Re: Looking to sell my laptop, have some questions
AdamB is right...no store is going to "buy back" your notebook now. Your only real option is to sell it to an individual buyer.
With what is on the computer, the older non-Santa Rosa class CPU, smallish (120gb) hard drive, which would now be on the lowest priced notebook, and Intel 950 (very poor) integrated graphics, and that it is at the end of any warranty, used...no such thing as "like new", almost new, etc....it is after all a one year old laptop, so used it is... in terms of U.S. dollars (sorry, I am not familiar with going rates in your area)? Maybe $500 tops. I would not even go that far, personally.
I know that sounds bad, but for $600 USD, I can buy a notebook better in every category, brand new, with a warranty. Mark-down on electonics even a year old is simply brutal... 
That is NOT to say that this is in any way a bad/poor notebook, just the realities of the marketplace. Stateside, I could nab a current Santa rosa class Core Duo, with GMA 3100 graphics (still slow, but better than the 950!), 3 gb ram, 160 - 250gb hard drive, 15.4" screen, for around $600. Maybe the market is better where you are however! I bought my current laptop in november '07, and already I could buy a model with better features, and a lower price...bummer, but that's the way it is with tech stuff...
