As a reference the newer gaming laptops that had 260m gtx video cards in them (the next gen up) were going for around $700 and change with clearance pricing. Based on that I would comfortably offer $400-$450 for yours. I know its quite a bit off what you paid but you can never use that number when trying to sell a previously owned unit. If its considerable let me know. TY ---

I was reading a bit online and these seem to have overheating issues, my last Gateway laptop is broken now also due to the overheating issues. Does this ever seem to run very hot, or shut itself down because it gets too hot? I am intetrested, but I can’t sink a bunch of money into another laptop that is going to die in 6 months.
