    HI people,
    Ive found this deal online and was wondering how it would compare to a new upgraded (i7 2670 900p etc) M14x?

    IS it better/worse. Also any problems or things I should check when buying a second hand M17x?

    CPU speed: 1.7 GHz
    Cores: 4
    Memory: 8 GB
    Hard drive: 640 GB
    Screen size: 15"
    CD / DVD: CD + DVD writer
    DELL/Alienware 15.6" M15x

    # Intel(R) Quad Core(TM) i7-2630QM
    (1.73GHz/6MB cache, turbo boost to 2.9GHz)

    # 8GB Memory 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM

    # 640G 7200RPM Hard Drive

    # Dedicated GeForce GTX460M (1.5G Ram), outperform HD5850,GTX260M, GT555-3G in gaming by 20-30%, most powerful in sub-16" laptop range

    # Genuine Windows(R) 7 Ultimate 64bit SP1

    # 8x SuperMulti DVD±R/RW Slot load optical drive

    # AlienFX® Illuminated Keyboard

    # 15.6 " Full HD (1080p) WLED (1920 x 1080) Display with TrueLife and 2MP HD Webcam/Mic

    # High-Definition 5.1 Performance Audio with Subwoofer

    # Wireless Intel(R) WiFi Link 5300 (802.11a/g/n) Half Mini-card

    Lastly how does this wireless card compare to the Killer N ones?

    Thanks
