    What's this thing worth if I sell it (buying a GT70). I just finished ME3 on it yesterday, so it's working fine.

    The Good:
    It's got a 4GB RAM, and the T9300 processor.
    Also have a 500 GB primary HDD, and use the old 250 GB in the second bay.

    The Bad:
    The front left edge of the case isn't secure. You can separate the two halfs a little. The original power supply works great, but is held together with zip ties. I only put the 500 GB HDD in it because I could hear the needle dropping on the old 250. The 250 works, but I wouldn't rely on it. As tends to happen on these laptops, if you don't keep the vents/fans clean, it will overheat.

    This is a well used laptop. The pictures below are from today (as I typed this post). There are bound to be other blemishes I didn't highlight, but those are the big ones.
