Trading a desktop for a tablet or laptop...
    #16736786 -

I was kind of surprised no one I know wanted to do this, and its been sitting on craigslist for like two months and I update it all the time...


Its nothing fancy, and I'm not looking for anything fancy. Mines an Acer Aspire X3810, which I know how to take care of a PC, I even offered my damn desk and monitor, speakers,etc..


Do desktops suck ass compared to a tablets and laptops now'a days or something?

edit: typo

I have a laptop, I use it fairly infrequently, it's good when storms come and knock shit out.

Short of that I really despise laptops/tablets.

Too hard to type... I know you can get accessories like a keyboard, mouse and numpad but then it's just a desktop with a tiny screen that overheats like a motherfucker.

Buying a used desktop has way more uncertain variables regardless of the hardware stats. Selling it is of course going to be more difficult than selling used portable computers.

Just be sure to carefully consider what you wanna use your computer for. Meaning the amount of power and uptime. I have a high end laptop with great battery life, which still fails at any proper gaming and i wouldn't wanna use for any serious work.

Desktops are way cheaper to make then laptops and they perform faster,cooler,and longer. Laptops are very expensive unless you get a really old one like a $60 dell with a squarer screen :P.  I took a glance at your computer and I couldn't tell exactly what the specs ware, but right now computer parts are just super cheap right now.  Like if I shoped around on ebay I could build one as good as yours for around 200-300.  I think you would be better off finding a new latop or whatever you like and then selling your computer on ebay.

I've been thinking about selling it, Its actually listed as for sale or trade for a laptop or desktop..

But I really don't like doing this large of a trade online D:
I guess paypal would have my ass though.

Looking at specs looking at specs....
That might be worth about $100.

OP You must realize, prebuilt (HP/Dell/Acer) desktop computers are generally trash. Acer is actually a little better than the others though.
But it is still built with cheap OEM parts, and the lowest grade possible pretty much.

No one in their right mind is going to trade a mid or high end laptop for a low-mid range prebuilt desktop.
Even a low end laptop would cost much more than that system. I mean you might get lucky, maybe.
