The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    In general, it is better to part out or repair?

    I have a couple systems. Let say an m18x r1 I have:

    4x2gig ram (50?)
    256 ssd by samsung (200?)
    dual 6990 (300 each?)
    screen is perfect looking (150.. 200?)
    keyboard works (25?)
    daughter board (50?)
    casing (50 to 100?)
    motherboard is shorted...

    could this fetch 1k parted out?

    more importantly... is there any chance a buyer will come around some time soon on this sort of stuff?
