Whats my laptop worth

jozi

I'm looking to sell my laptop over the next few weeks and was wondering what you think its worth.

Spec is a follows:

Asus M6Va (V70Va)
* 1.73Ghz Pentium M processor
* Ati X700 128Mb 15.4" Screen
* 1.5Gb DDR2 PC5300 RAM, 1X512 & 1X1024
* 60gb Hd and 40gb Hd in a removable tray that swaps out with the Dvd drive
* DVD+-RW Dual Optical Drive
* BlueTooth module
* Intel 2200 Wireless
* Laptop bag that came with it
* its about 5 months old, got few marks on the cover, screen is scratchless
* Battery does me on average 4-4.5Hrs
* Dummy tray for when you dont use the dvd drive or 2nd hd

What you think it could be worth? I'll not mention how much i paid for it yet as im curious how much i might loose on it.

Nice machine. 900-1000 I'd say...maybe more...

You will loose a lot! Laptops do not hold their value as much any more since you can get them almost as cheap as PC's!
I know my Dell P4 3.06 ghz with geforce 6600 64mb i got in sept 2003 is worth feck all now... compared to what i paid for it. I paid about 2k or so (with 4 year onsite on special) 2 months later you could get laptops for below a grand and soon after €700 Still mine is very fast even by todays standards so will not be selling any time soon.

I originally bought it because i needed it for college which is over end may, i still have 2 more years after this to go thou.

Now my friend is looking for a laptop and he said he'd buy mine. I'm not likely to need it over summer as i have a better spec pc and it wont get used much if at all (bit of a waste really).

If i would sell it that would mean i lost about 60odd euro a month on it.
And i would need to look for a new one before september. (Those dual core cpu look interesting :cool: )

Going to give this a think over i think

More of a case then that you got the use of a laptop for €60 a month - glass half full / half empty sort of thing.

I think im better of holding on to it. Nothing wrong with it tbh.

Bit more storage and a better wifi module is all i really want for it.
