    One correction: no DVD burner, only DVD-ROM.

    Thanks for the correction. However, the notebook now seems to be sold out.

    Wow that would have been amazing. I'd feel bad for my friend: I recommended him an 8530p, and he bought it several weeks ago for $1250. This would have saved him a good amount of money, even if the weaker components were upgraded.
