mawby Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I've had this laptop for a couple of years now. It was top of the range when I got it and is still very powerful in laptop terms. I don't use it for gaming any more; its primary use this year has been doing the forum upgrade testing. That was until the graphics card died a few weeks ago. I finally got around to getting that fixed this week and it's now time for it to go to a new home. The laptop is in excellent condition with no marks on the screen and only one very minor scratch on the case next to the keyboard. The machine comes with :- 2GHz Intel Core2 Duo 4GB 667MHz DDR2 Dual Channel Memory 160GB HDD 512MB Nvidia GeForce Go 7950 GTX Graphics Card 17" Wide VXGA 1920x1200 Screen Built-in audio, modem, Intel Wireless Card and Bluetooth DVD Recorder SD/MMC-ms/Pro-xD Memory Card Reader Windows XP Disc Windows Vista Disc (best used as a coaster if you ask me) Akasa Laptop Cooler A load of discs, cables, manuals, CD case, other stuff which came with the laptop. I will need to securely wipe the machine before it goes but I will install XP and get it fully updated if the buyer wants. If you want Vista installed... well you'll have the disc. I've had Windows 7 installed on it before and that worked great but I don't have a copy I can sell with the laptop. I've had a look an ebay and can find lesser spec'd machines for around the £500 mark, so that's what I'm asking for this. That includes delivery.

Cerikbok Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I can vouch for the quality of this laptop. One of my mates back in the US has one and has had it since they first came out with this model. He has had many desktops fail and several laptops but this one seems to have stood the test of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Did you sell this Mawby? My better half is after a laptop so I'm snooping around for nice second hand ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 I didn't. I shied away from ebay after reading many of the horror stories of buyers telling Paypal the item doesn't work and them just giving them their money back! The laptop is currently being used for forum-hacking investigations but once that is finished it will just sit there collecting dust again.

mawby Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 This is still for sale. I can bring it along to Supra Pod if anyone wants to see it working or avoid having it broken in transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mawby Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Sorry nope, it was used for some time playing WoW with no problems but other than that it's either used for surfing or forum related stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
