I would cancel your order if i was you. I realized i could return my I9200 under the 21 day return policy because i felt screwed over by Dell and i ended up ordering a I9300 with the I9200 going back to them. I got one configured for $1886.34.

P-m 1.86hhz 553mhz FSB
1GB 533mhz DDR2 ram(saved 50 dollars)
17 inch UXGA+ screen with True Life

60gb 7200 rpm drive
24x Cd Burner/DVD player(FREE upgrade!)
Intel Pro Wireless A/B/G(FREE upgrade!)
Windows XP Pro with SP2

However this deal ends today! Buy it through their small business website, use the 35% off coupon and you could my configured system with the added DVD burner, +200 dollars, the 80gb hard drive will save you about 20-30 over the 7200 drive. With your additional battery and DVD burner, if you left it configured how i did would run you about 2200-2300. Not a bad deal! Drop the ram to 512 and you would save 200 dollars. The prices on the small business website are more expensive but that 35% off coupon is insane deal plus free 3-5 day shipping.

Unfortunately the 35% coupon expires today (3/09/2005) but you can find the latest offers

To use the 35% you have to buy the laptop through Dell's small business site.

ok got the 35% as i have a dell sb account......... cancelled the first and replaced it with this one! Truth i dont game at all, will use the computer for office stuff, internet, dvd and movies, music production and video editing. It is a desktop replacement and i travel for months and very often.... will this new one do that well? the last laptop i bought was in 1998 and a fujitsu!

Good stuff man! If you do a lot of video editing and watching DVD's i would recommend 1GB ram, its up too you though. Your system should do great for your needs, just know the portability isn't the greatest. I have a I9200 im returning for my I9300 and it is a big notebook. 15.5inchs long by 12inchs wide by 1.5inchs thick. Weight is about 8lbs. It can be bulky at times but i dont do a lot of travel. Since you travel a alot just take note of this! Its hard since the 17inch display is so nice.
