    I am going to order an W530 tonight. The price before tax is 1,523.20$ with coupon 3DAYSALE. I tried to lower the price with email signup discount (10%), but it didn't work with 3DAYSALE. So, this seems to be the lowest price I can get. Any comments?

    Where are you buying? US? Canada? Where? Cause if you're in Canada, go to lenovo.com/spccard/ca and use the coupon there. It'll knock it down probably about $100-200.

    Seems like a nice package. I'd consider getting the 9 cell battery though. Its only $50 more and it boosts your life by a pretty good margin.

    The FHD screen seem inaccurate to me but I guess maybe it needs more tweaking than any IPS panel does.

    Yes, it does. I've been playing with my calibration settings. I think its caused by the anti-gloss/matte. Anywho, I've pretty much just accepted it, and will be using an external monitor for any real photo/video work anyhow.
