    That runs at around $1000 Canadian brand new here, so thats around $850 US or so.

    Converted using www.xe.com, its at 700 € or so. With the rapid depreiciation for technology(booo!!), I'd say around 630 €..

    It's a good computer for basic needs.

    If I recall correctly, it has a built in webcam right?

    It's one of the lower end ASUS laptops, and I think it's being refreshed with the z91n soon.

    Webcam?... I'm not sure to be honest.

    I have not seen the laptop yet. The seller is looking for €700, but I'm uncertain.

    Would you suggest waiting a few months and looking elswhere or buying this now?

    700€ brand new is a good price but if this is second hand and has been used for 6months+ then the price is too high and the seller is being greedy. I think closer to 600 or lower is a fairer price, the 9100 was a budget ASUS machine and is at least a year old in terms of technology, these need to be factored in...why is the seller getting rid of it? Probably to buy a newer more current laptop...a good reason not to buy this one unless its a v.good price IMHO.
