I am tired of using this winbox.

I'd like to purchase a black book. At the time of purchase, I didn't feel like paying the "Apple Tax" to own an Apple blackbook. I'm willing now.

I bought this only 1.5 months ago. I am asking $1250 shipped, or $1150 local pickup. I am negotiable, but please, no crazy low ballers. Thanks. Specs are below. There are no blemishes or marks. It's a black Inspiron 1420. I upgraded a few pieces in the build process. I also have a Windows Ultimate full version if you're interested to go w/the laptop. I can have better pics sometime tomorrow, this pic was taken w/my 3G just in order to post.

Yea, but I'd rather have a MacBook.... I'd like to sell this ASAP. Just found out my dad has cancer - so now I'd like to buy some airline tickets....

Slight price drop

still steep. Bought a similarly equipped MacBook for 1100 and Got an iPod touch for free. I'd say drop it to 1050 ish If you want to sell it. Just my 2 cents

The ram, hdd, video card, screen size, and many other specs don't line up at all w/the entry level MB.... I'd sell for $1050, if someone wants to meet up locally w/cash. $1050 shipped and paypal would be too low...
