    If I take a configurable SB13 (model SB3C5E) prices start from £687. This seems rather cheap compared to the preconfigured models. For example if I make the following upgrades:

    processor to i5
    windows home to pro
    fingerprint sensor

    The new cost is £817

    However this is now the same spec as the SB1X9E that costs £899. Is there some other difference that I'm missing?

    I'm a bit concerned that I can't find a full list of all the specs (ports, weight etc) of the configurable model like you get if you click on more info for any of the preconfigured models.

    They've also got an update over here in Belgium, they added more European Keyboard layouts and colors!
