    After 2-3 months of reading, learning, calculating and head scratching, I decided
    to fire it today. And here is the result:

    I6400,CORE DUO T2400(1.83GHZ)
    15.4 INCH WXGA,I6400/E1505
    1GB,DDR2,533MHZ,2 DIMM,I6400/E1505
    80GB HARD DRIVE,I6400/E1505
    256MB ATI MOB RADEON X1400,I6400/E1505
    85 WHR,9-CELL,LION,PRIM BATT,I6400/E1505
    8X DVD+/-RW DRIVE,I6400/E1505
    INTEGRATED NIC AND MODEM
    INTEL PRO/WRLS 3945,A/G,DC,I6400/E1505
    XLARGE NYLON DELUXE CARRYING CASE,INSP
    3 Year On Site Warranty

    The only thing that may bother me in the future is screen.
    After 3 months I was still 50-50 on glossy and matte. I would love
    to have an option for 1680x1050 matte. But that is not possible.
    wsxga glossy was an additional $150, which was killing my budget.

    I used an EPP with the extended warranty and the result is : $1597 CAD
    That is 1390 USD after taxes.

    What do you think guys? Considering the Canadian Dell site, did I get a good order?
