    i don't understand how this kind of notebook could be so cheap. I'm just wondering if santa rosa is about to phased out because this is the best laptop deal i've ever seen on a gaming notebook...

    Montevina is phasing out Santa Rosa this summer, though it really has nothing to do with these prices.

    It never hurts to call a dell rep and ask to switch OS

    You mean besides the fact that you're wasting 30 min of your time and the answer is going to be "no"?
