    Hi guys.

    I ordered an Asus VX7s (used) that should arrive in the mail at the end of the week and I have a few questions, that I have not been able to find with the search as there are not many threads about it.

    The seller has it listed fitted with an i7 2630qm and a gtx 560m. I cannot find any model (with google) that has a 560m and that i7. All i7 2630 are equipped with the 460m.

    Was there ever a model with the 2603m paired with the 560m gtx? Or the guy mixed one of them up? unfortunatelly he is not much a tech savy so he cannot tell me as the laptop has no OS installed on it.

    Also he said that the battery is dead and will need to be replaced.

    Are there any known flaws on this model that I should look for when opening the box?

    The delivery guy said I can check the product before paying for it but he cannot wait so much as I need to install a working OS. So my other question would be, how should I do a full check of the laptop in around 20-30 mins?

    If there are any owners here, could someone tell me what are the ratings on the power brick, just to make sure the one the laptop has is the right one, as opposed to a fake one/wrong ratings? Or maybe a photo of the power brick.

    The specs (mentioned by the seller) are: i7 2630qm, 8gb ram @1333 mhz, 1tb hdd (dunno if ssh or regular hdds), gtx 560m 3gb, blu ray player and the rest.

    I paid 900 euros for it which I find a good price considering new in the shop it's close to 1600 euros.

    LE: Are there any visual details that could help me find out if it's the vx7s or the vx7?
