    Does this look like a good deal?

    The laptop is mainly for college, maybe some light gaming, but the X1400 is more than plenty.

    If you think that x1400 can cover your needs then go for it, sounds good for me :)

    That's a pretty good deal. How did you get that configuration at 769 + tax?

    I was reading a review for it on this site and under the price comparision I went to the one for $749 and it came with that configuration, then I added bluetooth for $20. Here is a number I found during my checkout for this model.
    "4 BNDWEXP" just search for that at dell and it brings it up.

    Same here, I didnt get the video upgrade. But I used a business partner account, got the 6400, coreduo 1.73/2 gigs/160g 5400 for $680. Its alot larger than my old D600 and not as portable.
