    I no longer have need for my 17R3 but not sure what to ask.

    17R3
    6700HQ
    980m 4GB
    4k Display
    16GB DDR4
    256GB Samsung 950
    1TB SATA3 Samsung 850

    No problems with it.

    i dont know ... not everyone can afford of buying a laptop with that amount of SSD ... that increase the price a lot and from the buyer side of view. it probably dont worth the price. is better to remove the ssd and put a normal hdd and sell it at 1000-1200. and keep the ssd's for the future laptop

    Perhaps when you do your listing mention that you might be willing to part out the aftermarket SSDs if you have any trouble getting bites. Some people will not want the aftermarket parts and some will so you're gonna have to test the waters a little. Also I hope you have more than 1GB on your Samsung 850 :p

    My suggestion would be as others have said, to remove the SSD and just put in a normal HDD.
    Looking on eBay, similar laptops are selling for ~$1000 new with a 970m in it + 128GB SSD. I'd say to list it with a reserve set at whatever price you're wanting and leave it to be an auction with an option to buy it now at that reserve price. :) Good luck!

    I think at most 1000usd. But even thats a stretch. All 1060GTX laptops are faster and start from 1400usd new.

    About 900- 1k was what I was thinking. I have no use for the SSD if I remove it so I was planning to just include it.

    Thanks.
