    Tiger direct is running a sale... if you get it through bing (search laptop in bing cashback, then click on the tigetdirect add on the side for 12.3% cashback) its super!

    It's the x3 model (no BluRay, and 2 lower capacity hard drives) but you can get it for a steal of:

    Price: $1,549.99
    †cashback: $190.65

    which puts it at 1359.34

    Cant beat that.

    I'm planning on buying this deal for a few reasons:

    I dont need the bag and mouse cause I already have them.
    I'm removing one of the hdd's and installing my corsair p128 ssd.
    I will never need more than 300gigs of space on my laptpy cause i have a terabyte network drive

    also i plan on installing a intel wifi link 6300 and another internal antenna, as well as a BluRay drive I've found on sale.

    but the most important reason is that i dont wana wait for the stock, which could be a month or more.

    in the Bing search bar type "laptops", hit enter. On the right-hand side, you'll see Tiger Direct ad(in all text form), click it, and it will take you to TD with 12.3%.
