    I'm gonna buy a laptop from US and I stay in India. Since the config is pretty good and the prices are pretty cheap there, I decided to buy it from US itself. What I wanna know is do they have different configs over phone than on the site? I mean do they have a better config on phone than on the site? or is everything same on the site and phone. This is my config so please have a look at it and do suggest a little bit over it as well.

    The phone option gives you access to the exact same specs as on their website. Where it differs is that if you're upgrading parts, you can ususally get a couple of hundred off the price.

    I see so they dont have anything extra via phone/shop? hmm then I dont have a problem paying $1500 since I will still be saving nearly 20k INR for this config so its a pretty good deal for me.
