    I was playing with Sonystyle SZ configurations and correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this a really good deal?

    SZ440
    C2D T5500
    2GB (this is $100 off right now)
    80GB Drive
    Remove WWAN
    Remove Camera
    Sony is offering free shipping
    ------------
    Total - $1541

    Here is the link, you've got to set the options like above to get that price. FYI you can get it under $1400 with a 60GB drive and Celeron M processor.

    Call Sony's salespeople for a better price, 1-877-865-SONY. (The number is also at the top of the SonyStyle.com page.)

    Just ask the salesperson if there is any advantage to ordering on the phone rather than online and they'll most likely tell you that they will give you approximately $50 off the online price for the same configuration.

    Also, free shipping from Sony is almost every Tuesday-Thursday.

    If this doesn't work, please let me know.
