Sup Twinkinfo,
Thought I'd go ahead and ask this here as well as a couple other forums but I'm wanting to sell my laptop and get a surface pro 3 or maybe the surface pro 4 when it comes out this summer (hopefully). Any ways I've got a couple questions. The laptop in question is an Acer Aspire V3-771G-9441
The specs are as follows:
17.3" Full HD Screen
Intel Core i7-3630QM 2.4GHz w/ Turbo Boost up to 3.4GHz
NVIDIA GT 730M (4GB VRAM model)
8GB DDR3 Ram (Max 16GB)
1TB HDD
120GB SDD
Anyways I've got a couple questions. I've tried to find the same or similar laptops on Ebay to get some prices but have been unlucky so far. New it was $999 if I remember and this was in May 2013 so its now 2 years old. I'm thinking of trying to get ~$500-$600 for it on Ebay. In your unprofessional opinion is this a reasonable price? It has no scratches or dents and I still have the charger for it. Overall it's a great laptop for some mild gaming (runs WoD 1080p at medium settings and WotLK 1080p at max settings, Bioshock Infinite at lowest settings w/ 30+fps and will play Skyrim + mods 1080p with low settings)
Second question- Are there any decent websites that buy used electronics that won't totally bone you? I'm thinking Ebay is my best option but if there is a quicker option with a guranteed price I'd be tempted even if it was a little less than value.
Additional questions (sorry for the long post)- Who here has a surface pro, pro 2, or pro 3? How do you like it? I'm in engineering school atm and the note taking functions on it absolutely blow my mind and I can tell it has a ton of tools that most people don't even know how to use; so if I don't get a pro for the gaming potential then I'll probably get the new, cheaper surface 3 for school. I've seen people play WoW on the surface 3 and it runs fine on low settings and low resolution (i5 and i7, the i3 models don't run so well) which I'd be fine with. My current WoW playing is maybe 2-3 hours a week either twinking or playing 3.3.5 private servers, no raiding or max level pvp. I've been slowly growing out of WoW so I'm not too terribly worried about the performance although a future expansion could make it troublesome to run on a Surface. Only other things I do on my laptop is browsing reddit, watching netflix & youtube, torrenting music, the usual stuff.
Big TL;DR: What is my laptop worth, and what would it fetch on Ebay? Who here has a Surface Pro, Pro 2, or Pro 3, what do you do with it, and how do you like it?
Huge thanks guys! Awesome community here and I'm hoping to get some great replies.
