FS: A150, 8.9", 1.5GB RAM, Faster HDD

Hello,
Just checking would anyone would be interested in this:
* 1.60GHz Intel Atom Processor
* 1.5GB RAM
* 120GB HDD (7200RPM instead of original 5400RPM)
* 8.9" Screen + Webcam + Microphone
* Seashell White
* 3-cell battery
* Windows XP (came with linux so no licence key at the bottom)

Note: Warranty is voided I guess, because the clip under 4 LEDs is pushed in.
£ 399 + shipping

 

Anyone before it's off to eBay? I'll do £389 + shipping.

 

Bit expensive....

 

What could be the value of it, cos' I don't really know...

UPDATE: How about £299 inc. Shipping?

 

OK. For that money you can have AA1 with 3G:

For brand new model w/o 3G you will pay about:

That's current prices on the market and here is another clue:

In my opinion AA1 is not worth selling second hand. The value could be about £150 plus shipping I'm afraid. Brand new you can have for £200 (free shipping). Second hand you can have for £170 from Acer with 1 year warranty... Judge for your self...

 

7200RPM Seagate HDD w/ 8MB Cache, 120GB ( Upgrade from 5400RPM )
Kingston 1GB DDR2-667MHz RAM Stick and
Thermal paste instead of thermal pads to keep the heat down a little bit.
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Free Delivery

All for £299

 

you can get a brand new AOA150, windows XP version, with the new 7200rpm 160gb hard drive and 1GB of ram for £220, add a £10 1GB stick of ram and it's £230. that's £70 quid less than you with an official XP and a years warranty.

i think you need to think long and hard about what your AOA is actually worth, especially as you have even broken one of the keyboard clips, sorry

I agree with all the other posts as well.

Even in the UK, people are thinking your prices are high. In Canada, a brand-new AAO with 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 6-cell, XP with key, and the warranty, is only $389.99 CAN, cheaper if its on sale. Using conversion rate from Yahoo, that's about 217 pounds.

Most people wouldn't care about the thermal paste, as the Atom runs quite at a low temperature, and it doesn't really need it. Even if your hard drive is 7200 RPM, it's 40GB smaller than the one I listed, and it drains the battery more. Yours has a 3 cell, above has a 6 cell.

And then yours has a broken clip or whatever, which voids the warranty. Although you can't really put a value on the warranty, its a really useful thing to have, especially if you're modding.

Melhiore's pricing seems about right, 150 pounds plus shipping...Even then, not sure if anyone would buy it. Especially overseas. You're probably better off using local classified ads (e.g Craigslist, at least in Canada/USA).

Why are you selling anyway?

 

Never mind, it's gone! This thread can be closed now.
