    Yeah, it is a good all-around laptop for internet, entertainment, office applications and light gaming.

    It was priced ~ $600, brand new, two years ago. If it looks good and battery life is still good (~2 hours), it could be worth ~$250-300. If battery life is less than 1 hour, take note that a new battery could cost you ~$100.
