    Does it look to be in good shape? You could easily buy it, spend some money on a 7970m and maybe a processor upgrade and have a rather nice gaming machine. ;)

    Eye dunno...seems fishy to me. What sort of transaction is this person proposing? eBay, Amazon? Or do they want you to mail them the cash and they'll mail you the laptop when they get paid?

    I honestly don't think you are getting a good deal ...it's what the m17x r3 base model goes for .....so it's a normal deal ...Nothing amazing...also check out the marketplace

    I agree, take a loot at the Marketplace and Outlet first.

    Unless it's someone you absolutely know and trust, then don't do it.
