    I didn't get the hyperlink the way I wanted to.
    Was trying to see if this is a good deal. Best Buy has refused to carry it ever since I started looking, but now it has one.
    $1,299.99

    Is this a good price for this configuration?

    For me i think this is a very good price since the blu-ray driver alone is already 500$ on the dell website so ... all the rest for 700$ is pretty cheap. If you'r not sure this is a good price you can always customize one with the same spec on dell website to see what's the differents in price. And if you know for sure this spec gonna fit your need then go ahead before its gone :D
