    Check it out, run 3dmark06 a few times. If there are no artifacts and it seems well looked after I would buy it.

    Its a scam for sure, heres what he said in an email to me:

    Hello,
    Thanks for the reply.the laptop is in a very good conditions and just like new because since I got it I dont use it most of the time.I really want to sell the laptop because I need the fund for my project in my current school out of the state in UK,and if you are really interested I can only accept payment through western union money transfer for now.kindly advice back if still interested.regards.
    John.

    No paypal, dont trust!!

    Yup, it's a scam. Never proceed with any transactions through Western Union.
