Thanks NBR and members

I was in the market to buy a 15.4" notebook and through this site and it members posts, I was able to get a great deal for an M1530 through the EPP. I did a lot of research and with posts from paper_wastage and others I was able to get the following system;

ur welcome

 

and congrats on your new system

 

Did you actually use the link from paperwastage? I couldn't configure mine with a 320GB 5400 drive with it like you have. It is weird today I was trying to use that configuration for a friend and it wouldn't give me any screen options besides the LED one. I know when I used it for mine I could pick the HD screen.

 

I did, however, I found the best deal when I chose the system with the biggest discount and configured from there. That is the only one that allowed the choice for a 320GB hard drive. The others didn't and didn't come to be as good of a price.
