Okay whoever wanted pictures here they are.
I have 2 laptops right now as you can see.
I bought the first one from Costco before my trip, and i am returning it because it costs twice as much as 1 from Future Shop with relatively same specs

I bought from Future Shop because it was on back to school mad special.

anyways specs are:

#1
$1399 from Costco...this one is being returned
15.4"
1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo
2GB DDR2 RAM (2x1GB)
nVidia 8400M GS 128MB
200GB/4200RPM Hard Drive
FingerPrint Reader
6-cell battery
LightScribe+webcam+all that crap

#2

$649 from Future Shop

1GB DDR2 RAM (2x512MB)

My wife bought this model last week.
It comes pre-installed with Vista. I don't remember what the CD was in the box, but it was not Vista. Just remember to make the recovery disks as the other post suggested. Apparantly this is their attempt to reduce Vista piracy.

Mind telling how to make the recovery disks? Since the BB guy told me only one chance, and I don't want to waste the last chance.

Thanks!
