Selling my campus workhorse with wear and tear as you would expect. It's essentially mint on the inside but the bottom and top that were exposed to my bag have abrasions and other scratches ranging from fine to visible depending on light and angle. My phone can't pick up most of the scratches so please be aware that they are there. Battery lasts for hours, unsure of how many as I rarely ever used it unplugged. Build quality is great and it's a shame Vizio pulled out of the laptop market.

Internally it started out with the i5-3317U board, these laptops have cpu and ram soldered directly to the board with no expansion, and I found an i7-3517U board pull and replaced it with that (fan cleaned and Noctua NT-H1 on CPU upon reassembly). I will include the i5 board which was a working pull and is a direct fit as you would expect only requiring some unscrewing and unplugging to swap them. Wireless card was upgraded from the original Atheros card to an Intel AC 7260. It'll come with Windows 10 Pro reset with digital entitlement, unsure what the original key is and I don't have the original packaging.

Specs:
CPU: i7-3517U Dual w/ Hyperthreading @ 1.9Ghz with 2.8/3 Turbo
GPU: Intel HD 4000 @ 350-1150
RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333 soldered, non-expandable
Storage: Toshiba 128GB Msata SSD
Display: 15.6in 1920x1080
Wireless: Intel Dual Band AC 7260 with BT

Notebookcheck CPU Link: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-i7-3517U-Notebook-Processor.74462.0.html

Will come as shown with charger and spare i5 board. Don't hesitate to message me with any questions or concerns I'll be happy to answer them.

$220 shipped with care through USPS Priority or negotiate unshipped price if local.

Very tempting. Just how bad is the wear on a scale of 10 with 10 being horrible?
There are a few visible scratches on the top mostly in one area and color fade on the curved part on the top. If you'd like any specific pictures pm me and I'll take what you want.

Bump and price drop.

Damn... where were you two months ago? I spent $350 on a refurbished piece of plastic called HP Envy for my stepdad...
Bump for a nice laptop! If I had some spare $$$ on my PayPal - I'd buy it for myself.

U need 2 include that HANDwritten username in one of your pics of the laptop.not typed like the 1st pic.
Sorry, not trying to be a dic, but it sounds that way,huh?

I'll have one up in a minute for the nitpicking rule. I could just as easily write someone else's name on a piece of paper if I was impersonating.

Can you host the full size images?
Sure give me a moment I'll add a link to the main post with an imgur album, they're taking a while because of poor upload speeds. I tried to take some better pictures and closeups of any damage.
