    I'd say a ballpark of 1200.00 - Probably not even that. Nobody is going to pay retail for a laptop, even if it's barely used. If they wanted to pay retail, they'd get it from Dell.

    really its brand new though? not rarely or barely used but never used. I saw one on ebay that doesnt have some of the specs or the 3 year accidental damage. sell for 1400, im looking for $1600, configured on dell's website its around 1900 including tax.

    That's just being silly.... I'll give you $2.00 :D

    That way, I can strip it down and put the battery, the USB 3.0 daughter card and the monitor (if it has a three wire antenna in it) into my M11xR1.

    Get the body chrome plated, then it'd be worth something, otherwise it's just another second hand notebook.

    ASUS has released an Ivy Bridge ready motherboard.

    So why would I pay top dollar for an obsolete notebook when in a few months Ivy Bridge notebooks will start to be announced. (First few months of 2012)

    Tick, Tock.
