Hey everyone!
I'm thinking of selling my Gateway P-6860 FX Notebook and figured I would put it up here and see what sort of offers I get for it. I'm not totally sure if I want to sell it or not but I just want to get some price range estimates which will really help in my decision. On to the laptop:
Laptop:
It is about 1 1/2yrs old with minimal physical wear. There are a few scratches on the top lid but they are minor, only visible in certain light and purely cosmetic. Other than that the keyboard is a bit dusty but otherwise it is in great, great condition. It left my desk maybe 3 times in the 1 1/2 years I have had it. Here are the spec's directly from Gateways website:

The only thing that is different from these is that I have upgraded it to Windows 7 Ultimate Edition otherwise it's identical to the above. It comes with all the disc's included and power adapter as well as a Targus 17inch laptop carrying case. The case is in excellent condition as well.
Pic's are just stock images, mine looks identical aside from a few minor and very hard to see scratches on the top lid. Also, mine does NOT have the huge GOW sticker that the first picture has on it. I only have the 2 small side stickers.

Reason for Selling(maybe): Honestly I love this laptop. I really love the graphic's card, the 4gb RAM, the processor and the harddrive size. Also, the screen is just amazing. However, I have found that my changing life and the extensive amount of travel that is coming with it demands a more portable laptop. This one is a bit on the heavy side as the tech specs say and I just need something smaller when I constantly on the bus and plane.
Feel Free to email with offers or price suggestions jpslefty@hotmail.com
Pm's or posts in this thread are fine as well.
Thanks for looking
