Specification wise, that's a pretty good deal. I could have gone for it too if I was in need of a new laptop. The native resolution of the 'best' deal is good for the size of the display, so things are gonna look smooth and nice. The screen is smaller than my current, but has a better resolution :p. Too bad they're using watt-hours instead of ampere hours, makes it hard to compare :p.

And the in-home service is pretty hardcore. As far as I know, they actually come home to you to fix eventual problems.

Five pounds is nothing compared to the many many books I carried to class in high school (which was easily close to around 15 pounds). I think I'll manage.

Also, while building it (still haven't ordered it yet, but I've got the page all set up), I noticed it comes with a printer (but no USB cable to connect it to the laptop). I have no need for a printer, as I can just as easily send my documents and such to my email account and print them off on the desktops. So, I unchecked the printer, and it took about 50 dollars off of the original cost. I replaced that with a RAM upgrade (3GB instead of 2GB). Sounds like a pretty sweet deal if you ask me. <3

Or, you know, use the local area network set up printer sharing...

well, I typically take 0 lbs of books to classes, so.

Saying you want a computer with a DVD burner is like saying you want a computer with a mouse or a car with a radio or something. :P

I'm stuck in the past, where such things were optional and more expensive.

no need to act so arrogant just because you repair them a lot.

That wasn't the only thing i was talking about :p. Besides, even if you knew what you meant, there are plenty of people who could misunderstand it, not to mention the sales clerks too, who could say that you'd need to buy the leetest model available to get a non-integrated graphics card like some guys on the internet said you didn't want. Furthermore, calling them non-integrated could make the customer think it's upgradable, which isn't the case.

That's why I clarified it.

But yeah, I like being arrogant now and then, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm right ;).

(the smiley at the end means you have to take this in a light-hearted manner and can't get mad at me :p)
