    I just bought a slightly used U30SD-XA1 on eBay for $400.

    Here are the specs

    2ND GENERATION i5 2410m SANDY BRIDGE CPU / MOTHERBOARD AND NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M graphics with 1GB DDR3 VRAM AND SWITCHABLE INTEL HD 3000 ON-BOARD GRAPHICS and 8 GB RAM

    It also has 7.5 to 8.5 hours battery life.

    How much did I overpay, and is it a good laptop? Reviews were sort of hard to come by

    Thanks
