Hello,

So this kid (we're all children of gods) has a car ticket to pay, and if he pays within the next 3-4 days, he pays a lot less, hence he's selling his laptop (he made the advertisement yesterday). I dropped the price to 400$

Main concerns:
Laptop: 3 years old
Battery does not work


Specifications:

Asus Rog G73J

CPU: intel core i-7 920XM
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870
RAM: 8GB
Hard 1TB
Display 17.3 inch

Please post your opinions. The guy lives 1 hour drive from me which is pretty close and I have to decide within the next 10 hours.


Thanks to all feedbacks including those outside these forums, I decided to pass. However, here is a new one:

I'd say no unless hes willing to drop the price closer to 250 or 300

If he lowers to 250, do it.
Else, don't.

Not worth it at that price if the battery don't work and there could be other issues not discovered yet. Hence the computer sitting in my room that's more looks then function. :3
