    Congrats!!!!!! i know how you feel. my 1530 is the first one i configured myself. btw, you DO know that the 3 year lojack is only good until it gets stolen. after that, you have to re-purchase it. better to get it 1 year at a time. BUT HAVE FUN GAMING!!!!

    Would I be able to return the Lojack when I get the laptop? I don't know if it was part of a package, it may have been...

    ive heard around the forums that someone was able to lower their price by rejecting the lojack software. i dont know if youd be able to do this :/. but hey, you will have a newlaptop. id keep the lojack, esp if it came with it.
