    Ultra-portable laptop

    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) 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 ). 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
    Possibly the only VR4 that was driven by the current owner before being registered..... & it's a UK car

    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
