So here we are 18 months later and he’s decided to sell said laptop

any idea what it would be worth secondhand?

No clue what it is worth, just a shout out that Trademe has free listings until 11.59 pm tonight, if they want to put it up for auction.

Good rule of thumb is find the cheapest new one with equivalent or better specs and then 70% of the cost of that.

This is the way, sadly predictable though - expensive lesson!

Go one step further imo, build the gaming PC from parts learning how it all works including OS setup and optimisation for gaming.

Easier than ever with good youtube guides these days.

Depends on how urgently he wants to sell. And how lucky he gets...

I would say he shouldn't expect much over $2k.

If he has kept it in good nick he might get lucky and sell it to a engineering grad who might want it for CAD etc.

Unfortunately 13th gen Intel CPU’s have the widespread vmin issue that will affect his chances of selling. Anyone who knows about it will ask for a lesser price or a warranty guarantee.

If he manages to sell it and wants some advice on building a desktop then post back here, I’m sure most of us here can help out on recommendations. Pretty sure we were at that stage in life too building our first rigs, we just now have experience from age :)
