The great thing about this laptop is that it can hold two, yes 2 hard drives. This means you can have massive amounts of space on your laptop, and put both drives in raid 0 for amazing speed.

Also, the 8800gts is a very very high end video card for laptops, its one of the best on the market currently. This laptop has also received many awards for being the best in its class, best for price to performance, etc.

PRICE NOW 850!!

If you are extremely interested I will get pics, but currently I don't have a digital camera. I will be able to take pictures with my cell phone however, but its costs me a decent amount of money to send pics so please be really interested .

Random facts - Laptop has an hdmi port so you can hook it up to your 52inch lcd/plasma screen and play games on it =D. It will have ANY operating system you want when you purchase it, and will have a fresh clean install obviously. If needed I can also include any software that you need including but not limited to, Microsoft Works, Norton internet security/anti virus and anything else that you would need.

I am moving into an apartment and don't really need a laptop any more. My apartment is really small and will fit my desktop perfectly. I broke my back in a car accident a year and a half ago, and it was really nice to use the laptop in bed while I was recovering. Now that I can walk again I can use the desktop. Mainly more then anything though I could use the spare cash for furniture and stuff lol.

No you can't get a new one for this price, they are around 1100-1200 new. Did you just try to offer 400? Roffle.

First off the core 2 duo thats in it now is pretty quick, its the graphics card that matters the most for gamers anyways. But for a couple hundred bucks you can upgrade the cpu and or add a second hard drive while your at it. This is a beast of a machine!!

Price LOWERED to 850!!

I could be wrong but most new games, like COD World at War, require a 2.4Ghz processor...

$450

Did i mention i partnered up in a computer repair business. I am not trying to low ball you or troll your thread. I'm just offering what it's actually worth... Anyone who knows anything about computers knows the value drops after the first year like a rock. Seeing that computer technology doubles every 18 months

I say again...I am not low balling you. If you wont accept the generous $450 offer than i will leave you alone. But do not act immature and assume I know nothing about computers...it's just annoying...

Your computer has way less impressive specs then mine. Granted your processor is all of 400mhz faster then mine lol and your video card is horrible. Good luck trying to run any games on that thing maxed, let alone at all. Your telling me your laptop is worth what, 200, 300 bucks tops? I am not the one acting immature or annoying. You are in MY thread low balling me on a laptop that is more then twice the power of yours, gtfo of my thread I don't want your 450 dollars. Grow up and quit spamming peoples posts with worthless information. I am going to let this thread die now and relist it in a couple days.

It wasn't meant for gaming. It was meant to store the photos i take. Unlike you I have a life and don't waste it playing video games like some 15 year old asian kid. Don't make this personal ass hole and get a life...
