    I ordered my 1520 the other day, just wanted to know if I got a good deal or if I could have done better. Here are the full specs for my notebook:

    Intel 2.0ghz T7300
    Windows Vista Premium
    256mb 8600m gt card
    1440x900 screen
    2gb ram
    160 gb HDD
    DVD burner
    802.11 a/b/g
    Bluetooth
    Webcam

    all for $1225 after tax or around $1150 before tax. Your inputs appreciated. Thanks!

    Yup, you got it cheap.
    Especially cheap, I got mine for $1250, without the 3 year warranty (same specs, except I also got next gen wireless N)

    Oh yeah, I added a ton of other junk, like the remote, the integrated HD sound, but still.. How did you add the warranty for so cheap? I believe that it itself costs $250
