    Looks like a good machine and a good price to me, and I especially like the color, but why ask about your choice after you've made it?

    Hope it arrives quickly and suits you well.

    I think you should really try to get the intel a/g wireless card for 10$ more. I've heard that its more stable and maintains a stronger connection.

    You could also just get 1 gb, and buy a 2gb stick (make sure you buy the right kind) for much cheaper and install it (leaving you w/ 2.5gb inside laptop and a 512mb DIMM extra to sell or something)

    if its any consolation. I don't think that 200$ coupon stacks

    I guess the only consolation is that the coupon is 'all used?' I just tried to apply it
