    First off, check the site again, I just brought one similar configuration to yours, and it turns out that they upgraded the website the day after and included a better processor, and graphics card (Mobility Radeon 6370). I will be purchasing mine in the next 2 days with i3 380m, 4gb ddr3, 320gb 7200rpm, and ATI Mobility Radeon 6370. Very Excited!
