HOW TO KNOW A LAPTOP’S WORTH
Here are some methods that you can consider to know the acceptable worth of your device.
NAME-BRAND LAPTOP
The pricing of your old laptop is much easier if you own a name-brand laptop. Yes, if your laptop is from a well-reputed manufacturer then you can evaluate its worth effortlessly. Just check the laptop brand, the series, and the model of the laptop, and then search online whether the device has any marketplace or not. If the sale of your laptop has been discontinued then it’ll affect the value of your machine. For sure, then your laptop will be less valuable.
- TIP: Search famous online laptop selling websites like Amazon to check the current value of your laptop. That’ll be your reference market value.
With the help of the above-mentioned steps, you can find the value of your device, but in most cases, these prices are higher than the actual price. In such situations, knowing the damage degree of your laptop is a good option. i.e. your laptop is damaged from some areas, or there are some obvious scratches or marks. After that discount your laptop as per damage degree.
- BONUS: If you own all the accessories of the laptop like an AC adapter, a wireless keyboard/mouse, etc. then add the value to the estimated discounted price. Also, increase the value if you have the original packaging of the machine.
ESTIMATED WORTH BASED ON SPECIFICATIONS
While determining the worth of any laptop, the foremost thing to do is to determine its specifications. You can get this information from the manual, can determine it from the computer itself. In case you know the brand and model number then you can search the specs online as well.

The brand and specifications of the laptop are linked and when combined can make or break the worth of your laptop. If you are selling an old model, keep the price by considering both aspects (age, battery life, and condition also matter), and if you are buying keep these two aspects in mind and pay accordingly.

If your laptop is customized by yourself as per your needs then you can determine its value as per the hardware components utilized in that laptop. i.e. CPU, graphics card, RAM, extended storage, etc. Also, donot forget to check the laptop’s availability and market value online before estimating the cost as per installed components.
