Laptop

[Nufilth]

I have an Alienware 14 laptop that is not in very good condition and I am trying to sell it in order to buy a new computer. Should I sell its parts individually? Or attempt to sell it as a whole? Or just trying something completely different.

 

Thanks

I have absolutely no clue. I am not particularly experienced in the selling of computers/ computer parts.

If it is socketed, you remove it from one computer and put it in another computer. Like on a desktop. If another laptop has the port, it will usually take the chip, unless the system BIOS is locked down. He has a socketed CPU; somebody could buy it. I don't know if his GPU is MXM or not. His RAM can be sold. His HDD can be sold. Same for his Wifi chip. He could likely even sell his keyboard as a replacement for another M14x R2 user.

Do you recommend any sites that  I could use to sell these parts at a good price?

You could try the NBR Marketplace over at Notebookreview's forums, but there's some standards you need to follow to sell there, and there's no guarantee someone will want your hardware. You honestly have fairly weak stuff.

OK thanks.
