Do you mean the page where you select the RAM, HD, etc.? That's where I was. I was only offered the one battery and one warranty option. If they put more options elsewhere, then their website setup is f***ing stupid.
I am also amazed at the delay you have to suffer. I ordered my last Dell laptop on a Monday. UPS delivered it on the following Monday. That is the turnaround time I measure everyone else against.

I agree that a lot of these online sellers make the order process painful and the right information is not always there, or on the right screens where you need it. Partly, I suspect that it's on purpose - they want people to just make quick decisions without researching, so they pick the "recommended" high profit selections, and throw in some of the unnecessary accessories and software that are high profit add ons which aren't even needed by most people.
But I think you pretty much see that on all the major online computer makers.
The frustration I face is that it will be quite a while before the order ships. (Right now it says 7/12, but there have been reports that those ship dates can often slip.)
