Acer TravelMate 8204 WLMi for sale or trade...

[johnequickiii]

Hi... I'm new here, but didn't know anywhere else to go to try and trade or sell this machine.

I just opened it last week, and all of the books and CDs and such are still in their wrapings. I opened the Bluetooth VoIP Phone just to look at it, (I had to, it was interesting...).

At any rate, it is still in new condition. I purchased this particular machine for around $1850, and after I used it, I decided I really didn't like it.

I don't like the widescreen and I don't really like the design of the keyboard. Everything else I love about this system, but I can't stand the widescreen. Also, it has SATA drives, and I wanted to use my 120GB EIDE drive with all of my stuff on it.

OK About what I am looking for. I am willing to part with this system for $1500 through PayPal, or as a trade for something similar.

For a trade, I am looking for something NOT widescreen, but with either 256 or 512MB video, wireless, and good speed. Dual Core or Core 2 Duo 2GHZ should be fine.

I currently use a Dell Inspiron 5150, 2.8GHZ, 1.5GB RAM, and 64MD video, and I really like it except for one thing, limited video memory. I can only have 64MB video, and I really need at least 256, perferrably 512. As for hard drive capacity, I can do with 100, but would really like an EIDE interface so I can use the 120GB I bought.

The system I am trading or selling is an Acer TravelMate 8204 WLMi with the following specs...

Intel® Core™ Duo Processor T2500 (2.0GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 667MHz FSB) (System Requirements Lab rated the CPU speed to be atleast 3.75GHZ)
