    The AC Adapter is an extra right? Because there already is one in the bundle automatically, you dont have to order it. Otherwise it looks very reasonable. Im assuming youre getting 2*1gb ram - 667mhz is definitely a better buy than 800mhz. I got the 100gb 7200rpm, but that may have been a mistake as the hybrids perform very well. The 12cell will stick out of the back.

    Yeah I chose the adapter seperately? So one does come with the laptop?
    So far on the Aussie site I can only choose the single stick Zeptos. Hopefully later I'll have a different choice.
    About the HDD, this is the largest available which is non-hybrid. The largest hybrid available was a 160GB.

    Oh, by the way, make sure you ordered 2x1024MB of ram, not the 2GB because that's only one RAM stick, which in the end gives you only single-channel as opposed to dual-channel.

    The AC adapter you can choose during configuration is only if you need a spare. The machines always come with an AC adapter by default, so you don't have to choose the extra one.

    Thanks for the clear up Rene.
    @DIGev - I don't really have that choice :p . That's all that's available on the site.

    Try configuring a Value instead of a Power model. It's there.

    Configuring it to the same specs as the power version leads to a higher price. At least that's what happened to me.

    Maybe you should wait then, dual-channel is significantly better than single-channel.
