NewNiceMrMe Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Brand new, unused and only taken out of the box to check everything is present. Utterly mint. £1400+ worth of laptop with it's 17" X-Black screen, 100gb HDD, DVD-RW, 1.8GHz P-M725 processor, 512mb DDR2 (533mhz) RAM, XP Home, external stereo speakers - it's a top end desktop replacement. I'll take £975 including postage by ParcelForce 48. PM me if you want more details. I've bought it on a huge discount because of a deal I've managed to get through a supplier at work and the intention was to give it to my wife at Christmas. This weekend I decided it was best to tell her because she made mutterings about something else she'd like. Bloody typical. So, ultimately, she's decided she doesn't want it and because of the deal I got I'm not going to lose out but hopefully a TSN-er can grab themselves an absolute bargain and I can come out of without having taken a loss on it! Look up the full spec if you want HERE and PM me. I'll send photo's of it if you want them. EDITED TO ADD: This is a big bugger which she'd have only used in the house...so don't be buying this if you're wanting something to carry around with you everywhere! That's a 17" display - not a 10", 12" etc!!!! I'm very tempted to keep hold of it just because it's sooooo cool but it'd be totally surplus and unwarranted. Besides, I have to get my money back to buy her the present she's decided she actually wants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omi Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 How about a swap for... Ermmm... Bugger. Looks identical to Jon's, both visually and spec-wise... I can vouch for it being a wicked bit of kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Yes, it's a bit overstated on price on that site though. You can get them for £1400 if you shop around. I've paid exactly what I'm quoting above and I'll take a hit on the postage, but I'm not too fussed about that. Our 13 year old knows about it and is trying to convince me that she should have it instead of her 'aging' 2 year old laptop....but it ain't gonna happen!

P_G Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'd vouch for the fact that it is a top notch laptop as I bought the A217S in January (80GB instead of 100GB) with entertainment dock. If it weren't for that I'd have it off you, I'm sure you'll find a buyer for that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'd love it, but funds don't permit. And it'd only be a toy, as I have a work laptop, and a desktop of my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I thought it would have sold straight away at this price to be honest. It's a stunning buy and a huge saving. That said, no rush, so I'll hang on to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Well it's looking like my daughter might get her wish at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSE Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Looks like my daughter might be driving around in a 316tiES compact as well Chris, and she wont pass her test for another ten years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Well if someone will offer me £900 for it I'll take the slight loss on it. I'm not going to give it to her because it's a waste and I'm only setting a rod for my own back. If not it'll be getting advertised this weekend.

Omi Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Chris, keep hold of it... Money's tight for some people this time of year. - And it might make a perfect present in the run-up to Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I might well do because it's a bargain anyway. On saying that my wife has rang to say someone at work might want it so it may have gone anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
