    choose basic M1530 config in dell home with 1 yr warranty

    then
    change T8100 add $125
    high-resolution LED LCD $125
    256 MB nVidia 8600 add $100
    add 9-cell $169
    total $1518
    25% off

    = $1138.50 plus tax

    u cant get it with ax under $1150 if u want the 25% off coupon, because 25% off $1499 is already $1124

    u can only add 9-cell to $999, nVidia card = $1268 - 20% = $1014 + tax
    i still suggest u look at dell outlet for cheaper deals (under $800 for such specs)

    t5850 vs t8100 - will there be a major noticeable difference if one is not gaming?
