Ibm Thinkpad R51 3+ Years Old

[crockett]

Hi,

I have a IBM Thinkpad R51 (2888 BQA) which is now becoming of age (bought it in September 2004).

It has a genuine Win XP Pro SP2 installed and during last year I have upgraded it to a 100 GB

drive and 2 GB Ram. The machine is working fine, never had any problems. However, for video

editing which I do quite a lot, it is too slow and I am thinking of buying a new one.

Nowadays, with quad core processors becoming standard very soon, would it still be possible to sell

it at a reasonable price? I payed US 2K for it back in 2004. How much would I get for it now?

How much would I get for it now?

Don't know maybe you can get a good trade in at Panthip Plaza... try e-bay?

What do you have in mind?

I'll give you 10% of the purchase price...

Are you aware of the prices of todays laptops?

I am writing this on a R52 bought it just under 1 year old, harldy used with XP Prof on it... for 12K!

Yes Samuian, I am aware of todays laptop prices, that's why I am wondering for how much

I would be able to sell it. IBM is still considered high end, so I actually would expect a

little more than 200 US. Is 400-500 realistic?
