    That's interesting...when I went to configure mine just a few minutes ago, there was no "None" option. The 3GB was already picked out.

    I was configuring a 1520 earlier and had a price of $2015 for the build, and wanted to add the Plant A Tree For Me ($1) option. Adding that changed the price to $2017. That is a rather large value of 1, IMHO.

    But then they are $200+ USD cheaper. So stop complaining ;) I might end up purchasing an M1330 from the Canadian store.
