    HP 17t-k200 looking for a fair value

    I am giving this to as a donation for taxes. What is the fair value for it? It's clean (noting wrong with the screen or inside, typical minor scratches on top and bottom, one corner has a minor crack when a bellhop dropped my bag on the hotel floor from waist level, the MacBook Pro in the same...

    Looking for a budget laptop $300 or so

    No microcenters in Florida. Costco was having some great HP's in the $299-399 range. I bought two at $299 (14-df0023cl, i3-8130U, 4GB, 128GB SSD, 1920x1080 IPS, backlit keys and decent sound) that I added 4GB more ram, a 512TB NVMe to each, and a couple of real intel wifi cards I picked up for...

    Looking for a budget laptop $300 or so

    They currently have an HP Pavillion G series 584037-001. It has Windows 7, so ancient like 11 years old. I don't think sticking an SSD and some more memory in will help. Costco usually has good HP deals, but nothing is showing now. Waiting for them to get back with me on size and if...

    Good compact laptop with numeric pad for $2-3k?

    Dock is great along with other peripherals if you are a desk warrior. If you are mobile having a numeric keypad hanging off the machine can be a PITA esp if you want to use a mouse. Add in your phone charging and/or some earbuds and many laptops run out of USB ports. I am happy with my P52...

    True but that costs a USB and makes lap work awkward.

    Recommend a general all purpose desktop replacement laptop (15-17")?

    I have a 17" Envy the form factor is a PITA to use anywhere that has limited space, esp airplanes.

    Recommend a general all purpose desktop replacement laptop (15-17")?

    Picked up a mint P52 with 110 days of warranty left. 8850H/32GB/4K....came with 500GB, but I swapped to 2x2TB SX8200 Pro NVMe. Running 0.140 undervolt and its quiet.

    $2K budget (could go higher). Looking for 14-15" numeric pad, good screen, some power

    picked up a Thinkpad P52 with 100 days of warranty left, keyboard and screen never used...always connected to external monitor and keyboard. 8850H/P3200/4k/32GB/500GB. Tossed the 500GB drive and put in two SX8200 Pro 2TB drives :) Playing with fan settings now and may underbolt.

    Good compact laptop with numeric pad for $2-3k?

    Not sure if I could get by without the number pad..looking for a mobile powerhouse, but still want it managable (maybe 5lbs). Good screen is important. I don't game, but I'd like to be able to. Mostly network engineering apps including office and adobe photoshop. I don't really game, but...
