FS- Dell Studio 17 inch laptop... excellent and like new!

Hope this okay to post here.. non arcade related item but if any mod deems it not acceptable for the market place I will remove it. No problem.

Looking to sell this laptop and hopefully can do so without having to do so on Ebay. This is an excellent laptop and is, for all intents and purposes brand new given the conditions. About a month or so back my wall mounted book shelf in my office/studio fell out of the wall spilling books across my desk, which in turn knocked a glass of water onto this laptop. I immediately turned it off but it was too late... fortunately when I bought the computer from best buy I purchased the 3 year Advanced warranty plan which covers the computer under any circumstances. I did not however have the time to wait to get it repaired as I was in the middle of a contract freelance job that required my working remotely on my computer so I immediately bought a new rig and brought this one in to get repaired and just recently got it back. The computer came back to me working 100% and with a brand new motherboard, HDD and keyboard. Does not even have the OS installed on it yet and the install discs are all included. I would be happy to install everything and restore the computer to factory settings for any potential buyer however that would be best done by the buyer so all passwords can be set by themselves. In addition, I bought the computer on 4/21/09 and purchased the 3 year advanced plan so there is still a little more then a year left in the full warranty. Which means you are covered under any circumstances... drops, spills, 1 free battery replacement and more.

This is an excellent computer... I do concept art and used this laptop as my main work station. I ran very heavy programs in tandem from photoshop to Z-brush and it always ran great!

Here are the specs;

--Dell Studio Laptop with glossy 17 inch HD Widescreen display
--Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6400 (2.0GHz, 2MB cache, 800MHz FSB)
--4GB Memory
--320GB Hard Drive
--Slot Loading DVD+/RW
--Next-Gen Wireless-N mini-card
--Intel GMA 4500MHD Integrated Graphics
--Integrated Webcam
--9 cell battery
--Windows Vista Home Premium with SP1 (64-bit edition)
--Microsoft Works 9.0
--Facial recognition
--1 year remaining full Advanced Service Plan (will list benefits further down)


Aside from all of this I still have the original box, all documents, discs (most still sealed) and will include all receipts, service records, etc. When I bought this computer (on 4/21/09) I paid 1,117.15 with the 3 year advanced service plan. This is a great chance for someone to get an excellent laptop in basically new condition with a service plan remaining for a fraction of the price. The case itself shows normal wear and tear but everything else is in excellent shape. The display is beautiful as is the face and keyboard area, especially considering a new keyboard was installed. Since I have gotten the laptop back from the shop it has not even seen 1 minute of use so this really is essentially a brand new laptop, in a used shell.

I am going to accept offers on this for the time being, if there is no interest then I will post a price after I have done some research on what would be a fair asking price for this.

Below are the listed benefits included in the service plan....

ADVANCED PLAN
--Normal wear and tear--Repair costs covered for normal wear and tear, including defects in materials or workmanship and failure due to heat, dust and humidity

--Accidental damage from handling--If you drop or spill anything on your product in the course of normal use the cost of repair will be 100% covered. This could mean either the laptop would be fixed or if parts are unavailable they will issue store credit for the latest, equal/comparable model. Of course, store credit can be used on whatever you want to spend it on.

--Battery replacement-- One free battery replacement if the original one dies. This has not been used yet so this still applies... however battery is still very strong and holds it charge great

--No lemon policy--If your product requires four qualified repairs, you'll receive a comparable replacement

--Power surge repair--Repair costs covered for failure due to a power surge or fluctuation

I will post a bunch of pics up tomorrow when I get home from work, in the meantime feel free to PM with any questions, to make offers or to request specific pictures.

Thanks for looking!
 
Oh I forgot to mention that I would prefer to sell this to a US buyer only at this time, unless it happens to be a well-established member or someone I have dont business with before.

I will also entertain partial trades on this, so let me know what you have.
