Dell Vista Ultimate Pricing Discrepancy
I was checking out the new Dell lineup (on the Dell Canada website) of Inspiron laptops and desktops this morning when I noticed something interesting. When you upgrade either machine from it’s default OS of Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate, the upgrade prices are different.
Here’s a screenshot of the laptop (Insprion 1720):
And of the desktop (Inspiron 530):

Can anyone explain the $200 to $170 discrepancy? Does this mean that Dell is asking you to pay more for the same OS on a desktop computer instead of a laptop?
