    I would probably go with the Intel WiFi Link 5300 for better reception and the Express Card Slot & 7-1 Media Card Reader, but other than that it looks like a good configuration (depending upon your needs) and a fine price.

    If your graphics needs are office and internet and movies, the integrated graphics are fine. That's what I have.

    I do just fine on reception with the 5100, the only upgrade I would do is to get the wxga+ as it is what sets it apart from other 14in laptops.
