    You must have been lucky or bought one that they already had built. Maybe someone else's canceled order was thrown back on the line to become yours.

    Some of the Samsung panels also look excellent. It seems that most people that get an LG screen are extremely happy with it. It's about 50-50 for the people who get Samsung screens.

    ohhhh icic well i just hope that i get a good build on the overall whole laptop then. the xps i ordered only had 2gb ram because itd be cheaper to go out and buy 4gb ram to put in myself for about 100USD (800HKD). i heard that vista takes up 1/2 a GB and stuf..would u recommend that i upgrade to 4GB RAM?

    I think people notice a huge improvement between 2 and 4 GB of RAM. Having that extra memory for your programs makes a pretty big difference.
