Alienware M17x R4 Laptop
Works fine but due to a hardware upgrade, the battery would drain, even with using standard 180W charger. However I have been able to possess a 240W charger which charges the battery well. Plays well. NOTE: due to prolonged use, a part of the keyboard (around the D key area) was permanently damaged and I have been unable to obtain a replacement. You can use a second keyboard to work around this. PC specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel i7-3630QM 2.4GHz (up to 3.4GHz)
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 980M (was a 660M before the upgrade)
RAM: 16GB DDR3 (off the top of my head)
HDD: Can't remember but I think it was 1 or 2TB
OS: Windows 7
I will also provide a DefenderPad free with the negotiative price, which is a radiation absorber for beneath the laptop. Both 180W and 240W chargers will be provided.
Selling due to not being used and have upgraded.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
