Depends on the condition. But Notebooks & Tablets have come down in price a lot over the last 18 months. Your machine is simply not worth much more than $1000 anymore....especially without full warranty. Sorry.

I would say 1100-1200 tops, for the same reasons that RogueMonk specified.

I think your way off with the $1500. My new 17" core2 duo 2.0 with 2GB and dual HDD's was less than $1500 brand new.

Plus, the tablet market is much smaller than general notebook market.

I say $1000 tops, likely less than that though. Try ebay and set a reserve price - see what happens. That'll give you the true answer of "what's it worth".

tablet pcs are much more expensive than normal notebooks with the same specs. for example, the base model for a new fujitsu t4220 is more than $1700 and usually comes with some 60 gb hd and 512 mb ram and slowest processor. this may be used, but is much more powerful than almost any tablet you can get for $1500 (in fact most tablets don't even have a base price for this range). i don't think that op can get $1500, but i can possibly see someone willing to pay this price for it due to the high premium on new tablet pcs. anyway, the real deal breaker is the new 14" gateway tablet that has come out that has a base price of less than $1000. this will most likely kill your chances of getting anything around $1500...though it is a good bit heavier than your pc.
