Asus G51VX
« on: March 31, 2012, 09:23:15 PM »
Picked up this nice laptop off some guy who obviously knew nothing about laptops or computers in general. This particular model is the Best Buy Brand that Asus let Best Buy sell in their stores last year. It is still a real nice and powerful machine. Specs are as follows:

Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 2.00 GHZ
4 GB DDR 2 800MHZ
Nvidia 260GTX Mobile 1GB GDDR3
500 GB Seagate Momentus Hard Drive (Literally Brand New)
Wireless ABGN Dual Band (Can use both 2.4 and 5 GHZ signals)
Backlit Keyboard
15.6" Display 1366x768 Gloss
4 USB 2.0
Firewire
HDMI
ESATA

Looking for $500
Refurbished units sell for around $700, and usually they don't include the second hard drive caddy. I bought one because the Bestbuy variant only had one caddy. I also bought a brand new power adapter directly from ASUS. This laptop DOES support RAID function. Only thing that would need to be acquired is the Driver Disk. Those are usually around $30 and you can get those from ASUS. Albeit you have to go through hoops to get them. Which I will try to obtain one so you won't have too.

A complete detail list is found here:

Like I said looking for $500

Easiest way to contact me is to call or txt. Or PM on the website I frequent everyday.

Is this the one that was "covered in unmentionable fluids and stains" that was bought from a guy that you could "tell he watched A LOT of porn"?
That's Mr. Deception to you.

I have been cleaning it up. Wasn't as bad as I originally thought.
