*HP dm3 (1XXX series) Owners Lounge*

Hey, I'm in Turkey for the rest of the month now, with the DM3. The DM3 here with 2GB ram, SU4100, and a 250GB HDD, goes for about 1700 Turkish Liras, which is about $1000 U.S Dollars.

I got this laptop for a really good price, and when I mean really good, I mean it with free overnight shipping.
Now would it be worth it to sell this laptop for about $700-800US Dollars here a day or two before I leave?
When I get back to the states, I can purchase another DM3 model or maybe the DM4 models. Ahhhh Give me some ideas!!!!!!1

I would sell it, considering you can get double the specs for that price in the dm4t

I paid about $530 incl. shipping for my DM3 SU4100 4GB 500GB 7200rpm when I was in Florida in February.

The same notebook costed about 700 euros in the Netherlands.

The DM3-1044nr is still for sale on Ebay for about $570 now, not very cheap in my opinion.

[XDViPeR]

Price seems so tempting, Phil. The price is 1700 Turkish liras = 852.824121 Euros
and thats about $1101 US Dollars.

If I can sell it for around maybe 1200 Turkish Liras maybe even 1000 Liras, that'd give me $777 from 1200 liras.

If anything I can also get one of those new Toshiba's that I've seen in Bestbuy, and can wait a couple weeks after I come to the states for the Back to school sales.
What do you guys think?

I'd go with what nikeseven said, if you don't have any problems with buying a dm4t. For the price, you can get a much better spec'd laptop.

You should also consider though that the HP DM3 is more portable and looks better.

[XDViPeR]

Yeah, the DM3 is more portable and I like that it doesn't have a DVD drive, so keeping the weight to a minimum. I'll go to a couple of shops and see what they offer me. Also since I have the American keyboard, I don't know how they are going to use it or maybe not even give me an offer.

[Wintermist]

Sure DM3 is more powerful than a netbook, but it's old and weak technology compared to DM4t.
DM4 is far more powerful and faster, and can handle a lot more heavier work than DM3 can.

[nikeseven]

XoticPC has an Asus that I would consider equal to the Dm3t(but it does have the newer Intel i Core's). [No Built in DVD drive/13.3" led/under 4 pounds/switchable graphics] All for $820 USD

ASUS U35JC-A1 - XOTIC PC

That Asus model has slightly better graphics as well.
