Hi - I don't usually post on here, so I hope this post is ok! I have a practically brand-new System76 Gazelle Professional laptop I am interested in selling, that I bought new a couple months ago. See their website below. https://www.system76.com/laptops/model/gazp8
I bought it for development work, so it is a pretty decent machine. I wanted something fast, that could run several virtual machines at once, like my desktop. And it definitely is that. I put in an SSD for the OS and the majority of the files I work with, plus an HDD for archiving and data. (There is no optical drive.) Maxed out the RAM. This machine was built to Ubuntu. It weighs surprisingly little. This machine is super fast. Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit 15.6" 1080p Full High Definition LED Backlit Display featuring 95% NTSC Color Gamut in Matte Finished Surface ( 1920 x 1080) Intel HD Graphics 4000 3rd Generation Intel Core i7-3740QM Processor ( 2.70GHz 6MB L3 Cache - 4 Cores plus Hyperthreading ) 16 GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz - 2 X 8 GB 128 GB Crucial M4 Series SATA III 6 Gb/s Solid State Disk Drive 750 GB 7200 RPM HDD + Caddy Case Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 - 802.11A/B/G/N Wireless LAN + Bluetooth Combo Module 1 year warranty I bought the machine for $1600. I will entertain all fair offers, keeping in mind it is practically brand-new. Please feel free to contact me directly. (Contact info in signature.)
