    sorry i posted this in NBR market, but i wanted some answers from the asus users themselves.
    would you guys buy this for $900?
    it is a used one, so i'd have to check for any defects if any, which the seller said he bought it in september 2008 and nothing is wrong with it.

    i want to play CoD4 and high settings and smoothly, but im not sure if the T5750 processor is good. would i be able to upgrade this? the 9700gt is also something i dont know much about.

    the G50VT-X1 being sold on bestbuy with 9800 sounds really good too, so i'm not sure if i should spend $900 on this or chip in more for something alot better if possible.
    thank you!
