    I'm presuming that's 1999 dollars?

    Yes, that's a very good deal. You're getting the 1080p screen, GTX 260M, a 500GB hard drive and a blu-ray player. If possible you MIGHT want to get a 9 cell battery if you plan on using it on battery.

    260m CorsaiR. Yeah that seems about standard for a deal. If that is with Dell...then you can get it lower most likely. Tell them if they give you the screen upgrade for free then you will buy it then and there. I had the budget for $1500 and I told them I will buy it if they gave me the graphic card for free I would do it. They did and I kept my end of it :)
