FS: 17.3" Asus G73 w/ Nvidia 460 GTX, i7, blu-Ray, 8Gb, etc.

[folville]

For sale is one Asus G73 with a 17.3" 1080P screen, Intel i7 and Nvidia 460 GTX, which I used for about four months for image and video editing. I've changed professions, and I need to be more mobile, so I've moved to a smaller laptop that I can carry around all day more discretely.

No dead/stuck pixels, perfectly roomy for editing.

A full list of specs is below, and you can read a review of the G73 here (this review is for a version with the older Radeon 5780, however). (http://www.notebookcheck.net/Hands-On-Asus-G73Jh-with-ATI-s-Mobility-Radeon-HD-5870.25103.0.html)

i m interested in buying it.
just a couple question tho.
do you have the warranty? when does it expire?
can you ship to europe? (i ld be paying the fee)
can you make it 1000$?

Price is a bit steep. A new one is only $245 more than your asking price. And for that price, you might as well spend an extra $100 and get the new Sandy Bridge technology, plus a backpack and a mouse. Sorry. :(

to bad x)
good luck selling it, then.
+ just tell me if you happen to change your mind, if you want, i ll tell you when i find the comp i want

[folville]

I would, of course, consider any reasonable offers, but for now, let's put the price at $1,050.

And Asus' global warranty is good into December of this year.

Yquem, I would be willing to ship to Europe, but I'd need more details about where, how, etc. Send me a PM if you're still interested.

Price drop: $950!
