amazon 2 days ago and my package is already on the way! I got a good deal too! It was on sale for $309. I saw the ad on Costco.com for $299 but if you add everything up Amazon still offers the best deal with no hassle return policy. I've ordered many things from Amazon and I'm satisfied 95% of the time. So, keep the 360 if you already got it unless you want to pay more for a bigger screen.
