What's my 1yr old laptop worth new now?

    My laptop has seen better days. In terms of speed and performance, it's pretty much everything I need, I don't need anything better so if I was to get a new one, I'd be happy with the same spec.

    This is my current laptop. I think the price on that page is a bit much as I think I paid less in EURO nearly 2 years ago for it. Can anyone recommend a cheaper machine with the same spec? If I was to change one thing, I'd make it a non widescreen as I prefer the higher resolution of the non widescreens.

    Any advice appreciated:)

    That seems pretty similar, the processor is 2.2ghz

    Definitely not remotely near as what it's being sold for there. That processor is very low end these days and often found in the 500-ish market, low amount of ram but a decent video card saves it a bit, I'd say 500-600 worth depending on where you sell it.

    If you don't play games, you can get a machine with a faster processor, more memory and a worse video card for about 600. Not as stylish as the aspire though maybe...
