How much is this laptop worth in todays market?

[davideugenepeterson]

I bought this laptop a couple of years ago for $1600 and was wondering how much the price has changed. Here's the specs:

Model: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium x64 Service Pack 1

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 460 @ 2.53GHz, Socket 989 rPGA, Max CPU Speed: 2533MHz

Memory: DDR3 [PC3-10600], Installed: 8192 MBytes, Max: 8192 MBytes

Video: Integrated Graphics Controller && ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650

Hard drive: SAMSUNG HM640JJ 640.1 GB 7200 RPM

Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 144B, version 65.2E

Battery: Designed capacity: 55080 mWh, Current capacity: 44928 mWh @ 100% ) (That's about 10-20% wear level I think?)


I'm not looking for an exact, i'm looking for an estimate. Not sure if this is the place to ask, but thanks in advance.

Probably close to 500-600$. The only thing saving that computer from less than 500$ is the graphics card since thats a 5650.

Would adding it has a 17.3 inch screen and Blueray raise the value any? If so, how much?

Maybe another 100$ depending on the screen's resolution. 1080p is always better than 1600x900 for example.

Resolution: 1600 x 900 x 4294967296 colors
Monitor: Year: 2009, Model: LP173WD1-TLC3, Size: 17" (38 cm x 21 cm), 1600 x 900 @ 60 Hz - Aspect Ratio 16:9
Optics: hp BD ROM BC-5501H

I believe it is the older USB system (2.0)

Sorry for stretching this thread longer then it needs to be last one I promise: Final price with everything in consideration?
