So this is more of a maybe sale...

Considering selling my Dell XPS,

It's just over 2 years old and (reputation aside) have not had one problem with this laptop! It's still running strong and I still think its a fantastic gaming machine! Has crazy lights that can be turned to different colours on the lid, sides and back.

Stats:

17" 1900x1200 glossy screen (beautiful)
Core2Duo 2.00
2 GB RAM
220GB HD
The highlight of this laptop is the powerful 512MB Geforce 7900 GTX card!

Comes with all the jazz, wireless and all that. (running on XP)
Also I can leave software on there (photo shop, premier, games, litterally tons and tons of software.)

I am open to offers. Can email me at [email protected]
Thanks

Had a few offers but not really anything worth taking.
I have seen similar specced laptops to this selling in Yongsan for around 1.4 mil! Similar laptops still sell in England for over 2 mil.

Here is a post for anyone interested in the specs and the look of the machine:

Same model but my one is the smaller Core2duo.
Thanks

I'd go as high as 700,000 won but you are never going to get 1.2 - 2 million for a 2 year old laptop.

1.2-1.5 million won refurbished/new on Gmarket.

Would consider it for under a mil, but we're intent on buying a new one. It's the warranty and the A/S that's pushing us that way.

Our Canon scanner went on us over the weekend, and it's still under warranty, and currently being fixed by Canon (should get it back next week). So warranty does come in handy every so often.

In any case, a wonderful notebook, though a bit pricey. Good luck with the potential sale.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I did not really expect to get anywhere in the 1.2-2mil range. Was just interested to see what people would offer as this laptop is great and I am not that urgent to sell it.

As for the warranty, I guess things can go wrong with anything, but like I said, I have never had a problem with this in the time I have owned it.
Living in Korea, it's just as easy to take it to Yongsan and pay the tiny fee they would charge to sort the problem out. (depending of course)

Well I guess I will leave it open for some more offers for now.
Current highest bid 700 ^^

More info(Same as mine but mine has a better Graphics card):

The link you posted has 4GB RAM and 250GB hard and same graphics card (correct me if I am wrong but I see its same except that is Go)
what if I wanna buy it without any windows and office etc.? You can keep windows and office CDs to yourself.

Yes mine has 2GB of Ram and the HD is 240GB.

The graphics card on mine is the one up from this. The GTX.

I dont actually have all the CD's and everything, just the installed software so of course I can sell without the software if you like.
