    I really want a GT60, but its a little out of my price range. So im wonder when we will start to see sellers like Newegg, selling refurbished ones.

    Thanks.

    You could configure a new one from resellers like www.gentechpc.com to reduce the price.

    :)

    Lol, you both really didnt answer my question.

    Yeah ive tried every single reseller but i cant get it down enough.
    I might have to get the 16F3 because of price, but i really dont like the looks of it, it just seems like it looks cheap to me. I like that the GT60 has all brushed aluminum and the LED touch buttons, it just makes it look a lot better and professional.

    Try Ebay??
    But I doubt they have used laptops since it's a fairly new model.
    What is your price range anyway?

    My price range is about $1200, maybe just a tiny bit over.

    Just had a thought, maybe you can talk to the resellers and get them to give you a barebones gt60, or take a ms-16f3 and replace the top cover.

    I don't think there is a real MSI outlet anymore, so its not really possible to get a true refurbished machine. The only way you can do it is by contacting resellers directly. Occasionally there are refurbished MSI gaming laptops on Ebay from the resellers but I've only seen about 2 for sale.

    Your best option is definitely to buy a barebones, maybe consider a ms-16f2, all you really lose is optimus. Then you can get a refurbished or used CPU, RAM, HDD etc.
