A freind of mine has a Sony Vaio pcg-fx101 and asked me to take a look at it in terms of upgrading. It's still in it's factory condition, both in terms of the condition of it and the hardware.
I've advised her that at 600Mhz, with only 64MB of RAM and a 10 GB HDD, it's probably not going to suit her needs for much longer and can't really take XP comfortably without extra ram - the avilability and cost of which I have no idea of.
She asked me how much she could get for it, to which my honest reply was "I don't know - I know very little about the value of all things laptop, but I'll ask around."
So, can anybody put a value on this thing?
Also, can anybody tell me how much a halfway decent second-hand laptop goes for these days? (min spec: comfortably runs XP, does some photo editing and can play video, reasonable storage space, and doesn't take three hours to load when it's installed properly)
