    Not knowing your purpose for the laptop we can't say if it's a "good" configuration... BUT, you did get the most important upgrade with the B+RGLED display. :cool:

    1920x1080 display - good. The 1366x768 display is bad. You saved yourself there ;)
    GT 540M - only 12% better than the GT 525M, but something you can't upgrade in the future.
    Backlit keyboard - arguably the second most useful upgrade, aside from the screen

    Overall it doesn't look like a bad config. What are your main usage requirements?

    Sure you can get it before EDD. The EDD is just a worst-case estimate by Dell, they often beat it. They plan on 7 days to ship it to you, at least in the states. It never takes 7 days in the US with all the depots they have all over the country. I realize that's no help if you aren't in US...but there is still plenty of chance to beat EDD.
