    I have a local person who is selling his GE70 2OE-017US. He is asking $600 but obviously I would not have the warranty. He purchased it as an Amazon warehouse deal and barely touched it, cellophane still on screen.

    Anyone have any input?

    Sounds like a fair price. It all depends on what you plan on doing on the computer, it may easily handle it or it may struggle.

    This product may still have warranty.
    You can get the SN and contact your local MSI office directly to verify remaining warranty.
