Hi all,
After long and careful consideration I have decided I don't need two laptops, and the big bright glossy screen on my Sony A190 has tipped the balance in its favor.
So my Asus M6ne is up for sale and I thought I'd offer it here before it goes on eBay.
The laptop is the Australian model M6S00(M6ne). The most obvious difference to US spec is that it has the WSXGA screen at 1680x1050. And a very nice screen it is, better than any non-enhanced screen I've seen.
But that's not the only difference. This M6ne is built, branded and supported by Asus, rather than a third party reseller. I had a slight problem with the keyboard and Asus fixed it for me on the spot. It comes with a two year global warranty, so wherever you are Asus will fix it. The laptop is three months old so there are 21 months left.
The configuration is 1.7 Dothan, 512K memory, 4 x DVD dual burner with Windows XP pro. I replaced the original drive with a 60Gb 7200 drive.
Asus provide it with a full set of recovery disks, Nero OEM suite, Asus DVD, Asus Media Show, Asus Power Director (these are all Cyberlink porgrams) and a bunch of fairly average games. I have added MS Office Pro, Photoshop, Acrobat Pro, Sony Vegas MovieStudio and Norton Systemworks. I can provide backup discs for these, but not the originals.
As well, the drive has the No CD versions of Call of Duty, GTA3, GTA:VC and GTA: Liberty City.
Condition is as new with all orginal packing and accessories. It has an Asus carry bag and mouse. I will provide my original store receipt. I have not registered the computer yet.
Price is tricky. I paid $3300 Australian (which is $2500 US), plus the new hard drive.
I figure I can get $2500 Australian for it here, which is about $2000 US. This about the same as the current US price for a bog standard M6. So the asking price is $2000 and isn't especially negotiable. Shipping to the US will be about $70, and I will split it. I do travel to the States a lot, but won't be there until the end of January and I'm sure no-one wants to wait that long
.
I don't have Heatware, but do have extensive eBay feedback for similar high ticket items - ID is blackwash1.
PM me if you are interested. I have attached some shots and there are more in my review here:
