    here are the specs for the 1520 i just ordered!
    Tell me your thoughts/comments...should I upgrade anything by calling in last second?

    Core2Duo T7300 2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB/4MB cache
    Vista Home Premium
    Midnight Blue
    2GB RAM
    1680x1050 Glossy Display
    256MB Nvidia 8600M GT
    160GB 7200 RPM HDD
    CD Writer/DVD player
    High Def Audio 2.0 (I have a HD Audigy software CD for windows xp, hoping it will work for vista)
    Intel 3945 a/g Mini-card
    Integrated 2.0Megapixel Webcam
    6 Cell Battery
    Bluetooth
    Travel Remote Control

    Unit Price: 1,488.....-300 coupon code......-23.76(2% DPA)...+tax
    Grand Total: 1,222.45
    I tried calling in and getting a discount over the phone....but the guy insisted that all he could do was give me free nextday business shipping and denied the 2% DPA discount...so I just did it online for free 3-5day ground shipping to get the 2% =)

    oh, by the way, is it supposed to include the Creative EP-630 Earbuds in my Order Summary? its supposed to come free but I don't see it...

    no warranty? You should call in to customer service for free overnight shipping, just be rude about it and you'll get it.

    Are you sure you dont want the better wifi card? I saw that most everyone else got it. Make sure that screen wont be too small for you, other than that it looks good. imo you shouldn't call just to ***** for overnight shipping, thats lame.

    Another bump towards asking this question. Many of us could highly benefit from you taking a second of time to let us know this part no:

    Oh yeah, and I will personally bump your rep if you give us the no:
