    Most people don't add quite so much. There's a lot of savings in the standard processor, no webcam, no bluetooth, and standard warranty.

    dont upgrade the ram through dell, your paying a lot more than you would if u bought it somewhere else and put it in yourself which is a very minor task
    probably save you ~100
