Is that the price with the software? If so what was the price for just the system?
Definitely a sexy machine

Nice!
I got mine a few months back and I was a little more conservative.
Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 2.1GHz
4.0GB RAM DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M 512MB
Dual Layer DVD Burner
Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
160GB Intel X25 SSD
15.6" WXGA LCD
Notebook PC was about $800 + $500 for the Intel X25 SSD (a hair under $1300)
I use HDMI out to my 24" HP LCD Replaced my Core i7 Beast of a desktop. So I just pull 3 cords and go when I need to, usually about once per month.

I like having a laptop because it allows me to have freedom. I cannot stand being confined to one place while designing.
I was about to go for the 18.3" screen but the laptop itself was just too large. I'll probably invest in an external monitor at some point in time.

I have three of the 24" versions of these: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?inv...3W8H-R&cat=MON
They are super fantastic! Just make sure you have a monitor calibrator. I opted for a cheapie Huey calibrator and they are all sorts of sexy LCD's now.

RossMan,
I customized the laptop to include basically everything top of the line. I noted earlier in the thread roughly how much I spent on the laptop.

You should get one of those 50" LCD TVs someday so that you an hook it up to your laptop unless you already have one.
