    On the student/EPP site, if you start to configure a 1520 with the furthest right deal (with the biggest savings), and choose the Dellcare Value plan, it directs you to a 1420 configuration page. It's been this way for a while. You think they really don't know or they're trying to trick you?!

    Al, it shows as the one for $911 after $273 in savings. It's the furthest right setup on the 1520 page.

    And yes, I should be getting my notebook by Monday. I am kinda nervous. It better be in perfect condition. I've waited damn close to a month for this.

    I noticed it as well when I was configuring my laptop on the student site. I find it strange that they haven't fixed it yet. It's a good thing I was checking the display size or else I wouldn't have noticed. Everything else configuration-wise is the exact same between the 1520 and 1420. Are they trying to trick ppl into buying the 1420?
