17" i7-3720QM laptop, where's the best place to buy?

Thanks. It looked really good out the gate in terms of price but once I added in all the requirements that are defaults on the P170EM (1920x1080, 3720, bluetooth, backlit keyboard) it came up to basically the same price and it doesn't look like dual hard drive is even an option at all. If it was a couple hundred less I'd consider giving up on the second hard drive but they're within a hundred dollars of each other if not less (though I haven't yet really google dived to see if there's any applicable coupons/discounts better than the $250 off the site defaults to).

There is currently a $475 dolar coupon for the dv6.

Well I don't mind paying the premium for the clevo systems that do have my criteria now. The HP really intrigued me and I thought was going to be noticeably cheaper but then once you add up all the little items they charge for, I found I was just wrong about it.

I like to step up the CPU from the lowest end of the line. Figure it'll make the PC last longer (in terms of useability, not durability) and run faster now.
