- Accessories: original Alienware box, laptop sleeve (got it with my old M18x R2), 90 degree power cord connector (very neat gadget)

First the bad:

The little plastic clip holding down the connector that powers the power button and notification lights broke (pieces included) so I had to tape down that connector. Fortunately that connector does not need to be disconnected when disassembling the laptop (unless you want to specifically remove the notification lights board).

Now the rest (all good from here):

- Screen is in great condition: no scratches or dead/stuck pixels as far as I can see
- I installed Windows 10 Home using the original Windows 7 key since it's still free to do so before the end of July 2016. The buyer can choose between Win 10 and Win 7 this way.
- Warranty will be transferred to the buyer, obviously. Current warranty valid till May 2017. Might be possible to extend further since the maximum should be 5 years from what I know.
- I had put Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra on the CPU and GPUs. For safety I've also used electrical tape to form a barricade around the dies to prevent leakage. Having said that, it's been a while and I would recommend the buyer to use a fresh coat of paste.
- Priced at $999.99 for the benefit of US buyers.
- I will do any necessary legwork for shipping but will ask the buyer to bear the cost.
- International shipping is okay. I'll find out about required custom forms on my end but the buyer should be aware of potential duties/taxes.

Edit 7/10/16 3:18p: grammar
Edit 7/10/16 9:52p: noted vBIOS version
Edit 7/13/16 6:25p: updated photo showing full 16GB memory installed. I'm expecting to close the deal today though..
Edit 7/14/16 12:01: Still available.
Edit 7/18/16 10:38: Still available. For shipping calculations with original box, please use 20 lb with dimensions 30 x 20 x 8 inches. US shipping is quite cheap but rest of the world varies by country.
Edit 7/19/16 6:33p: Dimensions should be 30 x 20 x 7 inches. Apologies for the error.
Edit 7/20/16 3:09p: The hammer has fallen. Thank you all for your interest and support!
