    I think it's a good deal. What you see in my sig cost me yesterday 1199 eur, and many people said that what i've bought it's a good deal for the buck. What I like more at the configuration you show is the screen; most of the notebooks come these days with WXGA. Maybe Santa rosa is better than Core2Duo but I don't think there's a huuuge difference.

    "Typical price: £1,850"

    According to www.cnet.co.uk


    i agree with invasion, seems like a good price for the specs. (especially with that blu-ray ; )

    I guess it's hard to know if it's a good deal without knowing how much the equivalent Santa Rosa laptop will cost and how much extra oomph it will get from the 800 MHz FSB and other goodies?
