17" Laptop for sale

[vTeC]

PRICE DROP - Pick this up for $400, I need the help!

I am selling a Dell laptop. It's about three years old but still at the top of its game. This computer is basically a desktop replacement so it's great for the office and home use. It's fairly large with the 17" monitor so it's not quite the lightest laptop on the block. The specs are as follows. I simply do not have any use for the laptop anymore since I've graduated. There is one simple issue with the computer: the battery doesn't work. It's been dead for quite a while now, and since I've been too lazy to buy one, I just plug it in when I use it. Everything works just as normal..it just needs a battery. It has a pretty fresh install of Windows XP on it which is, of course, legit and comes with the key. I also have Office 2007 installed. Even by today's standards this machine is very powerful and is capable of running most any game. The laptop has it's use and shows wear on the outside but the screen/inside is almost flawless. There are no heavy scratches and the screen is perfect. With a new battery this machine is just as good as most on the market today!

I am selling this for $400. A quick ebay search shows batteries under $50 shipped. For $550 this is quite a machine. Funny how technology works though. This computer was close to $3k three years ago. Anyhow, thanks for looking! I am located in Kennesaw.
