Haven't seen you in a while, ironman! I cannot fathom why Lenovo would put such a powerful laptop in such an ugly shell. Good luck with the sale!

Because Lenovo cares about build quality and performance, not appearance. If there was no limit cost-wise, I'd always own a Lenovo.

They also have awesome warranty/support.

Alright, that's legit. Though, I recall a buddy of mine knocked a thinkpad off a desk and destroyed it. Given, that was an older model, and they've likely continually bettered things. I would kill a man for them to smooth some of those edges though.

Price updated. I just looked up what a similar setup would cost new and the previous price was only 100 less... So this feels like a more reasonable price. Especially with shipping

I'm not sure where you're getting this information, but the part about build quality (unless you're talking about interior) is far from true. I own a X301 and I can attest to the poorly made shell. It's all cheap plastic.

They're not durable. In my school environment I've seen laptops (all of us are required to use Lenovos) fall from chairs that are barely 2.5 feet off the ground, if that, and get completed demolished.

Not trying to bash the product being sold either, just offering a different outlook on one aspect that you've stated that I believe to be false. It's a great laptop otherwise!

Yeah. But I needed it sold and no one was biting at the other prices because similar laptops on ebay didn't sell for much
