Is anyone looking for a high powered 17" mbp? Highest end 17" they ever made, matte screen, 8gb ram (easy $80 to upgrade to 16gb) 750gb 7200rpm HD AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1GBvram. Anyone? Thinking about making a big switch so seeing if anyone on here had a need for a computer like this, hit me up if you do!

It's something i'd want to discuss with someone who is interested. This computer retailed for 3k, its has the top end components of a MBP like 7200 rpm drive, high end graphic card, 2.5ghz processor, matte screen, 17" which doesn't exist anymore. So, if you're interested, shoot me a message.

buying a computer used doesn't seem worth it to me when you could build a better one yourself for a fraction of the cost.

LOL. My days of building my own computers stopped the minute I could afford my first 17" MacBook Pro.

Building your own computer is a lot of fun, but the reliability and portability of a top-of-the-line MacBook Pro is priceless.

I recently was.. alleviated.. of my 15" with pretty much identical specs (500gb drive @7200 rpm).

What are you looking to switch to? I'm currently exploring all options trying to figure out which direction to go. Leaning heavily towards a maxed out 27" iMac, but not sure what the 2012 refresh is going to hold. Any thoughts?

1 is tough
2 is tougher

I want that laptop though. Trying to sell my hackintosh atm, but don't expect to get near 2000 for it. Oh well. Good luck with the sale
