the price on the compaq is okay i guess. most of the opinions are from 13-14k. but the acer... hmmmm... its kinda depressing. the reciept i have says its 32k at octagagon bought last dec2007. so the unit is still under warranty till december. the unit is still 8 mos old and its value is already 50%. hmmm... upon check IFS on diff sites celeron M 1.7 wold cost around 16-17k on an average. dont the units get extra credit for warranty, still with reciept, complete set with box, new "Gem" model of acer, hindi nakaw na unit, with DVD writter, glass screen, updraded 1gig ram, gub battery, etc. so how much extra do i have to charge on the resale value? or is it just me that i cant face the fact that celerons are just on that price level? hope u guys get what i mean that not all celerons are of equal value. like now i have a toshiba but with celeron M 1.4 and it would be okay for me to sell it at 13-14k because its a year old unit and its an old model laptop.
