    Even lower than the last deal !

    Nice :) Wonder if people that jumped on the last deal could get some credit. I didn't buy but this is a nice laptop for the price.

    Does anyone know if this would work with the 5% cash back from Bing that is currently offered by Microsoft and HP. Basically can I get 5% back on top of this coupon savings?

    Sigh, this is tempting. I'm looking for a desktop replacement, in a sense. I don't plan on traveling much with any new laptop I get, BUT I'd still like to be able to put it in my lap while watching TV. Is this thing too beastly for that?

    Also:
    1. Anyone know about a backlit keyboard? It seems as if there is only one keyboard selection, with no indication if it's backlit.
    2. I had been planning on getting a Dell Studio XPS 16, but it seems unlikely that I can configure a comparable machine near this price. Any thoughts?

    Sometimes I think pre-Black-Friday decisions are more agonizing than BF itself!
