    You really can't find an SZ Series computer for this cheap anywhere. Lowest price on Price Grabber is $1356 from NextWarehouse.com - and that only comes with a 1 Year Warranty! Specifications may not be the best, but this deal is hot because of the price for this kind of laptop and free warranty upgrade:

    VGN-SZ440N23
    1.66 Core 2 Duo
    1 GB RAM (1 x 1024mb...so you could ideally put in another module)
    80 GB Hard Drive
    CD-RW/DVD-RW - burns CDs and burns DVDs
    Hybrid Graphics System - Independent (GeForce 7400) & Integrated (Intel GMA 950)
    13.3" X-Brite Screen
    4 lbs. with battery
    5 hours battery life
    FREE 3 Year Warranty Upgrade

    $1199 + $24.45 UPS Ground Shipping + No Tax Outside of MA.
    On-Site Next Business Day Accidental Warranty Upgrade is a Promotional $159 (link's on the right) if you're also interested.

    I personally own this laptop and I love it - definitely lightweight and portable enough to take around to class with you. You really don't need an educational ID or be a part of BU to purchase this. I hope this helps some people out for Back-to-School!

    Does 1.66 core 2 duo come with Santa Rosa (Centrino Duo)? If it does, I might look into it some more.

    Does this one have carbon-fiber and a built-in webcam?

    No SZ series have Santa Rosa as of right now

    In order to have the carbon-fiber it would have to be models SZ450 and up, not sure about the web cam.

    No bluetooth, fingerprint reader, and build-in webcam with standard casing on this computer. that's why it's so cheap.
