    Hey guys just a quick question, well I configured a FW to my liking and it came out to $1600 (CAD) and the summary is as follows:
    *
    Intel® Core 2™ Duo Processor P8600 (2.4GHz)
    Microsoft® Windows Vista® Home Premium with Service Pack 1
    Titanium Gray
    4 GB DDR2-SDRAM (DDR2-800, 2GBx2)
    200 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive [7200 rpm]
    Blu-ray Disc™ Read Only Drive
    ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3470
    LCD 16.4" (XBRITE-HiColor™)
    WLAN (802.11a/b/g/n) with integrated Bluetooth® technology
    Extended Battery
    Microsoft® Works
    Video Plus
    Windows Live OneCare 90-Day Trial

    However, there is a pre-configured one available for $1699 (CAD) and under its specs in supplied accessories it says:
    standard battery, ac adapter, power cable, OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES, LARGE CAPACITY BATTERY, AC ADAPTER (DIFF MODEL), USB PORT REPLICATOR, NEOPRENE CASE, LADIES LEATHER TOTE, SPORT MESSENGER BAG, BLUETOOTH LASER MOUSE.
    Is this just a misunderstanding or is all this stuff thrown in as a bonus with the preconfigured system, or is all this included with the CTO as well, just not listed?
