Otherwise you got a very cool new toy bro

My guess is she fried the battery.

Congrats on a good deal!

That could just be done by end user, right? And pocket that cash too.

See knid's reply. It's all bout you, isn't it? Seems it stemmed from tryin to help you in 1st place.

$545, IDK squat bout computers, but I want to get a laptop of my own. Thinkin a HP or maybe a Dell. I want somethin like truckmann w/. a 8hr battery life, but fast. I wanna use it for HPT, pics & vids. Some interestin info in here tho.

i seriously douby you're going to find a better bargain than this thing. It's just so easy to sue and the keys feel right for my fat fingers. I just typed this out in a few seconds! Plus Win7 seems to be very logically arranged, I just needed to get all the previous configs cleared from my mind first
