This is the best time to buy new. You can find great deals at both
Staples and ofc max / depot. I would think you can find something
comparable for about $229 this time of year.

My daughter's Dell D620 seems to be dying. I think the screen is

Had that issue come up several years ago in Riverside, California. Off
to the repair shop and wait for a new display to be put in place.
She has one more semester in high school, then off to college with a
shiny new Macbook Pro. Sort of a family tradition as her two older
sisters went down the gray path and abandoned Linux for iOS when they
went to college. I read there will be another generation of Macbook
Pros out this summer, so I would like to wait to buy her that new Mac
until after high school graduation...plus relatives always chip in a
little extra to mitigate the sting of the Apple price tag...;)
Anyway, does anyone have an older laptop they are willing to sell that
is comparable to a D620 (Core duo processor T7600, 14.1", A couple of
Gigs of RAM)?
If you are unable to locate a replacement, search for "refurbished
laptop" and check the results. Some of those outfits are set up to
look for specific laptops by brand and/or insides. One result showed a
shop in Mesa.

Is there a place that older laptops go to be refurbished and resold?
Does anyone have any experience with Device Pitstop (2827 W. Peoria
Avenue, Suite 100-A Phoenix,)? They buy and sell computers.
Thanks!
