    I found this sweet XPS1530 deal on bestbuy.

    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...1127&lp=10&type=product&cp=2&id=1218006773367

    1049$ plus tax for a T8100, 4GB RAM, 320GB 5400 rpm HDD, 8600GT and Blu-Ray. Not bad, though you'll have to live with the basic/average 1280x800 display.

    X1530-147B
    SKU: 8989124
    Shipping: Usually leaves our warehouse in 1 business day Estimate Arrival Time

    Store Pickup: Not Available

    Shame about the res and CPU, they should have just stuck in a T8300 and got rid of the 320GB HDD in favor of something else.

    That's not much difference between the 8100 and the 8300, but I agree on the screen issue.
