Dell’s got a nicely-equipped Inspiron 530s (that’s the slim version) for $299 after $100 instant savings and free shipping. Features include a 2.5GHz dual-core Intel CPU, Vista Home Basic, 3GB of RAM, 320GB 7,200RPM hard drive, DVD burner, and 7.1-channel audio.

Dell’s also dropped the starting prices on the Inspiron line to $269 for the 530 series and $289 for the 530s series, although this 530s deal for $299 offers far more bang for the buck than either of the lowest-priced models.
