Depends on the condition, lets say its in very good condition with a few scratches and stuff.

I'd say about $800-$1000.

Well the "S" key is a little sticky (you have to press it a little harder to type), and the screen flickers when its a certain position (why i dont know all i have to do is move it and on it comes again)

What would be the price now in £?

I've quite honestly never heard of Patriot. But with the specs as is prolly around 900-1200$

Its the same as an Advent 7014. Im not sure why its called patriot, maybe they bought some off advent, improved it and sold it on.....

$900 - $1200 = £488.417 - £651.219

I've heard of Patriot memory, but never personally used it. And with those circumstances, id say its worth around $900 or so, which acording to elmarcorulz, is £488.417.

Well, it depends where u sell it at, but i'd really think 750-900 depending on a few more things, such as weight battery life, how old it is ect.

adobe photoshop cs2 is $600. all the software itself is worth more than the laptop.
