    Hi, I live in Canada, so I have to use www.dell.ca

    I would like it to have T7300, 2 gigs of ram, geforce 8400 and any intel wireless card.

    Could someone configure it for the lowest price? I couldnt find T7300 and went with T7100 and my final price with tax is slightly below $1500 CAD

    Thanks

    The .2 difference isn't much. You might as well stay with the 1.6 T5470.

    So you can save some money there.

    Okay thanks for the tip. Also, what's the best way (as in the most cost effective way) to buy from dell?

    Right now, all I do is use the website to configure the parts. Would phoning them be a better option?

    Thanks

    Phoning is a MUCHH better option you can save loads of money. I saved £100 ($200) by just saying my friend got it cheaper, i can get a betetr deal elsewhere etc. Whatevr you do, dont buy from the net, buy it over the phone - you will save quite a bit.

    thank you very much!

    How does it work over the phone? Do I just tell him the specs I want? Like...:
