That's the exact same model I got for $1000 off at the refurb store, and couldn't be happier. It's a great computer for a great deal.
Some people just have to have the latest, though.
Some also have to have the best too. or like me, simply need to upgrade(once every three years) , a 7 hour battery is and was a great selling point and a supreme advantage over the previous series, not only because of the amount of time, but because of the technology put into the battery itself, an SD slot is nice(would prefer express card), but 3.06 is even better, and you cant get that speed with the previous series
