    Standard display... Is there a deal for a LED screen packed 1330 as well?

    It's not a deal, it's just removing the warrenty. Without the EPP it's still only $901 which is a grand deal I think.
    Go to the third tab on the top and uncheck the 2 year warrenty and the accidental plan on the proceeding page.

    Great find!

    I seen this on the front page of slickdeals. Pretty decent deal (but not the best I've seen). I remember the good days when Dell used to sell the very basic XPS m1330 standard with a 3 year warrenty for about $750 (couldn't change it while configuring). Not a great deal for such basic specs, but after recieving the laptop the buyer could call Dell and return the warrenty for a refund.

    I was able to score a basic M1330 for ~$430 after returning the warrenty and lojack. I gave the laptop to my uncle, but that deal was slick!

    You can return Lojack? How does one go about this? I've got a completely unused one from Dell.
