Hi, I need some money to finish up my widebody, it is costing me way too much (don't ever do a widebody if you don't have 20k+ to blow on your car.)

So I am selling my Sony VAIO VGN-A290 laptop with all the extras. I bought this laptop almost one year ago from SonyStyle.com, and all the extras were purchased from there also. Here are the specs on the laptop:

There is also the AV Dock which can be used as a TV tuner, video recorder, and digital amplifier. The sound system is pretty decent too. The best thing about this computer is the screen size. I run the max resolution which is 1920x1200 and it is just amazing. I can view 2 full webpages on the screen.

This computer is in perfect condition, NO problems at all, never ever had one problem. I like things to be perfect, and when the palm rest finish got a little worn (see pic), I had the whole palm rest/keyboard replaced by Sony, and physical worn damage, like scratches, isn't covered by the warranty. I just had this replaced a few days ago at the Sony service center in San Diego, and it cost $300 to do, but now the computer is just like new, all fresh. I just reformated the hard drive, and I installed all of the original software and the original Windows XP Home Edition, I haven't modified one thing in the software, it is just the same as the first day I turned on the computer. This computer is like new.

Here is everything I will be selling in one package, you got to have all the goodies with this laptop. I have all of the paper work, cd's, and boxes that came with everything. :thumbup:

1: Sony VAIO VGN-A290 Laptop with AV port and speakers.
($2,799).............. when purchased.

2: One more extra Sony AC adapter, this adapter is made to plug directly into the computer instead of the regular adapter which can be plugged into the computer or AV Dock. (This extra AC adapter is the travel one and it is smaller, easier to carry.)
($99)

3: THREE extra Sony batteries, yes it's good to have if your on a long flight.
($199 each x3= $600) *PCGA-BP2EA*

4: VAIO bag made for this computer.
($49) *VGP-AMB1*

5: Sony Studio Monitor Series DJ Headphones, the best headphones ever!
($149) *MDR-V700DJ*

And i'll also throw in a Netgear 108mbps wireless card.
($79)

Everything adds up to $3,780........... The only price that has obviously changed is the actual computer, because I bought it almost a year ago.
Just PM me a reasonable offer, I will ship, and I am not asking too much.

Thanks,
Alex

Sorry, with my camera when I used the flash, parts of the computer came out blurry from the flash hitting it, but here's a picture where it came out pretty decent with the flash.
