    Since Im looking to get a XPS M1730 shortly, I will probably sell my current laptop. However, how much should I be asking for??

    The specs are...

    Dell Latitude D620
    Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 (2.16 GHz)
    256MB NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M,
    4GB DDR2 Memory,
    160GB SATA (7.200rpm) Seagate Hard Drive,
    Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g & Bluetooth
    8 X DVD+/-RW Drive

    To be honest, Im thinking of removing the HDD and keeping it to add as a second HDD for the new laptop, so I may buy a 80GB or 100GB HDD to replace it with.

    I also thought I may make a little more if I remove 2GB RAM and sell that seperately on eBay??

    What do you think?

    No more than $500 - $600 I would think.. considering the prices of the D630's on Outlet.... selling the RAM separately and machine separately will probably give u more $ but not a lot more... you could always hope for a buyer who has not done a lot of research :S

    I sold my e1705 for $940 about a month ago. Your specs are better.

    My e1705 was:
    core duo 1.83ghz
    2gb gskill ram
    60gb hdd
    gma950
    no bluetooth
    dell wifi
    sony dvd writer
    and it was in SUPERB condition.

    I think I did good. LOL. How old is your laptop?

    edit: I kinda miss it, it was a great computer. At least I can buy a new one. LOL.

    The laptop is about a year old. Its in excellent condition (I look after my kit!).

    I even have a brand new replacement keyboard for it, which I will fit before I sell - so it'll be as new!

    Oh also, it still has about 2 years left on its warranty - if I sell the laptop can this be transferred to the new owner?
