How much is my laptop worth? I'm wanting to sell it because I bought it so I'd be able to game while at college. But, while I was here, I was able to build the rig in my signature and it owns that laptop. So, now I want a laptop that has a better battery life than 2 1/2 hours since my classes accumulatively account for more than that.
Here are the specs:
Purchased: April 22, 2007
Dell E1705
17 inch UltraSharp TrueLife Wide-screen WUXGA
Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7200 (4MB/2.00GHz/667MHz)
2GB, DDR2, 667MHz (2 Dimms)
256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS
120GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit
8X DVD+/-RW Drive
Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy
Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g
80 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module (2.0+EDR)
Has 1 year warranty on it (obviously voiding here soon) and it originally cost me $2040.51. It's in great condition, although the word "Inspiron" on the backpanel is almost completely gone. No obvious scatches, very minimal ones if you hold it at the right angle underneath a good light source.
I'm thinking around half the original price? Something from $950-$1,100? I'm planning on using that money I get for it for the newer, smaller laptop.
It's a great gaming lappy though, handles Call of Duty 4 very well at 1440x900 all high settings. As previously stated the battery life is about 2.5hrs if just running Microsoft Word and internet/music/messenger. Turning the wireless off adds about a half hour to the battery life. I'll also include the Vista disc and driver's disc that came with the laptop and I'll reformat with a clean install of Vista Ultimate.
