I am hoping it gets here Monday!

 I bought the 800 series with the upgraded processor, and 512mb video card. I stuck with the 500gb drive, but HP credited me $100 bucks because I asked them to price match me on a model.

 It was actually a funny conversation. I found an 816 online for around $1550 new. I was paying ~$1690 (student discount). I asked them to price match but was told that because my model was custom build they couldn't. I said that in that case, it would make more sense for me to cancel my order,  and order the Ready to Buy 816 for $1800 and then have them price match it for $1550. She asked me to wait on hold while I presume she did some math or something. She came back offering me $100 credit to keep my current order which was fine with me since the difference between the 816 and my comp was a little larger harddirive and then software differences which I didn't care for.

So I might use that extra 100 bucks on a pocket harddrive or something.

In any case, I am very excited to get my 800 soon. I've been using my Dell 9100 Laptop for the past 5.5 years as my main computer and she's starting to get a little tired.
