I got the same laptop the day before for $1378 with no rebate, and it comes with 512mb RAM, and G4 4200 64mb ram, still a great deal.

I should clarify, I got mine without the mail-in rebate, but I took advantage of the online instant rebate before it expired.

I picked one up also about a week ago....1450 out the door for a 2.4 mobile, 256, 30gb, GF4, wireless 1300, free router, free dvd+rw, wsxga+, etc.

Short of it getting hot on the bottom, I have no complaints about it at all. Going to pick up one of those notebook coolers to help out with that heat issue, but I love the resolution of the widescreen.

I have the 600M laptop and even with the Centrino it is hot or very warm on the bottom..
