    If u're a gamer or speed demanding, buy a new GPU from dell and a new CPU, otherwise, it's good. Great price with good spec. Congrats

    From your sig,i can see you are gamer-caliber,so if you are using the m15x with current specs for stuff like office work or note-taking,should be more than enough.
    If for gaming stuff,recommend you change your graphics card as a start. :)

    It's okay for medium stuff, use your M17x for major / new releases etc.

    Thank you for the replays. I don't have plans to use the M15x to play. I am getting an extra mobil computer to my son (9 years old).
    but now the on eBay he just send me an open case cancelling the transaction, hi say "The product has water damage, and I will be using the warranty to fix, I will re-sell once it is fully factory refurbished. Sorry for inconvenience "
    What all you think?

    Regards

    You should look elsewhere. IMHO you can look at dell for m11x. They start at 599 right now and for a 9yr old, the m11 would be great and you could add 200 worth of upgrades to get the same price and a brand new machine.
