    Hi,

    As in the title I am thinking of selling my HP dv6 1299ea Artist Edition laptop and I am trying to figure out roughly how much it would be worth. Has anyone any ideas? It has just been fitted with a new motherboard as the previous one died but working as normal again.

    You're not going to get very much for it really! 200 tops, and you'd be doing well to get that.

    thanks for your reply Alanstrainor

    Can you give me a reason why it would only get 200 tops?is it just because it is outdated?

    Outdated, prone to failure(motherboard), and just poor laptops really. They were never a great spec to begin with.

    Id imagine the battery doesn't last very long at this stage? What's the general condition like?

    Laptops are one of the worst things going as far as trying to sell them on after a few years. No one wants them, and the technology moves so fast that they're completely outdated the second you get them. It sucks I know!:(

    Ya I know I wish I was more knowledgeable when I bought it. The spec at the time I thought was quite good but comparing to today obviously isn't. Ya the battery's capacity is about 60%. Condition is very good not much cosmetic damage done to it.

    What would you recommend me buying for my next one to prevent me falling into a trap again of dodgy motherboards or overheating and all that kinda stuff?
