    Yeah, that would probably cost like 1400 or so without I think. (or 1300) And refurbished ones are usually still excellent quality

    I just got the exact same system with 750GB HD, bluetooth, and the 1.5GB 555m for $970. The refurb + 20% off deal was too good to pass up.

    My system should be here on Monday.
