Dnizzle Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I want to sell my VAIO and just get a real Mac notebook. I bought it in January for $2100 at BestBuy, i love it, but I would rather have a Mac notebook instead of this hackintosh, though it runs great. The memory has been upgraded to the maximum 1.5Gb. I'm looking to get like $1500, but will negotiate. Will provide pics to anyone interested. I think the price is pretty fair considering it has accidental damage coverage through BestBuy and the starting price of any notebook in this series is $2099 and its in great condition. Will restore to Windows if wanted. Everything works on it in OS X86 except for the biometric fingerprint scanner and internal speakers, battery life reduced to around five hours. Will ship the Sony provided Vista Business upgrade disc with it also.

JustBrowsing Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 As much as I hate to say it - it really seems that you over paid for that computer; I'd be shocked if you get $1,500 for it. $2,000 and not a dual core processor? I've seen those computers at Best Buy, and one of the reasons for them being so pricey is because of the portable screen size; regardless ... I really don't think you're going to get that for your laptop. Good luck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnizzle Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 How is that overpaying? I bought it when it came out and that what it costs just like that what the new models cost now? The whole point of the computer is for portability and battery life so it not supposed to have a dual core processor. I said my price is negotiable and really I want to trade for a Mac Book.......

Colonel Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 You really did over pay for that thing. I bought my Core Duo MacBook in June of 2006 for about $1200. I cant belive you paid 2K for a 1.2GHz Core Solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnizzle Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Thats not the point at all!!!! The notebook you guys have are not ultraportables which cost much more than what you have. Even right now its listed as being $1,931.98 on Sony's website. The whole point is NOT to have a Core Duo when you want battery life and you guys are really pissing me off because this is a BST thread and now its turned into ignorant people trying to tell me I overpaid for a computer when thats how much it retails for. Why don't you guys "The Pricing Crew" go around telling other people that have this notebook the same thing, I'm sure they will be just as annoyed especially if all they were trying to do is sell it. Thats like says I spent $30,000 for an Acura TSX (which only come with an I-4) when I could have bought a Honda Accord V6 with navigation for the same price!! They are just not the same.
