    Ok, I bought Clevo M980NU Laptop with dual GTX 280M Graphics cards for $2,499 few months ago from there webside. But They discontinue selling them. The same unit sold by Sager as a NP8120. The only difference is the NP8120 is the updated version with core i7 and MB and GPU, here is the link http://www.sagernotebook.com/product_customed.php?pid=258533

    Now I decided to keep my old Gateway FX P-7805u and sell the Clevo M980NU. Its only two months old and in great condition. I need your advice on pricing. How much should I sell it for? I will try on ebay.

    Here ae the specs for Clevo M980NU:
    GPU: Nvidia Dual GTX 280M SLI 1GB
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 - 2.53GHz
    HDD: 320GB SATA installed. 2 additional drive bays available for RAID configuration
    RAM: 2GB DDR3 PC10600
    I/O: HDMI x 1, DVI x 1, USB 2.0 x 3, eSata/USB x 1, IEEE 1394 x 1, Express Card 34 Slot x 1, 7in1 card reader x 1

    maybe you should try to get a free upgrade replacement from clevo (M980NU to NP8120) due to the stuttering problems instead of selling on ebay? Some alienware users got their M17x-R1 replaced by the M17x-R2 for the same reason

    Speaking of those, - >> :cool:
    If you're persistent enough it can work. You should also be very persuasive ;)

    As for the price - up to you but I doubt it will be easy to get anything above 1.6-1.8k

    I think this is a great idea. You just have to be patient and keep at it.

    depends where he brought it, some comapanies are simply unable to offer a swapout

    Good luck getting any Clevo vendor to give you a free upgrade.

    You can probably ask $2k OBO for starters. Try eBay.

    I already have a powerfull desktop and another Gateway FX laptop thats get me over 10k on 3dmark06. Clevo is the beast, that thing is most powerful that I ever had. But sometimes I thing is just too much. Pretty much Gateway FX gets me thru all latest games. I checked ebay, and for GTX 280M SLI laptops they want over $2.5k. So I will just put buy it now price for around $2.1k and let them give me the best offers. I hope thats reasonable price. :eek:
