FS: MSI C2D HD4670 Gaming Laptop, Asus M3N78 + Athlon x3 8450

Only interested in trading for a Lenovo X200s/300/301

MSI EX625-227US NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo P7350

$500 + shipping, was $750 2 months ago

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834152108

I have upgraded the hard drive to a 7200RPM Seagate and have the factory Fujitsu drive in a nice Rosewill eSATA enclosure which I made a Ghost image to in about 45 minutes over the eSATA connection. I will include all of this for an extra $50 or sell separately for $75.

This laptop is as small as you're going to get for a 16" as you can see the screen comes very close to the very edge of the casing. It also weighs in at just under 6lbs, making it one of the lightest gaming laptops around. The only game I tried on it was (Colin McRae) DiRT which ran like glass while it looked like a slideshow on my friend's Dell E6500. Its really a great laptop but I'm going to go back to an ultraportable Thinkpad since I'm going to be biking around with this alot and I really miss the trackpoint.

Full disclosure: The one downside is that the fan is a little loud. I have not registered the machine and will provide you with the invoice so that you can do that yourself. The MSI website states that even without registration the warranty is 3 years from manufacturing date but it seems that only applies to the original owner, so I will let you send this in to be repaired if it bothers you enough. Also, there is one of those "warranty void if broken" stickers on the bottom that was broken when I got it.

$60 shipped each or $110 shipped together.

Only tested these and have not used them at all - comes in the Asus Box with manuals for both.

I like your laptop, gpu-z screen shot of the 4670 please? Also I'm very interested to see if this holds up to the 8800m series. 3D06 should be right around 7000 if things are right. Also, hows the resolution on there? Can you take a general screen shot for reference?

I know I'm being a pain, so if you want to PM me the details I'd greatly appreciate it.

For now, this price is 33% off new, I think that's fair.

I've been keeping my eye on it.

Two more questions, is the drive in the external case the 320GB? How large is the internal drive?
