I don't know how old your G1s is. New I'm seeing them from about $1100 bucks. You could build the desktop with those specs for under $600. What type of OS does the desktop have/ if it's not a 64 bit system it won't see or use all 6GB's of RAM. The CPU on the desktop isn't even carried by Newegg anymore. What about a monitor? Is he giving you that or do you have to buy one. 150GB's of Hard drive fills up pretty fast, I have a Raptor, and it was filled up in no time. LOL My 300gb Velociraptor is filling up pretty quick as well, but that's mainly because I've started editing videos.
Personally I don't care for laptops, but unless you bought yours when they first came out with the G1s, it doesn't look like a very good deal to me. |

The laptop is about 1 year old, I got it when they were closing them out at bestbuy. I am just tired of not being able to do anything with this laptop as a upgrade, the GPU is already a ghost...lol the info I gave in the first post is all the info this guy gave me.

Yeah, those specs are pretty bad.

Yeah, I looked at the specs and wondered if the GPU was upgradable. I know very little about laptops. Later on today you should get some responses by folks who know a ton more than I do.........
EDIT: LOL and there was one of them, Carbon, we posted at the same time........ |

Stick the laptop on ebay, and use the money to build a system yourself, the spec on the trade you've been offered is pretty outdated now.
And i know what you mean, laptops are extremely limited in upgrade capabilities, whereas a desktop (primarily one you've designed and built yourself) can be made to your exact needs, and easily upgradable if those needs change. |
