This unit is five months old, barely used it, probaby only 5-10 times as i was going to use it for school but didnt need it for any of what i had expected for my classes. There are virtually no scratch marks or other signs of use. It's a wicked little laptop with amazing capabilities for it's size and cost. I've seen people run WarcraftIII on it, Halo and other games quite smoothly. It's a great little on the go unit. Incredibly fast boot up times as well!

memoryexpress is selling it for $429+GST so about $450 total
laptopdepot.ca sells refurbished base uits with only 512RAM and 8GB solid state harddrive for 299+GST

This laptop is in like new condition, plus the white ones are hard to find!

Asking price: $400 firm

I don't mean to take away from a purchase here but, you may want to lower the price since you just said you can get one for $299 cause people can always go and buy themselves a 250GB 7200 rpm HD ($59) + 2GB DDR2 ($30) for a total price of $390.

that would be a fair assumption except upgrading this laptop is not as simple as your run of the mill notebook due to size constraints. you have to remove the motherboard and pretty much all the guts to do it, so it's a bit beyond the average user's comfort level in most cases....also max ram this guy can be upgraded to is 1.5G. I'm not 100% sure on the hard drive upgrades and what sort of headache that entails but i would assume again it's a bit more user UNfriendly than your larger notebooks...but to someone who likes a challenge or is willing to do it yes that would be an option.

I'm in no rush to sell and may adjust the price if i have a change of heart and am really trying to get rid of it; or i may end up keeping it or giving it to my gf or something.
