    Hi, I do not need a gaming laptop anymore since I stopped traveling and I have another laptop for my job, I was wondering how much you think I could ask / you would be ready to pay for the config in my sig (without OS) (shipped from canada)

    PS : I did not post in the seller forum because they probably do not know what a clevo is

    Depending on how old it is you can probably expect $1100 at best, considering a new M860ETU with a P8700 and a 260M sells for $1350ish. Start at $1200 and work your way down I suppose.

    People in this forum are familiar with clevo/sager.

    I would guess you could get somewhere around $800 if your lucky. Your not including an operating system which would be a big cost for the next owner and your specs are far from maxed out for that model.

    I doubt you could get $1100

    I would say $1000 if you shopped it around long enough, its a good looking laptop

    Is it a TU or ETU?

    What's the difference between a TU and an ETU?

    TU doesn't support quad core CPU's and ETU does.

    Other than that, everything is just the same?

    Yes, pretty much. The TU initially shipped with the 9800M GT/GTS. The ETU shipped with the new GTX 260M. However, both boards can support the GTX 260M with a BIOS update and perhaps a new heatsink.

    Don't know where the rumour started but just to update - the heatsink is exactly the same on each model as shown here. Apart from that, spot on!

    Forget about it xD
    It was discussed further (in the thread linked in my post) and turned out to not be much or a problem.
