HI Guys,

As part of my MAc4x4 fundraising efforts some friends have kindly donated a brand new laptop they bought their son from Argos. (who then decided he wanted a Mac......)

Its still in its box as it was delivered and has never been opened, or powered up. Its an MSI MX600 MX, apparently when purchased 6 months ago it was about £525.

There is currently one on ebay for £445, see below. (This is a similar one, not the one I have for sale)

Direct Link...... - Ebay Number - 170952363839

I'm told its a beast of a machine for the price, specs are:

■Display: 15.6 inch HD LED backlight (16:9)
■Processor: Intel Core i5 Mobile Processor, 2nd generation 460M - Chipset Intel® HM55
■Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium
■Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 310M – 512MB
■Hard Disk Drive: 500GB ; 7200RPM
■Memory: 4 GB DDR3- 1066 MHz up to 8 GB
■Optical Disk Drive: Blu-ray
■Video Output: 1x HDMI, 1x VGA
■Dimension (W x D x H): 383 x 249.3 x 38 mm
■Weight: ~2.4 kg (w / Battery)
■Interfaces: 2x USB 2.0, 1x Power eSATA (USB Combo), 4-in-1 card reader
■Communication: 802.11 b / g / n WLAN, Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR, 1x Gigabit LAN
■Sound: 2ch Speakers
■Webcam: HD (30fps @ 720 p)

I'm looking for offers around the £300.00 mark as all the money raised goes to the Mac4X4 fund.

Please PM me if you are interested.

Cheers

I'm very tempted at that price, Andi, but if you're trying to maximise the income why not stick it on eBay and get the market rate for it as opposed to giving us mate's rates?

I'd rather not take the risk mate, the donor has told me what they would like to see for it. I'm not greedy and would rather it go to a good home to someone I know, if it doesnt go before xmas, on fleabay it will go in the new year with a reserve of £300.00, just hoping to avoid listing and final valuation fees......

If you are interested let me know as with Christmas post I'd like to make sure it arrives in time.
