So my dad gave me his old Laptop. Is an HP G42-372LA. The specs are:

>CPU: Intel Core i5-M450 @ 2.40 GHz
>RAM: 8GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 532MHz(It originally came with 4gb)
>Storage: 698GB HDD (Tried to install Linux Mint on dual boot but only allows 4 partitions by some reason)
>1366x768@60Hz screen

It has some overheating problems (the fan is running at a lower speed) and the battery only has 20min of life. Plus, it's running Windows 10.

Should I sell it in this state? Or fix it and keep it? What do you think?

Speccy

Can you get enough from selling it to buy a used or old stock business laptop?

Really depends on how badly you want/ need a laptop I guess.
If you decide to fix it up and keep it those specs seem to be perfectly fine for just shitposting/ light web browsing the only thing that will hold you back is that display resolution my man.
If you decide to sell it in it's current condition or fixed up a bit (heating problem/ fan fixed) I would then take the proceeds and put it towards something else, so really it just comes down to how badly do you have a laptop.

Also as >>60713508 says, if you can afford it when selling take the proceeds and purchase a used business class laptop, most of /g/ will bitch and whine about Chinkpads but if you get the older ones their tough as nails I've had mine for 4-5 years now without a single problem.

Whoops typo

Nah, I just want the money. My dad gave to me because he brought a MacBook for himself and we just moved, so I'm waiting for my desktop PC.

>>60713566
Well in that case if you fix the overheating problems and just clean it up all around you should be able to sell it rather easily, I guess it just comes down to where you live and what market you go through to sell.
>>
>>60713595
Ok, let's say I fix the overheating problems. How much I should sell it? $100?
>>
>>60713623
I don't know, look at local listings for the same laptop or similarly specced computers and go from there.
>>
>>60713656
Well, thanks I guess
>>
>>60713667
>Thanks I guess
Hey fuck off man.
>>
>>60713623
Hundred bucks is way over the odds. I'd keep it as a shitposting machine, you won't make cash worth having (especially after fixing it)

Don't be a cunt
