Hi Team,

 

 

 

I purchased this device on Friday last week and decided it is not for me, I also do not want to be stung by PB Tech's 20% re-stocking fee hence putting up for sale here.

 

 

 

It has 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, i7-1165G Processor - as well as the 500 nit dreamcolor display.

 

 

 

Looking for $2000 ono. 

 

 

 

Located in Wellington, has been factory reset and is in new condition too.

 

 

 

Thanks,

Just not a big fan of the keyboard, not used to such a short travel especially from using a mechanical keyboard everday. Managed to buy a Surface Laptop 4 which has the keyboard I was after in a laptop.

Hi there - very interested as I've been waiting for a decent price on a 15.6 Elitebook G6 or G8 from PB TEch but nada for a while; I reckon I'd be ok with the smaller screen/lack of numeral keys of a 14" unit, given it'll be tethered to a dock/external monitor most of the time.

 

However before committing I need to be sure that the three-year warranty on your computer is transferable on sale - can you confirm this/provide evidence this is the case? 

 

Edit: Also, do you have the spec sheet of this specific model you can either post or DM? It's really not helped by PB Tech's typical half-arse spec list, for example no mention is made on that page of the screen brightness - you mentioned above this is the 400 nit model, whereas I understand standard ones are 250 nits.

 

Also, can you please post or DM me some photos of the computer?

 

Thanks.

Not to go OT but if you really paid $2385 for this based on your link, and PB Tech has a 20% restocking fee as you also said, then it means you would get back $1900. So (based on the facts presented only) that would be better than selling it for $1500.

 

 

 

Of course you might have other details that you didn't disclose that affect this situation.

Yeah this went by the wayside and now it’s past the return period. But it’s now Sold.

Thanks,
