    WHAT!?! That's the config you got? I can't believe that you got that config because.....................

    That's pretty good config. It's really nice. And now off to newegg you go.

    Nice! ya, get the extended warranty. It's always after 1 or 2 years that you can start having problems with Notebooks...

    Well, with 5% discount you forgot the 1900x1200 screen, don't buy the t9300, get the x9000 off ebay after 1 year's warranty and maybe the 128GB SSD, add a second smart bay HD later, I assume your gonna upgrade your memory to 4 or 8gig later. Hope you don't mind my opinon.

    well for the ssd I'll wait a long while to get one of those, I already own a 250 gb external drive where i store all my movies, pictures, music, programs with activation stuff. so the with the 320 gb drive I probably be good for awhile.

    already have 4 gigs of ram here waiting to be put in.

    and t9300 x9000? processor? or graphics card?
