    R1. Dual core. Single GPU. It's believable.

    But if you check his other items, looks like he steals and sells whatever. There is no consistency with his listings.

    it says i7 840QM in the description

    EDIT: I think I can say it's a scam! all the positive rating was the user purchases from the other sellers while the negative one was actually related to the M17x! wow thank god I used my head before acting :eek:

    Wow someone bought it.

    Is it curious to anyone else that he only shows pictures of the box and the items that come in the box and not of the actual computer itself?

    Unless I missed a picture, it looks like he's scamming someone to buy the box and not the computer itself.
