    B, and also it's a special edition, so it will have a better resale value.

    Yeah, thats not too much more for the led +4gb. I would go with it. You will get more than that price difference back in a resale.

    who were the people who said A? I wonder if it was because they felt that the LED display isn't worth it.

    it's too bad they don't have anymore 15% off outlet coupons floating around or I could get B with only 3gb ram and vista premium for a couple hundred dollars less : (

    hmm not sure if Outlet is worth it since they are all returns. you'll either get a CMO display, a whiny machine, poor build quality or any combination of the above... I personally don't think that's worth the $200 of savings... (likely less with the current deals)

    that might be true, but the one LED I have coming has
    "1 MM350 Module,Liquid Crystal Display 13.3WX,Light Emitting Diode TMD,M1330 " in the invoice, which I understand means Toshiba. If it's defective I'll just return it. It's a lot more savings than $200 if you factor in the SSD, more like 600-700 in savings
