    i7 2820QM processor
    1.5gb 460m Nvidia card
    750gb hdd
    8gb ram
    17.3 in 1920x1080 screen 60hz, non 3d version.

    Only had for 3 weeks, and properly( I think) installed all the drivers, since I havent had any bsod's for a few days now.

    It still has 2yrs of warranty left if that matters at all.

    If I wasn't supposed to ask this question in the m17x forum, I apologize in advance. Just curious on its current worth.

    In USA the resale value is about 1.8k $ for that spec.

    In EU and Asia the resale value is about 2.8k $ as the computer cost nearly double as much outside USA.

    Ah, thanks Katalin, i'm still getting used to the forums itself.


    It was won via a contest. This is the link to the original image of what I "should" have gotten. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-D1YDEEzbais/TXDS1qvDklI/AAAAAAAAFG8/EQxv3bER2Cg/alware.png

    You could slap in a 6970M or 6990M yourself when they come out to get back up to the levels of two HD5870 and have less driver issues.
