certainly looks like a tricked-out laptop, but $2240 (minimum) to a zero-feedback seller? i dunno... don't think i could do it without major references.

good luck. :)

Definitively not a good deal. Go to lenovo.com and configure a machine with the same specs (sans bluetooth, which currently does not seem to be available) and you'll see that you can get it for less than $2100 (probably less if you look for coupons, cash back offers, etc.)

Not a good deal by any stretch of imagination.

Take it from a re-seller. Or don't.

Check out the offers of similar machines in the forum's Marketplace...

Regardless of price, buying a laptop from an ebay seller with ZERO history wouldn't seem very wise.

OP and ebay seller are located in the same city. So if OP needs laptop right away and has cash to burn, he could pick it up in person.
