Oh no, I'm not going to fall in the trap of calling this machine an "ultimate" FrankenPad... ...but do consider the following:

If you want a FlexView-equipped, 15" 4:3 unit, that runs like a deer yet idles at around 40 degrees C, capable of running a 64-bit OS properly with up to 8GB of RAM...while having the reliability of Intel integrated graphics...well, it's about all there.

This is one *very* clean Frankie as well. Expect no more than minor wear on the lid and the lightest of shines on the keyboard. No disappointments here.

If you understand both the advantages and the limitations of the given platform, you may want to put this one on your shopping list, because they really don't come much more loaded than the unit that is being offered here and now.

So Frankie m' boy, how do I price thee?

A tough call, even for myself.


I'm open to the concept of *minor* re-configuring (no HDD, RAM, media drive, battery...) but am not going to rip the machine apart in order to offer it at the lowest price imaginable.

Cash, personal cheque, USPS/Canada Post money order, Western Union or MoneyBookers accepted as payment methods. No PreyPal.

NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:

As of May 16th, 2012 we are no longer allowed to ship batteries internationally, with or without the laptop. More on this USPS regulation can be found here:

whoa. what a machine!

two questions:

can this connect to a dock capable of DVI output to a secondary display?

how would a SDD swap alter the price?

[ajkula66]

whoa. what a machine!

Thank you.

My understanding - although I haven't tested this capability personally - is that the answer to your question # 1 is "yes".

As for the second question, the machine is currently pending sale. Free feel to PM me if you'd like one built to order - we aim to please...

Sold to a forum member.

Feel free to PM me to reserve the next one, I can pretty much CTO everything within the limits of the given platform...
