Hi folks,

As some of you can probably relate to, xmas and new years has been quite taxing financially and the Ute has decided it needs new rear tyres (bloody Australian cars). Sale is reluctant but needs must.

The laptop is a Dell Vostro V131 (a full review can be found on notebookcheck.net (http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-Vostro-V131-Notebook.60602.0.html)) with a few upgrades that really makes it blisteringly quick. It's also very light and the battery life is around 2-3 hours depending on usage.

Specs are as follows;

Core i5 2.4 GHz dual core CPU (with Hyper-threading)
8 GB DDR RAM
250 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD
Intel HD Graphics 3000 GPU
1366x768 TFT LCD with built-in Webcam
WiFi + Bluetooth
2x USB 3.0 ports and 1x USB 2.0 port
VGA, HDMI and SD card reader
Gigabit Ethernet, headphone socket and stereo speakers
Backlit keyboard with media controls
Fingerprint reader
Brand new 6-cell battery
Compact power supply
Laptop comes fully licensed with genuine Windows 7 Professional (it will run Windows 10 fine but I found some tuning apps don't like W10 so I went back to W7) and has Dell endpoint encryption (main disk is encrypted and requires a password to even boot up, this can be removed if desired).

It's in very good condition but has one minor scratch on the lid (about 5 mm in length).

Video demonstrating the laptop performance can be found here: https://youtu.be/PAje9mh3eI8

Looking for £270 ONO (or £250 for paid club members :thumbsup:). Insured postage will be around £10. Will only post to the UK. Please PM if interested.

Jokes about the Ute are welcome ;)

Ute?! Didn't realise you were Australian! What you've got there is a pick-up truck with a thunder pedal

Good stuff, is it an LS3? I miss my LS6 & just down to the 1 stupid engine now. The 3" exhaust cut valve is still hilarious though & would recommend /haz
