yes they are the same, but when you use coupons, dell jacks up the price and you work off list price before you can use the coupon, the final net cost should be the same. the only true test is for each of you to state what prices you are working with. the 6400 is on sale right now in his config for about $750. $864 with a 100gb drive. and that includes 1gb ram
so exactly what did you pay journey? and what options did you get. with a few upgrades, the 6400 could be gotten for a good price too. i always tell people to work it up each way to the same config and then compare. i remember reading you got ripped off too until you complained you were gonna send it back and they gave you some givebacks.
This is what I got for $1,276, including taxes and shipping. Dell later gave me $115 and a $50 coupon back when I said...
you will often find them the same, or one will have a clear advantage that day, then dell changes prices and it shifts to the other. no one division or sale is always the cheapest! and it changes each day.
i would pay the extra $100 and take the upgrade in cpu one notch to 1.86
my only other comment is that upgrading the battery for $100 seems like a rip. when you can just buy a spare battery for about the same price and have 2. i would never pay that. sometimes i see the bigger battery on sale! wait for what you want.
