    Hey guys, I'm about to order but just want a peer review, is the following a good price for a M1330??

    XPS M1330 Notebook: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7500 (2.2GHz)
    6 Cell Primary Battery
    Tuxedo Black
    No Fingerprint Reader
    13.3 inch WXGA CCFL w/ 2.0mp webcam
    Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
    120 GB SATA Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
    128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
    Dell Travel Remote Control
    Bluetooth Wireless Card 355
    8X DVD +/- RW w/dbl layer write capability
    Dell Wireless 1490 802.11a/g mini card
    2 GB DDR2 SDRAM 677MHz (2 DIMMs)
    3 Year Warranty (In-home, etc, etc)



    Final price including shipping/tax: $1376
    Plus, they'll include a $200 gift card.

    Also, anyone know if I can "return" the warranty for the 2nd and 3rd year and get credited back? I've read some posts that someone did so and got $179 credited back to them. If I can, should I do so, or is the 3 year warranty worth it?

    No there is no refund for warranty.

    Great price but I would go for LED also.
