    Looks like a nice laptop, it's a good thing it has dedicated video RAM.

    Argh, the agony, there was a note in the mail that said my parts (i'm building a new desktop) are at the post office. So I can't have them until monday.

    Very nice.




    I notice that the seller has only ever bought stuff from ebay before, and that amongst his purchases were a Nokia headset, a vacuum cleaner, a power cord for a laptop, a set of windscreen wipers and a broken hp laptop.

    I also notice that nowhere on the advertisement did he actually say that the laptop worked.



    Have a nice weekend.

    Surely we can trust Ebay to supply only the finest quality second-hand products at low low prices?

    yeah would have been funny to see a broken hp laptop in the list!
    yeah well he was selling 2 other laptops at the time, and is currently selling 2 now...
    I had alot of comunication with him, and believe it to be legit, he said it works, and is reformated upon my request.
    But who knows, ill see when I get it...

    also though I noticed he sets up alt accounts and bids on his own laptops, he did on mine another one he sold, and one he is currently selling, didnt bother me much, only jumped the price $10, but I think that is illegal. And that is not confirmed, but when a guy who registers on ebay that day and bids on "2" laptops from the "same" seller, it looks fishy... And then the same thing happens when he tries to sell more...?
    Guess he wants to promote bidding...

    COMES WITH PRE-INSTALLED MICROSOFT OFFICE, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP AND MORE.

    Look at that! You get your laptop preinstalled with pirated software... but that's not all folks!, he'll also pirate software by request at no extra charge!
