What is this laptop worth?

[trainergames]

My work has had an old display laptop sitting in the back for a couple of years,and i am thinking of making an offer and trying to get it cheap,but it would help to get an idea of what it would be worth.

 

It is a Alienware m14x,and the only specs i was able get from looking at it, is that it has an i5 2400u and a 750m.

 

Now it does have 2 problems,they have lost the power cord(cheapo one is $12 on ebay,OEM is $35 on amazon),and the keyboard is missing a few keys($25 on ebay).

 

 

What do you think it is worth,and what do you think is the most i should offer?

Something of similiar specs but newer hardware, and at retail price is 500-600 USD. Since it's already going to need 60 USD fix, I'd say no more than 300 USD if that.

I would say $100 and at most $150.

You can get nice brand-new 14" Haswell laptops with 1080p IPS screen for $300.   So I'd be hard pressed to pay more than $100-$150 for this machine.  Probably needs a new battery.  So unless you're hooked on the cachet of the Alienware brand, its not worth much.

Canadian Prices, Skylake/Kabylake, Haswell/Broadwell all in i5 flavor. Remember that $1usd is worth $1.30cdn, or shave 70% to revert.

So that means $200usd, minus the broken shit on your laptop. Slice another $100, so $100usd for that laptop is being generous. However the 750m GPU must add some value.
