No idea, but if you list the specs, I can give you a ballpark figure (I'm sure others can to).  A quick search really didn't turn up anything useful.\n\nWell, considering the condition it is in (if we are talking about hardware issues) though reinstalling Windows may fix some of those problems, I'm guessing you'll get $175 to $325 for it.  The reason is that newer (and faster) laptops can be had for around $450.  And that $325 figure is pretty far out there, you more than likely end up with something around $250 for it.

Man talk about the trash talk on Dell. I have a Dell Latitude that I paid for 235 bucks and it works good. I say if you realy want the best I would get a laptop with all the works.. Now if you want somthing good and it works get the dell C600 Latitude..

I wouldn't turn my back on it. It always depends on price and anticipated use.\n\nThree of my friends have recently picked up a brand-name notebook, 1GB RAM, 100 GB hard drive, built in bluetooth and WiFi, DVD burner, Windows XP Home, AMD 1800 processor and 15 inch screen, external (USB) floppy. It has been selling here for US $999, no rebates. That's been the cash register price.\n\nIf what you are looking at is $200 less, I would say they are equivalent values.\n\nAs for use, yours is quite adequate for standard business use and home computing. For graphics manipulation or gaming it is a bit of a lightweight. If it's significantly cheaper, US $600 or less new from a good local store, I'd go with your selection. It sounds like yours is a respectable, competent machine. Only your preferences and pocketbook and availability in your area can say for sure.

All Dell computers are less expensive.  I don't think you should overlook its performance over price, but get a computer that can handle the task you choose to perform on it.  Try visiting a store just to inquire what you exactly need.  I paid a lot more for a home PC than i really needed.  All that bundled software and 1GB of memory, I'm sure I'll never really use as I use my laptop more.

I don't know, why'd you buy a Dell? Don't they use Refurbished parts for all the laptops except Latitude? I personally don't like Dells. If you got money, go buy an HP.

I'd recommend avoiding the Everex and get the low end Dell if possible.\n\nThe price CAN'T be that much less. The Dell is $499.00 and we have one. It will serve you fine for a while.\n\nhttp://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&kc=6V440&l=en&oc=DNDWDA1&s=dhs

Really depends on what it will be used for. Processor is okay as well as the memory. Pretty good size hard drive and okay video card. Again it really depends on it's primary function. Overall, I would say it's a pretty good deal. Also, check out www.deals2buy.com and they usually have Dell coupons on there and that might help save you a few more bucks.

The best quality laptop for the money is the Dell, Inspiron serious. You can get an excellent, fast laptop, with plenty of memory, for around 500 dollars. I have a Dell, and I think it is excellent. I have tried many of the top brands, and nothing else even comes close to Dell.

Depends on what kind you want, what you want with it for memory, monitor, laptop or desktop...etc\n\n\n$500 to the 1,000's

From my experience, I feel that Dell laptops are excellent in dependability and style. Toshiba is also close behind, though I really dislike the Thinkpads due to design, lack of service, and the overall layout. Gateway does not offer great laptops as it has combined with eMachines... so yea, its out of the running.\n\nI would suggest avoiding Tablet PCs mainly for the fact that they are just out a little bit ago. Might want to give Microsoft a little time to sort out their bugs. I bought one from Bestbuy two monthes ago and returned it two weeks ago because I felt it was rather useless, there is not much you can do with the tablet that cant be done with a mouse. Plus the idea of touching a screen so many times and having to clean it later on does not appeal to me. If you need to draw notes, I would stay with photoshop or paint, as working with a tablet pc is not as easy as you think, and no, the fold-up processes is not as easy as it looks in those comercials. As well, these tablet pcs usually end up costing a good 500 dollars more than one of the same performance without it. \n\nThe bottom line for your usage in my opinion would be the Dell Inspiron Notebook 9400 (after you customize it, its probably going to end up around $1500-$1600 US). It is not that high tech, though that is not needed unless you intend to really crank up gaming, plus it will save you a couple hundred bucks. As well, it comes with a nice silver design and 17" screen, and everything you basically need for university. You can read more about it at the site I listed below.

600$ is a tight budge, so you might want to look for a slightly used laptop. But good companies are dell, toshiba, and gateway. but quality over bells and whistles and you won't regret it.\nGood luck.

the processor is REALLY slow, screen tiny, video card is junk, all you can do on it is go on the internet, music, but not at the same time....homework. the Ram is good, but i would just buy a desktop that's a lot better for a little more.\naround 600 bucks you can get a good one that can run music and the internet well, but games will be ok...

HELL YEAH!  I looked into that laptop and for $700.00 you get a lot of features!  Perfect for Internet browsing!  GREAT BUY!

Dell is decent but if you want something that is going to last a long time and work well, go for HP. It is cutting edge and it works really well. There are lots of great free upgrades too.
