I wanted to play with one of those new Samsung 128GB SSDs, so I tried to find the cheapest Dell config to get one.
I came up with $1116 + tax - 4% cash back from FatWallet for a pretty nice M1530 config (with an LED WXGA+) using a 30% coupon. Would you make any changes to this?

This seems pretty close to the retail price for the SSD drive alone, so I figure the M1530 is a free laptop.
