    Hello everyone, I was curious is selling allowed on these forums? I ask because I have a beautiful m15x that my dad bought years ago.. he buys top of the line computers every year as a tax write off but never really uses them... The laptop is in pristine condition sat in his closet.. I know there is some extreme enthusiasts on this website and rather see it go to a good owner..

    I'm sure someone would buy it if its in pristine condition like you say. Unfortunately you need to be a member for 3 months and have 100 posts on the forum to use the NBR Marketplace. You may be able to sell it on eBay and advertise it here though, or sort something out with someone who is interested in PMs.

    Like I said, GPU Z
    It's entirely probable that you have a 5730M, but the 5850M was the highest end GPU for the M15X at launch
