Guys, i've updated my config as much as possible. My friend told he will try to get more discount than earlier he said. So i've upgraded and send my config to him. He will update me today with actual cost. If it wont come under 55K(after disc), i need to change the config again. Here i want to change either of them.

i) Screen to default one or

ii) Graphic card to 1GB

Which one i should go for? Please suggest.

You know you cant change the GPU or the screen once you purchase the laptop so dropping both is equally sad . :|

I would suggest you to drop the graphics card upgrade. Switch back to 525M.

Also, does anyone know if the discount will be more if an order is placed for 4 laptops at once?

Ok. Thanks Buddy. I will drop the GPU as for me watching movies is more important than gaming.:)

Sorry for Hijacking the thread..

I am looking for a backpack for my soon to arrive XPS 15..

Have an eye on two bags - Targus Wanderer and Belkin 15.6 Core. Can anyone confirm here whether XPS 15 will fit in the Wanderer?

And any suggestions for other bags is welcome. Some backpack with room for extra stuff like a few clothes is preferred. Thanks.
