Is it worth buying a 2 year old gaming laptop,

[nick1302]

My brother bought a $1,300 gaming laptop 2 years ago. He's selling it, and asking $900. I'm just planning on playing runescape and maybe wow.

That depends on what kind of specs it has.

But usually... gaming laptops that are 2 years old don't pull $900.

He said he'll go down to 700. Does that seem worth it?

What about $700?

It's not a bad shout at $700 if everything still works and you don't want to buy the latest and greatest.
