congrats man. Im planning on getting one around january. What would be the price if you configured it w/o any bargaining?

 

nice system man

 

Thanks guys.

I forgot the exact quote, but it was 17xx.xx, the lady I finally got was really nice, forgot her name, but she said she spoke to 2 different supervisors and that was the best they could do for me, she said there's not much bargaining that can be done right now because of the holidays, they are selling the laptops as is with no negotiation.


What memory do you guys recommend? I have some G-Skill memory in my rig and I love it, I saw 4gb G.skill laptop memory for 100 or so at newegg.

 

Try to get the 4965 N card and the 9 cell battery...

 

The 9 cell battery IMO throws off the design on the laptop, the 6cell is flush with the system. I can always buy the N card later for the same price

 

True about the N card... the batteries are really expensive later though... the 9 cell helps keep the system cooler I think... and stops it from heating my legs when I have it one my lap.. i love it...

The N card required the multiple antennas.... hopefully not too much of an issue to install later..

 

Thanks for that info Praneeth, I might just call and change it to a 9cell maybe, I'll play my luck with the N card, but I can see how the 9cell would also angle the laptop more when on a table for a more comfortable typing position..we'll see. Here's the memory I am looking at for the lappy:

on my M1330.. both work really well... a couple of the Transcend will cost you a lot less too... I remember seeing the G-Skill 2GB's for about $40 too...
