    I am thinking about buying this computer from craigslist and the seller said it is a "Advantage PC" custom built laptop and i was wondering if anyone could confirm or deny this. Also a web site would be nice.

    Thanks a lot

    if this is the correct laptop wjich i think it is this guy is a lier.

    He says it has a 17" WXGA+ screen, 256MB NVIDIA® GeForceTM Go 7800 GTX and a 2.0 Intel® Pentium M processor.
    So now that I know that it is a 15.4" with a 6600 i have to figure out if it is still worth the $790 he wants for it. What do you guys think

    That is indeed the Z71v. Not one of the prettiest ASUS laptops, but it's an awesome deal for the price!

    If he infact IS lying, would you really like to be doing business with a liar?
