    Hey guys, I've never bought a laptop before, and now I'm thinking about the 6000 for college.
    Intel® Pentium® M Processor 750 (1.86GHz/2MB Cache/533MHz FSB)
    Microsoft® Windows® XP Home
    15.4 inch WXGA LCD Panel
    SAVE $80 instantly with the Premium Service Package plus Nights and Weekend
    FREE Upgrade! 512MB DDR2 SDRAM 2 Dimms Free Upgrade
    60GB Hard Drive
    24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive
    6-cell Lithium Ion Battery (53 WHr)
    128MB DDR ATI's MOBILITY™ RADEON X300 PCI Express x16 Graphics
    Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200 Internal Wireless (802.11 b/g, 54Mbps)

    So thats $2043 - 800 = $1243 + 106.36 TAX = $1349.36 Total

    Now I noticed that alot of you didn't extend your warranties or add complete care, why is that? For the people that have used the warranty and/or complete care, how was it? I'm really not sure about spending an extra $400+ on the premium service package even though I want the laptop to last for a while. What warranty plan do you guys recommend that I choose, if any? Thanks.
    Edit: oh btw,my budget is $1500 total, so even though I'm under the budget, I still feel like $400+ is a whole lot for this machine.
