    So I heard this is a pretty good notebook but I have a couple questions.

    What upgrades should I get for sure? I heard I need to update the display. Any others? Keep in mind I want to keep the price down.

    What's the deal with the Xbox 360? Do I get one if I buy online?

    I am getting a $150.00 instant rebate online. Are there any coupons I can add to this?

    Lastly, do you think this is a better notebook than the Dell XPS 15?

    You'll want the 1920x1080 display (don't skip this) and the 1GB 6770M. Don't get the 2GB because it makes no difference.

    Other than that, you don't need any upgrades unless you want to upgrade the battery, or get a Blu-ray drive, or something along those lines.
