the i3 i posted above is all you need, and they're doing a lot better as far as the amount of stupid crap they put on the thing.

BIG HINT: when you go to the store to pick it up
-- YOU DO NOT NEED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY
-- YOU DO NOT NEED A COPY OF McAFFEE
-- YOU DO NOT NEED CABLES OR ACCESSORRIES

they try to upsell you them 3 or 4 times, just be confident and don't agree to extras.

I totally disagree if your someone who doesn't want to do their own troubleshooting and follow-up repair. Now, for the average tech person who doesn't mind popping a palm-rest off or reapplying thermal paste, sure, don't buy anything warranty related.
