Found a used W520 with a 2860qm, 1080p screen, and an M2000. All for only $399+$1 shipping
Should I pull the trigger /g/?

Maybe for $400 it isn't terrible, I was very disappointed with my W520 though way back when I bought it new.

This post smells of pretentious hipster.
*20 keyboards were very lackluster, I'd take a newer chiclet with decent travel over those mushy abominations any day.
I'd stay away from laptops desu. I bought a used HP Z220 (i5-3470k, 4gb RAM, 400w psu, and a decent motherboard that isn't searchable even on HP's website.) for $200, and slapped on a GTX 750 ti OC edition for $120 more, and I can run Battlefield 4 on ultra at roughly 80fps. Also bought a RII RM400 keyboard/mouse combo for $25 more, just to keep the Jew mentality going. Overall, best investment for the price by far.
I snagged a HP 8470w for $250 with a similar processor and an m2000. Screen is only 1600x900 though. My advice is to hunt around a bit more. Is that screen worth $150 extra?
I'm not as big a fan of the keyboard on them, but the dell latitudes seem to have the best screen options for that generation of gpu and cpu (you know what I mean).

It's a good laptop just don't expect to be carrying it around too much.
