    quoted from the CSR at my univ, at $1299 + Cali tax, pick up in their store

    am i getting ripped off or is it a decent deal ? they have it in stock so i can pick it up there (that's the deal maker) but the price? Is that a deal breaker or is it ok? can it be better?

    There is no bluetooth :( , i'm guessing i can install that myself or buy a usb stick

    It seems pretty good, the only thing is blueteeth and the low cpu speed.

    Try to see if they sell higher processor at least 1.8ghz or higher.

    That's a good deal. Regular price in Canadian is $1379 but the processor is T7100. Other than that, the 3-year warranty is great!

    Which University is this? How do I find out if my University has deals like this? It's summer and I don't want to go down to my university and ask. I go to U of Toronto, btw.
