Alienware M17x R4 Laptop
Works fine but due to a hardware upgrade, the battery would drain, even with using standard 180W charger. However I have been able to possess a 240W charger which charges the battery well. Plays well. NOTE: due to prolonged use, a part of the keyboard (around the D key area) was permanently damaged and I have been unable to obtain a replacement. You can use a second keyboard to work around this. PC specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel i7-3630QM 2.4GHz (up to 3.4GHz)
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 980M (was a 660M before the upgrade)
RAM: 16GB DDR3 (off the top of my head)
HDD: Can't remember but I think it was 1 or 2TB
OS: Windows 7
I will also provide a DefenderPad free with the negotiative price, which is a radiation absorber for beneath the laptop. Both 180W and 240W chargers will be provided.
Selling due to not being used and have upgraded.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
