| 886912 | 2010-05-21 13:21:00 | A friend has one of these she was going to put on Trademe for a $1 reserve, having just replaced it with a nice Toshiba (at my recommendation). However I had a brainwave and thought the Acer (www.notebookcheck.net) might be ideal for another mate's daughter whose Dell D610 has just sucked a kumara. It's in pretty good nick (but slooooow!). Looks to be about five years old.. I know this sort of question is along the lines of "How long is a piece of string?", but could anyone put a fair-ish value on it? I have looked on Trademe and there are no others of that model up for sale... |

Congratulations, recommending a decent laptop. Now why would you want to inflict a worse one on her - tell her to replace the Dell with a Toshiba also. |

| 886915 | 2010-05-21 23:29:00 | I would - but the mate whose daughter it is for is a bit strapped for cash at the moment. I've started cleaning the Acer up (getting rid of the standard Acer junk programs) nad it seems to run a bit better. | johcar (6283) | ||
| 886916 | 2010-05-21 23:58:00 | If it's going from one person to another, just wipe it and start from scratch. Also, it couldn't hurt to chuck a lil' extra ram in it. Laptops from about then had bugger all (by today's standards). I just chucked a spare 256 info the gf's (doubled it), ran so much faster! | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 886917 | 2010-05-22 00:43:00 | Yeah - this one was reasonably top-end (for an Acer) when it was new. Has 1GB RAM, and is running OK now, without the rubbish they pre-install. But really looking for an indication of value so I can keep both friends happy.... So far just one recommendation aof around $100-$150.... |

| 886918 | 2010-05-22 00:55:00 | Well, I could see it selling on TM for between 400 and 500 It's not a bad specced machine for it's age... |
