Yeah this is a mac forum but I'd figure it's worth a shot.
My school had a tech fair and today I won a brand new dell laptop. They took the laptop out of its packaging so they could get a picture of me holding it so it's basically brand new.
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo (1.66 GHz)
2 gbs of ram
wireless card
Express card slot
HDMI out
webcam
dvd-rw
Windows Vista Home Premium
The computer lists 2 formated hard drive partitions, one is 100 gb and the other is 10 gb (a back up partition apparently)
*also came with noise canceling headphones and a Dell backpack
While I am happy to get the laptop, my dilemma is that I don't know how to use Vista and have been a mac person for a long time now. Additionally my pismo suits my laptop needs. I could really use advice as to what the laptop is worth and would I be better off keeping it or selling it. I've checked the price of similarly spec'd laptops on ebay and they seem to fall in the $850 range used. Also the waiver I signed said the bundle was valued at $1,000.00. I figured this would interest someone who needs a nice Dell laptop and I am open to trades, so let me know
