August 18 Update: Dell.ca has dropped 7% off <$699 and 12% off $700+ coupons for Vostro systems! That means you can grab the Vostro 1220 for $659.12! Use coupon code P2TXWW3SS80FD7. $659 as an awesome base price... getting another $50 back with PayPal knocks this one out of the park!

--------------------

Dell.ca has good deal for you this morning! The Vostro 1220 with a P8600 processor, 3GB RAM, and a 250GB 7200RPM hard drive with free fall sensor is $749.00. If you checkout with PayPal, you can get $50 cash back, too.

* Windows Vista Home Basic
* Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.4GHz, 3MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB) 25w
* Obsidian Black
* 12.1" WXGA LCD Display with TrueLife
* Integrated 1.3MP Webcam and Digital Mic with webcam and video chat software
* 3GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz, 2 DIMM
* 250GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with Free Fall Sensor
* Obsidian Black with 12.1" WXGA LCD Display with TrueLife
* 8X DVD+/-RW DVD+/-R Roxio and Cyberlink PowerDVD DX 8.2
* Dell Wireless 1397 802.11b/g Mini Card
* 4-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery


The P8600, 3GB RAM, and hard drive are nice to see on the hardware side. Upgrade wise, you might want to consider Vista Home Premium ($30) to qualify for Windows 7 down the road, and a 6-cell battery ($60).

If nothing else, $699 (give or take, since you do pay the tax on $749 before getting the PayPal cash back) is a very impressive price for a P8600 equipped 12" notebook. Heck, the same a nearly identical configuration was $799 two weeks ago (it had Wireless N) and that was considered pretty hot.
