WAY OVERPRICED: Let's see... last month I bought a new Dell for $325 which INCLUDED 3.0Ghz processor, Burner, 512MB Memory, 17" LCD..Oh yeah, INCLUDED the OS. and now MS wants $400 for a new OS?

This is the ULTIMATE edition. The most expensive version. Just like the Corporate edition is now. There will be 2 or 3 other versions, starting at around $120 I believe! Equivelent of XP home edition. 250 for the pro edition. It is the RETAIL version

Yeah Damon, I think and feel the same way as you do. I had exactly the same untimely response as you did! What a joke GE Money Bank is!!! But, I still thought the 31% off the MSRP of $3500 was a killer offer I couldn't refuse! Now, I see that Samsung has reduced the MSRP to $3200, w/Amazon currently selling at 22% off ~ still not as hot a deal, but pretty darn good- I feel that, that price will probably drop another 4-7% over the next month though! So, why not take the plunge then, and just plop it on another card?

I didn't realize the SSD was user upgradeable? In any case, I ended up ordering from Adorama for $1029 (free ship). Now I just have to patiently wait...

Thanks for the info, Donald.I'm still amazed at how the price fluxuates on these sets. The 52XBR6 currently sells on the Dell site for $3000, whereas other places online have it for less than $2300. That's a huge difference. And you never know what the price is going to be at Amazon. It goes up or down $200 or less every day.I'm happy with the price I paid for the set. If it goes down $200 in the next few days I won't cry a river. I could have paid much more a couple months ago.

That's funny, because mine came with Windows 7 Home 32-bit and only 2 gb of ram. I paid $200 for it. Make sure you check with each individual seller to see what they're selling you.

Sorry. I cannot be of much help here, as AMAZON's data column listing says WINDOWS 8-The DELL specs further down the page say 7. Wish it was a WINDOWS 7 CPU or that AMAZON would clear up the ambiguity here. I'd get it if it was WINDOWS 7, for sure.

Ordered mine from Dell with a 15% OFF coupon with free shipping brings the price to $178.48 shipped! Ordered yesterday, got a tracking number today, and will be here on Monday...

I am also quite curious. Especially in comparison to the UL50vt, as you mentioned. The specs are incrementally better in the UL50vt, such as DDR3 instead of DDR2, 500 GB instead of 320 GB, and of course the Nvidida G210 switchable graphics. With the rebate on the UL50AG-A2, it appears there is a significant price difference, though. The UL50vt costs around one twenty five more. So, are these incremental improvements worth the eighteen percent increase in price? I'm not sure. Last week I didn't think so. This week, I'm on the fence, but leaning slightly towards the UL50vt. I also included the Dell 15z in my comparision, since the form factor and weight were very similar, and it had the same processor. But options can bump the price up fast, and the Dell only had a 1 year warranty.

There's a 12% cash back available from LiveSearch on purchases from J&R; - lowered the price of the blue XP, 120GB version from $408 ($399 + $9 shipping) to $360. Ordered one yesterday - shipped today. Site now says "backordered" so I'm not sure of the best current deal (probably this one once they're back in stock. Good luck.

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

I just got one about a month ago. I buy a lot of stuff from Dell, it was in Dell packaging, you couldn't tell the difference. I have a Dell sales rep and asked him how Amazon can sell it cheaper -- they get some special deal.

Best Buy hadn't even heard of it hahaha. All they had were way overpriced lightweights for $1,000 +. I think they really lag on getting the latest computers to market because they have to carry inventory. Amazon can just list the freshest latest computers and get one out to you. Plus Best Buy has the problem of having to replace one of their existing computer models with a new one and that takes time to clear out the old inventory. They also can't get as wide a selection of brands as you can find on the internet.

Does any one know if there's really a big difference with the spec difference of this laptop between amazon and newegg? I WANT THIS LAPTOP by at least the beginning of February! If this sweet baby doesn't come in stock by the middle of January I will`buy it from Newegg before they go out of stock too! And what's with their extra 50 bucks anyway?! Come on AMAZON work with me here! WORK WITH ME!

The XP version is already available at Microcenter locations and their websites as well for only $399.99. In fact, I'm writing this up on my XP Aspire One right now lol.
