Good deal?

I'm looking at buying a Dell M4400 laptop. Here are the stats

•Motherboard: Intel Core 2 Quad QX9300 (2.53 GHz, 12M L2 Cache, 1066 MHz FSB)
•Windows XP preloaded, upgradeable to Vista or Windows 7
•15.4” Ultra Sharp Widescreen WUXGA (1920 X 1200) Display
•NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M, 512 MB
•4 GB DDR2-800 SDRAM, 2 DIMMS
•250 GB Hard Drive, 7200 RPM with free fall sensor
•8X DVD+/-RW w/Roxio and Power Link DVD
•9 cell battery
•Dell wireless 802.11 b/g mini card
•Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth module
•UPEK Swipe fingerprint reader for mobile precision M 4400
•Integrated VGA web cam w/microphone for WUXGA LCD mobile precision M 4400

I can get it for $1700.00 total and the laptop is brand new. I just wanted to know if anyone knows of a place to get it cheaper. I've looked and it seams to be a good deal.

I forgot to mention that I'll be running SW2009 on this laptop. I know other people in this forum use the M4400 and just wanted a price check.

Looks good, but I would change your HD to WD 300GB 10K Velociraptor and go for 8GB of ram.
