I agree its a warm deal, not nearly as hot as the 13.3" a while ago or staples clearance but definitely hotter than most futureshop or bestbuy deals.

ordered this online sat night, delivered today!! laptop is beautiful. just need to get used to vista now! no problems, got the usb key along with it. smooth transaction, one confirmation email (vs. ordering through panasonic/dell/some other online vendors, took 1 week of verifying and getting the order right)

only downside, is that there is no latch to close it. the panel "just" closes....
