Dell Quad Core PC Deals from $579 including $749 i5-750, $849 i7-860 & $999 Loaded i7-860 (updated)
October 27 Update: The configurations and prices have been changed around a little. All of the systems now feature Windows 7 and some have seen hardware upgrades (like 4GB RAM instead of 3, and 500GB hard drives instead of 250GB).
Originally Posted October 21: If you've been waiting for the right time to buy a new desktop PC, Dell.ca currently has an impressive selection of Vostro PCs with quad core processors to choose from. The release of Intel's new i5 and i7 processors has shaken things up (in a good way), and Windows 7 is now available as well. It's a good time to be considering a purchase.
At the "low end" of these deals, there is a Vostro 420 Tower with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 Q8300. At the other end of the spectrum, $999 will get you a Core i7-860 equipped Vostro 430 PC with 8GB RAM, Windows 7 Pro, and a 1TB Hard drive. Here's a more detailed look at the systems:
- $579 Vostro 420 - Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300, 500GB HD, 3GB RAM, 512MB Radeon 3450, DVDRW, Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit
- $749 Vostro 430 - Intel Core i5-750, 500GB HD, 4GB RAM, 512MB Radeon 4350, DVDRW, Windows 7 Home Premium w/Media 32 bit
- $849 Vostro 430 - Intel Core i7-860 (manually selected), 500GB HD, 4GB RAM, 512MB Radeon 4350, DVDRW, Windows 7 Home Premium w/Media 32 bit
- $999 Vostro 430 - Intel Core i7-860, 1TB HD, 8GB RAM, 512MB Radeon 4350, DVDRW, Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
The Vostro 420 isn't bad, but if processing power is of the utmost importance to you, then you will definitely want to consider the i7-860 systems.
These systems offer great value in our book. For many mainstream users and certainly for businesses, it would be quite difficult to go the "build-it-yourself" route for comparable systems when you have to factor in manpower, all of the components, operating systems, assembly and testing, as well as shipping (which is free from Dell.ca).

Dell.ca: Nintendo DSi White $168.99, Kodak ZX1 HD 720p Camcorder $129 & More
It's time for another look at some electronics and accessories that are on sale at Dell.ca. Right now, you'll find, among other things, noteworthy deals on the Nintendo DSi, a very affordable 720p HD camcorder, and more.
If you've been looking to pick up a Nintendo DSi, this is as good a deal as we've seen in quite some time. In, fact it is the lowest price we've seen at retail! The previous low was a black DSi for $170 during Days of Deals event. Other retailers are selling the DSi for $179.99 to $189.99.
The other item that catches our eye is the Kodak ZX1 camcorder. You're probably not going to be shooting documentaries with this camera, but as DigitalCameraReview.com puts it, the ZX1 "travels well, doesn't occupy too much space, records decent video and does it all in style". That sounds pretty good to us! According to PriceCanada.com, other Canadian retailers currently sell this for $140 and up.
Shipping is free for all items.

Acer Desktop PC w/Intel E5200 2.5Ghz, 4GB, 640GB, DVD Burner, HDMI, Windows 7 - $339
October 24, 7:48PM Update: Looks like XpressCanada.com has an even better price, by $11 at $338.75. XpressCanada.com seems to be owned by the same company as Canada Computers but they do not have any retail stores.
Originally Posted October 24: CanadaComputers.com has a very capable and complete PC with a free upgrade to Windows 7 for $349.99. The Acer AM3800-U3802A features an Intel E5200 2.5Ghz processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 640GB hard drive, DVD burner, Intel integrated X4500 Graphics with HDMI out, a memory card reader, 7.1 channel audio, gigabit LAN, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. With the HDMI out and card reader, it could make a good home theatre PC as well, though it's a regular sized tower that takes up a bit more space.
Some companies force you to pay a small shipping fee to deliver your Windows 7 upgrade disc but thankfully Acer isn't one of them. All you have to do after you get your system is go online, fill out the request form, and wait for your disc in the mail.

