This was a very expensive laptop when it came out, and i originally bought it to use as a gaming computer (my rig at the time needed A LOT of work).
Please note the laptop also has a LED Glow function were the words XPS on the lid can glow, the side vents can glow, the touchpad, and the speakers. There are something like 20 different glow colors!

Backpack is hard to do a pic of, may wana google XPS backpack
So again i will take a swap, a swap with money, or a direct sale im trying to keep this local but if one of you far offs want it, ill certainly mail it off.
Its possible to swap the VGA card in this laptop with a 7950 GX or something like that (at the time that customization was very expensive) but the upside of swapping it is 512 Mb of Vram and a faster GPU.
I gaurentee this laptop will run most if not all valve games ( HL2, CSS, TF2 and so on) and most medium end games, it would struggle with crysis however...
The laptop has been treated very well and has not a single mark on it, a sign of my deep love for it.
