Seems like a good price since your getting Office and a three year warranty. You should note it uses the T7100 Core 2 Duo not the L2500.

MS Office 2007

Make sure you are getting the COA sticker for it. Otherwise, it's an illegal installation and you are required by law to uninstall it.

University of North Carolina is going to give you stolen software? Unless you have a specific need, Open Office is just as good and free.

Ofcourse not. But I don't see him mentioning anything about buying it from his school, UNC, if that's where he goes.

If you google the machine type that's where it takes you and the OP is in NC.
