How much is my laptop worth?

These tables are what we pay today for a Windows laptop with each processor, in each condition. They come from the same prices as our quote form, so when one changes the other does too.

What sets the price

Four things, and the processor matters most.

The processor. Its family (Core i5, i7, Ryzen 7) and its generation set most of the figure, so an 11th generation i5 is worth more than a 10th and a 14th more again. Windows shows it under Settings, System, About, and our specification guide walks you through it.

Condition. Excellent means it works perfectly and shows only light marks. Good means it works but looks well used, or the charger is missing or isn’t the original, which catches a lot of sellers out. Anything else is Faulty: a cracked or dim screen, liquid damage, a battery that won’t hold a charge, a dead keyboard or webcam.

Screen size. The tables are for a screen of 14 inches or more. Under 14 inches takes a fifth off.

The brand. Most brands are priced alike. Fujitsu, LG, Sony and Toshiba are worth a fifth less; Alienware, Asus ROG and TUF, Acer Predator and Nitro, Gigabyte, HP Omen, MSI, PC Specialist and Razer are worth a fifth more, and on any gaming laptop the graphics card is added on top (more on selling a gaming laptop).

Laptops worth little or nothing

Intel Core processors from the first five generations, and Celeron and Pentium chips, fetch a few pounds at most, and some nothing at all. The form tells you before you send anything. If that’s where yours lands, laptop recycling is the better route, with the data wiped first.

Broken isn’t the same as worthless, though. The Faulty column is lower, but a recent processor still earns real money even with a smashed screen, and selling a broken laptop explains how we value the parts.

Prices for your model

Each brand page lists the models we see most, priced for the processor they shipped with: HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus, Acer and Microsoft. The rest are on the full brand list.

Valuation questions

Why is my quote lower than the table?

The table is the most we pay for that processor: Excellent condition, a 14-inch screen or bigger. A smaller screen, a missing charger or a fault brings it down. The form shows the figure for your answers before you confirm anything.

Do you pay more for extra RAM or a bigger SSD?

No. We price the processor, the screen size and the condition, so 32GB of memory gets the same offer as 8GB in the same laptop. Upgrading one before you sell won’t raise the price.

How long will my price be held?

14 days from the moment you confirm your order.

Will these prices change?

Yes, as newer laptops come out and older ones fall. The tables and the quote form read the same prices, so what you see here is today’s figure.
