Dell Precision M90

[RTA]

So, my gut is telling me not to, but I've always been an impulsive shopper. I've got a rig I built myself, C2D Q6600, XFX 680i LT SLI mobo, 8GB ram. I've been running it on Craigslist along with a 60GB PS3 with a few games and accessories, desperately hoping someone will consider the two things for a Macbook Pro, or a newer Macbook. Today I got offered a Dell Precision M90, 2.0GHz C2D, 17" WUXGA screen (1920x1200), 512 graphics card, DVD/CD Burner, 4GB RAM and a 100GB 7200RPM HD. I know the line is discontinued, and it's two years old. But...did I mention I'm impulsive and a gadget freak? But, since I have no money and a trade is the last chance I'm going to have to get a decent laptop for a good while I'm being as careful as I possibly can. My gut tells me not to do it, but I just don't know. Anyone here have experience with them? Are they decent enough to make a trade worthwhile? Any advice would be much appreciated, whether yay or nay.

mmm...don't just jump at it. You don't know what condition it's in. You should look at it first. Then decide.

hey PTA

i owed and sold M90 about 4 months ago, and being informed that its graphic card just broke for no reasons at all ,and i guess the warranty was long gone, it was a ok laptop , great for a lot of stuff, but it just doesn't worth it , so u r losing money from this trade actually ,

 

and m90 is not fully compatible with mac os x ,

 

so plz reconsider

 

Cheers
