[vekor07]

I was thinking about selling my e1705/i9400 laptop. I was wondering about how much it is worth currently, it cost $2,000 to build when purchased.

E1705 *Centrino Duo*
Processor: Intel T2600 2.16GHz Core Duo
Motherboard Chipset: Intel Calistoga i945GM/PM
Hard Drive: 80GB 7200RPM SATA (Hitachi TraveStar)

Screen: 17.0" UXGA TrueLife (1900 x 1200 pixel resolution; glossy screen)
Graphics: nVidia GeForce Go 7900 GS 512MB
Optical Drive: DVD +/-RW with DL DVD+R write capacity
Battery: 6-cell Standard Battery
Wireless: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (802.11 a/b/g)
6 USB 2.0 ports
IEEE 1394 (FireWire)

VGA out (monitor out)
S-Video Out

Windows Media Center and all OEM software (Works, Symantec, Recovery disks) also comes with a (Dell) Windows XP Pro Sp2 disc.

There isnt currently a warranty on it, but I did check with Dell and if you want a warranty you can pay a re-enstatement fee of $50 + the cost of warranty and your back in business.

I'd say probably $1000-$1200 or so, check eBay for similar laptops. My business machine (so far) hasn't moved yet and its $1600 with a three year warranty left.

No warranty is usually not good.
