    Huh, you're specs are similar to the ones I want. I reccomend you ditch the 200 GB drive for the 5400 RPM 320 GB one. It preforms the same (because of the density of the data), gives you an extra 120 GB to play with and is $5 cheaper.

    I'm thinking of getting the super high resolution screen, in case I want to buy HD movies or swap in a blu-ray drive when they drop in price.
