    My buddy has a w2v that he bought (edit) back in August.
    He has only put about 20 hours use on it, but is willing to sell it to me
    for $2000 CDN , all in price (no taxes etc)

    Could you tell me if this is a good price for a stock w2v with that amount
    of usage.

    That is an exellent price. they sell for 2,500 USD new

    But it all depends on the condition.

    well, it goes for around $2500 American new, so you're getting it for $500 less plus conversion rate... Yeah, that seems fair to me.

    i need a laptop since im moving out this week. its nice that i can watch tv on it, so it can double for a tv (since my new place will be tiny). i heard the w3j is coming with the x1600 and that almost made me ****, but i figure (and correct me if im wrong) that at 2000 bux i cant go wrong with the w2v

    2000 USD would be a bargin for a w2v now your talking canadian you would be dumb not to get it. Its a fast machine and can handle any game out now and for the next couple years.

    I'd say that's an absolute steal! Snatch it up while you can.

    Sounds like an excellent deal, is it a North American version?
