    Edit - see post #3


    I already ordered it, the price is shown in the picture and the config as well.

    Good price if I do say so myself.

    looks like a good deal and you have included all the worthwhile upgrades (2GB/8400M/LCD screen)
    the processor upgrade to T7XXX isn't really worth unless you plan to run some really processor intensive tasks like 3d rendering

    how did you manage to land this sweet price though?

    How in the hell did you get it for that cheap? That is what it costs for the base here in the USA.

    I got a similar deal and as far as I know it is only for students.
    Go to your school's dell premier site and click on the "special promotions" website and the xps m1330 *may* be listed as one, if so you're in luck.

    A warning though. This is a great deal but configuration options are more limited/different than through the full catalog. For instance my school had it configured with some options that you cannot remove (ie printer, 3 year warranty, etc). This is not a huge problem though as it is still an awesome deal.

    Were you able to remove the $100 printer from this option? I priced a similar system thru my school's website, and really don't need the printer

    I could not remove the printer. All I could do was upgrade it to a laser. I'll just ebay it or something, no biggie.
