    What is this Laptop Worth??

    Just getting back to the laptop for a second, the true value of a trading laptop is its reliability, not so much how fast it is. etc Unless your primary use is non-trading, you shouldn't even think about touching a used computer (even the barely used ones :) ) Its all about risk/reward...
