    4cell battery is horrible unless you will always have it plugged in.

    well if you add $79, they give you a 9 cell, or for $60, a 4 cell and a 9 cell battery... i dont think thats bad as in the uk its £90 ($180) for just an 9 cell.

    It is not that good deal, you are forced to buy T9500 which is overpriced.

    Hoooollllyyy crap why do I have to be in CA. If I was in the US I'd order it right now... 1200 for T8300, 8600GT, 9cell, 4gb, 320gb HDD. Why does Dell screw Canada so badly...

    that's because he's clicking on "best" deal which is only a better deal for DELL not for you... I SUGGEST when clicking the summer XPS event go to the "GOOD" option as that gives you more options to modify.

    Yes, the BEST one comes with the warranty with complete care and this and that, which alot you dont need, i build mine from BASIC and it ended up with the TOP specs for very low-priced, i the GOOD option is good too.
