    Looks like they pulled the dual 500G HDD's and put in a 750G HDD and pulled the Blu-Ray drive for a DVD drive. Good alternative.

    "1YR Global warranty/1YR Accidental Damage Warranty/30-Day Zero Bright Dot/2-way FREE shipping/24-7 tech support "

    According to Amazon, looks like it's 1-year. I've been keeping my eye on this; if I pull the trigger, I'll just have to buy that 3-year warranty for $160
