When shopping online always look for coupons!
Comes out to $964.99 after applying coupon code NBSW451897 ($200 off) + Free shipping.
So that's $35 for the convenience of picking up right away. If you don't need it right away, I'd buy it online and either save myself $35 or upgrade something.

xpython,

Thanks for that coupon! I have tried coupons before but always get frustrated because I have a hard time finding the best coupon sites. What is the best coupon site? My new configuration on HP is (because I didn't really want a bluray anyway):

* Espresso Black
* Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
* Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53 GHz, 3 MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
* 4GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
* 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
* 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 4650
* 17.3" diagonal HD+ High-Definition HP LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1600 x 900)
* LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
* Webcam Only
* Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card
* No TV Tuner w/remote control
* HP Color Matching Keyboard
* 8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
* No Modem

Let me know what you think. I don't want to wait until black friday!
