    The warranty is not transferrable so you'd get it without warranty.

    But at least the computer is brand new so is it worth buying?

    I think that it is a good price for it. but you have 2 days. so i would search alittle more. what will you be doing on it and what are the things you like and dont like about it.

    Would this laptop be considered a steal if I were to buy it?

    I don't know because it isn't dual core. it has 4 hdd but at 100gb each. it uses the old nvidia 7900m sli. and i don't think it is 3.8 but rather 2.8ghz i could be wrong. i mean it would help alot if you were to tell us what you were going to do on it because then we could see if it fits you.


    ex: gaming alot or alittle. photoshop. muiltmedia. school work. travel. etc

    Daniel, QUIT YER TROLLING.

    Your first attempt was snuffed out by a mod, why bother spamming us again with details from your OWN AUCTION? Look, your name is all over the eBay link. Could you have not been more descrete with your spam?

    And with a grand total of ZERO eBay feedback, makes one wonder if you've come here to hook some unsuspecting buyer with a potential scam. I mean, if you can't be honest about peddling your own stuff, masquerading as a potential buyer of your own equipment, why should anyone trust you as a salesperson?

    Think about that, but as far as I'm concerned, one attempt killed only to attempt another = a great candidate for banishment.

    ok how much do you have to spend. i think it is a very good price for that. it is a steal. but we don't want you to get it and you'll be unhappy with it. and we'll try to get better specs for your price range.

    Testing to see if Daniel replies with a generic question, which would seal his fate as a spam bot.

    You Are The Seller. Stfu.

    Zero Feedback. Selling a USED, non-transferable warranty alienware laptop. Uhh. FRAUD/SCAM?

    Plus, i dont know of ANY AMD that is clocked at 3.8ghz, and it DEFINITELY does NOT have 4 hard drives. Maybe 2x200 in raid 0.
