    Acer Timeline U M5

    Windows 7
    Intel i5 2.3Ghz
    22GB SSD
    350GB HDD
    Nvidia GeForce GT 640m 1GB

    It's an Ultrabook so the battery still lasts 5 hours easy... Longer with light use. The screen is also 15.6" (unusually large for an ultrbook)

    I think you'd be doing well to get that price! Very outdated processor/socket type and lower end graphics card, decent storage and other accessories but hard to make up for a weakish core (CPU+Card)

    Depends where you sell it, but I'd say ballpark €400-ish.

    Anywhere between 130 and 160-ish is what they usually sell for.

    A US site valued my Labtop at around $265 so roughly 200 yoyos. What i was thinking.

    "Depends where you sell it, but I'd say ballpark €400-ish."

    Just saw that really that's a heck of alot of money for a 4 year old Labtop. Wanna sell it fast due to new self build incoming from Germany.I did pay €960 i think back then.

    Sorry, wherever I was looking at was different hardware. I didn't realise it was a 1st gen i5 now that I look at the link you've given. I thought it was a 2nd gen i5.

    Still though, it's easily worth more than 179. I would say you'd get 250-280 for it on adverts.ie or donedeal.

    With that 5650 you'd still plod through some games OK.

    It's not what it's worth, it's what you know someone will pay for it.

    I'd say 400-450 would be fair for it. FX6300 is 2-3 years old now. HD7850 discontinued. A better PC could be built for €400 so...

    .

    8GB MB RAM? Should that be 8GB RAM?

    Could you post the Celeron model number, or approximately how old the computer is. There are a lot of Celeron processors with that clock speed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 857 ✭✭✭Polar Ice


    Separate to my last post, why does it seem like so many people post relatively new (or even store specs)?

    Perhaps update the first post to give guidelines (e.g. for anything under 6 months, subtract X% or add up the parts value using Y website)?

    *Partially broken Asus K53Sd*

    Battery isn't charging and there's a problem with the (I think) power jack. Basically if the power socket is nudged it turns off.

    Specs are: Intel Core i5-2450M 2,5GHz
    6GB DDR RAM
    500gb HDD
    GeForce 610M

    Any ideas what it's worth - even just as parts?

    Thats still a new system spec. You'll find those specs in stores right now. Its worth the store price or just add up the component prices.

    And subtract ~10%. Even though everything is new, any buyer is up shít creek with no warranty if a component fails because its second hand. Same as the second you drive a car off the forecourt its worth way less.
