secondhand price for Sony PCG 8 Series

Can anyone tell me how much a Sony Vaio PCG 8QDM laptop is worth secondhand. I have been asked to pay £125. There are already some programs loaded on but I am not sure if I will get these program and the operating system for this price. I think it has built in wireless internet as well?
Any advice please

    pcg-8qdm also known as vgn-a115z.

    Most sony lappys do exactly what they say they do and for that reason hold their value reasonably well. However, this was a short lived model and that makes me a little suspicious.

    I would suggest you check out the Ebay prices (If you could find one) but if it were me, I think there are more sensible options for the same money.

    As a laptop engineer, I have looked through my sony manuals and do not have this one which is unfortunate because now I gotta go get one :)

    Have you any specs on this lappy. If so, please post them for me.

  • I can't find very much info on this laptop at all. Nothing on ebay. I do like it and would like to buy it but just need to know if £125 is ok or not - Many thanks for your reply

    You like it and it is a SONY. So it will do as was expected of it.

    £125 will buy you what you like. Is a bargain :)

    Seriously, it is a Sony and there is always help out there. Im a naturally suspicious person and this is where my doubts were. If you had simply said I want to buy a 5 year old sony laptop for 125 I would have said you cant go wrong.


    Hope this helps
