    Ya yours got a few more stuff than I do & you got a great deal.
    I couldn't buy the laptop earlier when they had good sales and deals.
    Ah well. My price would have less if I didn't get the 3 year warranty..that set me back $350!! and the battery...its crazy how expensive their battery is.

    Hate to put a damper, but that 4 cell is going to die real soon.. The 8400M GS draws a lot of juice, and it's beyond the safe discharge rate of the 4 cell.. A 6 cell would have been better, if a tad heavier..

    Doesn't make a difference.. Whenever the 4 cell is used, it'll be exceeding the safe discharge rate.. And wearing out very quickly..
