| 1136344 | 2010-09-11 00:26:00 | Well for me .. the issue is niggling bits. Is the screen good or abused? So maybe avoid tablets. If you don't buy too old they should be functionally ok thou. Price is sorta ok thou. No idea about new or mint laptops thou. IMO if you want POWER get a PC. A POWER laptop isn't gonna be light and thin as. You might consider getting a POWER PC and a thin laptop for admin work and presentation work with a projector etc ... |

| 1136346 | 2010-09-11 00:33:00 | Yeah that may well be the case - but he is right; cost price for this is $2800+ GST and it's a bit of a weapon as notebooks go, if it really is in original condition and the warranty is still applicable then it's a bit of a steal. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1136347 | 2010-09-11 00:47:00 | Drive there to pick up or use safe trader. Better than losing a few grands worth! Most of the sellers pictures does not look genuine. Unless he's got a indoor studio. |

| 1136348 | 2010-09-11 01:00:00 | Yeah he has grabbed the pics straight off the sony website. | wratterus (105) | ||

Unless he's got a indoor studio. Probably just pulled them off the website. Not everyone has a camera or can be bothered taking photos. Although, in this case it's odd - if he can afford this he could afford a camera of some kind, and it would greatly improve the authenticity of his auction. Then again, since he is wanting it picked up it's probably not fake. (or maybe he waits in the bushes to crack you over the head and take your money) |

| 1136350 | 2010-09-11 01:41:00 | Thanks for the help guys, I'm mainly just wanting something to play games and do a bit of programming. I'm just worried about weather its a real deal or not, I guess i could get a friend down there to pick it up for me rather than post |
