    Got the EPP discount and then talked to them on the phone for a further ~$150 discount. Is this a good build/price, before I finalize the order?

    I'm thinking about getting a 9-cell separately, but I do want a 6-cell at least for a more "sleek" look. :p

    And yeah, I'm excited!

    Get advanced warranty, you can't change basic warranty to advanced later on. You can only extend "time" of your warranty. I think the 60-70 dollars for advanced warranty is well spent.

    Wrong, you can buy complete care later on if you want to, itll just cost more.

    Just placed the order! :D

    EDD: 8/20.

    I got free NBD shipping also which was surprisingly easy. Just tell him I need it for college as soon as possible, he went and talked to the manager, and there we go. :)
