    I know they're pretty much the same except screen size (which doesn't really matter to me since I'm using it with a monitor most of the time) and the 1520 offers a better video card, but the 1420 comes out to be $200 cheaper with all the configs I want, just with a 128MB 8400GS card instead of the 256MB 8600GT.

    However, I won't be using it for very graphics intensive things, but I will do some light gaming with it. Should I just stick with the 1420 since most of the upgrades I want are already included (have to add extra on the 1520) and it has bigger discounts?

    Edit: Also, does the printer come with a printer cable? It shows that you can buy accessories for the printer and the printer cable is one of them and costs $25... so I assume it doesn't already come with one? If so... that would suck.
