    They won't throw in the 8400/8600 for free. No chance.

    unless you an get comped for a problem like delays or things like that you are very unlikly to get anything extra out of a base "value" system.. thats VERY hard to do..to bad you missed the 599 one with the 8400 already installed..

    I am glad I got on board when this special was offered. Can't beat $599 + tax for this laptop.
