http://www.dell.com/atg/sprint to get EPP pricing that you dont have to backup with proof of employment.

i know dell sucks, just pointing this out to the masses.

you can also just change the company name on the end of the url to other companies such as microsoft to see other variations of discounts they are getting.

dell is actually pretty sweet.

But i imagine if people start using this then dell is going to crack down. What are the legal ramifications of buying something through the sprint epp store if you are not a sprint employee?

its a business contract cheap cell service for cheap computers so must likely both sides would sue you for damages

dell.com/ncstate is supposed to get you basically the same pricing as the EPP. no verification required there either (or on basically any of their university sections) so I don't think they care.

Just checked- yep same discount. Also, if you buy from dell.com/ncstate a small portion goes towards textbook scholarships. If you buy from the sprint section then no scholarship money. Same price, why not dell.com/ncstate then?

XPS M1530 (same configuration both times)

Catalog Number: 23 AYDWHF1

EPP/Sprint after discounts- $1,286.16
Dell.com/ncstate after discounts - $1,286.16