BestBuy.ca: Rock Band 2 (Game Only) for PS3, X360, or Wii $19.99
Forum user Soulsaber has spotted an excellent deal over at BestBuy.ca. Right now, Rock Band 2 (game only, no instruments) can be had for just $19.99 for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or Nintendo Wii! That's a terrific price for this super-popular game. Prior to this, you weren't likely to find a new copy for less than $39.99. All 3 titles currently list as out of stock, but will ship when available.
Again, the main thing to note is that this is the game only. You will need to purchase instruments separately or have some from other games (check instrument compatibility at Rockband.com).
BestBuy.ca offers free shipping on orders over $39, so if you buy 2 copies, you should qualify.

Dell.ca: Studio XPS 8000 PC w/ i7-860, 8GB, 1TB HD, Radeon 4350, Win7 Home Prem. $999
Dell.ca has another good desktop offer for those of you looking to make the jump to the Intel Core i7 line. Actually, this offer provides some interesting competition for the current $999 i7-860 Vostro 430 offer, but there are some nice additions here.
Studio XPS 8000 Desktop PC with Intel Core i7-860, 8GB RAM, 1TB Hard drive and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - $999
- Windows 7 Home Premium, 64Bit, English
- Intel Core i7-860 processor(8MB Cache, 2.80GHz)
- Microsoft Works 9.0, English
- 1 Year Limited Hardware Warranty with In Home Service after Remote Diagnosis
- 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz - 4 DIMMs
- 1TB - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache
- ATI Radeon HD 4350 512MB
- 16X DVD+/-RW Drive
- Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
- Dell USB Keyboard
- Dell Studio Optical Mouse
In terms of components, it looks nearly identical to the Vostro 430 (although Vostro 430 in question has Windows 7 Professional while this XPS 8000 has Home Premium). Where the Studio XPS 8000 differs much more us case design. The Studio XPS 8000 has little more more style with a black face and white sides and top. It also has a built in card reader and some neat additions on top of the case -- a power button and USB/audio ports in a tray. An easy-access power button and a tray for use with USB keys, charging phones or MP3 players or even holding change sounds very handy. You can check out some screenshots of the case here.
Shipping is free.

Apple: New iMacs (inc. 27” model with IPS 2560x1440 display for $1799), New Mac mini & More
Yesterday (October 20), Apple took the wraps off new revisions of the iMac, Mac mini, and the MacBook (non-pro).
We'd say the biggest changes come to the iMacs, which now pack 16:9 widescreen LED-backlit IPS panels. In that department, we think the $1799 27" iMac with a 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo Processor, 2560 x 1440 resolution, 4GB RAM, 1TB hard drive, and Radeon 4670 is is actually a pretty appealing deal. An LED-backlight 27" IPS display with staggering resolution would surely cost a pretty penny, so we consider that a big part of the price tag. The actual computer hardware isn't too shabby either.
Elsewhere, the Mac mini has gotten some hardware upgrades (faster Core 2 Duo processor, more RAM, and bigger hard drives). Apple has also introduced a Mac mini server, which omits the optical drive and instead, allows for a second hard drive. The news on the MacBook front is less exciting -- it gains unibody construction but uses white plastic instead of aluminum like the more expensive MacBook Pros.

Shopping for good quality smartphone with lots of features? Then head over to Newegg.ca and have a look at the NOKIA Eseries E71 White Unlocked Cell Phone w/ Full Qwerty Keyboard, GPS, Wi-Fi, & 3.2MP Camera - Retail for $319.99 with free shipping. That's a good price to begin with, but if you combine it with Newegg.ca's anniversary promo 10% off coupon code MKTBDAY, you get another 10% off and it brings the price down to $287.99! That's the best price we've seen for this phone so far by a long shot!
If you're not familiar with this phone, you can check out some online reviews. GTDtimes calls this the "sexiest and most technologically well conceived phone that Nokia has ever made". At the same time, Wired.com rates it a 9/10. It also has a 5/5 rating on Newegg based on 166 user reviews (the grey version has 143 and the white version has 23). This is a sweet deal on a good smartphone.
