        Great price,,However , change the screen to a WUXGA screen and that will add a bit to it as well as the wireless unit. Don't forget the 64meg Nvidea, the leather case and 3 year in home warrenty,,you quickly end up to the price I paid if not more.

        DeLL is very tricky with their configurations,,very tricky!

        Don't forget the extra charge for shipping!!

        For that, they get this!! :smackbutt:

        And if these are shipped with the Samsung screens, then they get one of these too! :nutkick:

          Yup...there are no REAL deals on Dell's. If there ever appears to be a system for a killer price, reading the fine print will reveal it ain't such a great deal. Either you get a crummy screen or video card (the 8500 is a waste without UXGA, IMHO) OR the warranty is of the 1-year return to depot without CompleteCare thing.

          Once you add up the price of a REAL 8500, then reality always sinks in.

            I still once in a while configure my system as I bought it and it always comes to around $3,800 to $3,900.
            I got mine for $3,297 CDN ,,so I still feel pretty good about it.
            My only wish was the 5400 RPm drive, However due to problems they are having with it , they have dropped it. All drive no matter the size are 4,200 RPM..With that news , I am now somewhat more satisfied that I did get the 4,200 RPM 60 GB drive.

            The 5,400 RPM was only available in the 40 GB size.

            The WUXGA is a must have!! Period!!
