    I have a T60 that has no more battery functionality; the mainboard doesn't charge batteries anymore so the laptop only runs on AC power.

    I'm wondering if there is still value in it if I try to sell it. I'm not much of a gamer but StarCraft 2 is coming out, do you think this laptop can run it decently?

    System Info:

    System Model 2623D6U
    1.8GHz Centrino Duo
    1GB RAM
    72GB HDD
    ATI Mobility Radeon X1300
    Purchased around Summer 2006

    You shouldn't expect to run modern games on nearly 4 years old laptop...

    And no, it won't run it well if not at all.

    And I don't think it has a good value on it. After all, it's 4 years old. Probably 200 is the best you could ask for.

    A working model like yours retail for around $300 AUD. If you are in USA, then don't expect much more than 150 USD for this.

    SC2 on it maybe playable at low resolution, just barely.
