Thinking of ordering an M11x today...

What's the best option running right now for configuration/deals?

Is it worth it to get the Free i7 upgrade option which limits some choices?
Is the fasttrack order option good enough to last me?
How can I get the best coupons and pricing?
i.e. Do I call and Haggle? what do I tell them? How the hell do you haggle over a computer? What is EPP? Where can I find coupons? Should I wait until there are better coupons?

What do you suggest to get the best bang for my buck without going tooooooo much over 1k?

If I end up going over 1200 or so is it just worth it to get a M15x or some type of Sager? What's the cutoff for portability/affordability/power?

That takes apart the entire m11x, look at the description to see where to fast forward in the video for the respective part.

EPP: It's a discounted site for university students, and people who have jobs. You give them your university or employer name. If this applies to you, email (pm) me for a great $215 automatic EPP discount link. =)
