That is a nice laptop. There is a used Asus G73JH in my town for-sale.
I will look into that one then!

And as always, when it comes to buying from someone locally, ask a billion questions and make sure you can do a few things: use it plugged in and on battery, check wifi, and most importantly make sure you can see it handle an intensive game. If there's not one installed, bring one with you (I would suggest this just in case, anyway). If you aren't careful, you'll just end up with someone else's problem while they have your money.

When I sell game-capable laptops on Craigslist, I preload them with something that requires an account (WoW, Diablo 3, and now Guild Wars 2). WoW or GW2, especially, since they're portable: you can throw it in its entirety on an external hard drive and then copy it over to the laptop you are going to check out.

Oh, and if it has the HD 5870 in it, it's even better than the 460m.
