General J July 30, 2009 Share General J Member July 30, 2009 (edited) I am looking to sell my laptop. I love this thing as it has enough power to do just about anything, while still having the ability to pick it up and run. I have run the Crysis demo with decent settings, Far Cry 2 with mid range settings, BF:H and CS:S full out with no problems. System has Power4Gear power settings to extend battery life. Battery lasts quite a while on "battery saving" setting. But I won't lie! "High Performance" setting eats through the battery in about 1 - 1.5 hours while surfing the net and doing general tasks. You could do some short term gaming on the battery, but I have always used it plugged in. Laptop also comes with the Asus backpack and Asus-branded logitech MX518 mouse. I will ship my copy of Far Cry 2 with the machine as well. Here is the Newegg link. I paid $1,699 new on 8-23-08. Asking $1,100 shipped. Trying to judge how much interest there is for this here. Will probably end up on Ebay if no one is interested. I am looking to sell this to buy a netbook. I am looking at an Asus 1005HA, but I am still researching. I have hit a point in my life where I need less gaming and more mobility. PM me if you are interested. *EDIT* Mine looks exactly like the display minus the "Alone in the Dark" sticker.

General J August 15, 2009 Author Share General J Member August 15, 2009 Thanks Thrux. Shameless bump by me. Still hoping to sell this. I have it listed on the local Craigslist, but it seems like there are more bots on there than people any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LaW]Maverick August 17, 2009 Share [LaW]Maverick Member August 17, 2009 I have a friend that would definitely be interested, but it's a little more expensive than he was wanting to spend. It's a better laptop (by quite a bit) than what he's been looking at though. I know he wanted to keep the price lower though If you think about dropping the price a bit (which I know is painful for that nice system), let me know. Heck, if I had the money, I'd replace my laptop with that one. Mine's 3 years old now (a little over that actually), and my old AMD Turion64 processor is feeling it's age a bit..not to mention the max of 2GB of RAM kinda sucks.

ThruX November 24, 2009 Share ThruX Member November 24, 2009 Did you ever sell this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General J April 21, 2010 Author Share General J Member April 21, 2010 No, I didn't sell it. I never really caught a lot of interest, and decided to hold on to it. Looking at the new Asus G series notebooks, mine looks like a lamb. And, they have come down in price for just about the top of the line.

[LaW]Maverick April 21, 2010 Share [LaW]Maverick Member April 21, 2010 I have a ASUS G72 and love it--runs Dragon Age and Fallout 3 with the settings cranked. I tried Crysis on it too, runs nicely. The new G73 sells for $1,199 at Best Buy and is pretty killer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
