    MacBook Pro 13" Retina
    2.9 GHz i5
    8gb RAM
    500gb storage
    Some plastic cover case that's got zero marks on it.

    What's a good price? 1,400? 1,500? It's in mint condition.
    When did you purchase it? Does it have apple care or whatever it's called?
    Compare your model with others on eBay, etc. It might be in new condition but it's still "used". Based on your findings, I'd say price above the average due to its condition.

    Edit: To clarify, I ask "when did you purchase it" because there's a new model every other year with slight differences, some retain more value, some don't.

    Yeah, laptops lose their value fast. I bought Astylla new laptop almost 2 years ago, paid $1799.99 for it plus tax, I have it sitting on Amazon for 850 with no bites yet and the thing is a fucking beast.

    Being that it's a Mac, you can probably get 1200 for it on the high end.

    Macbooks will retain value better then Windows laptops since the specs don't necessarily matter as much.

    I'd probably agree with the 1100-1200 range, but check around to see what comparable models are selling for.

    Comparable laptops are selling for 1500 or so. I'm going to wait a month and get rid of it for 1400-1500.

    Nice Strom! If that's how your pics always turn out I feel your pain. My only camera (phone) is awful.

    Side note, I know we have a thread buried somewhere about showing off your desktop and what not. Would you guys like a new one started and stickied? Or maybe just sticky the old one?

    Assuming you're specifically referring to just the computers don't see any issue with just putting them in here. Wouldn't really drag down the thread with "off topic" posts.

    Yes. Or, if people use another site like Reddit or pcpartpicker to originally post (like myself) you can always post the link instead of cramming pics here. For instance, below is my current main build with pics, price breakdown (and how prices were obtained), and explanation as to why I chose each part.

    Contemplating building a new box even though I don't need one. I've been bit by the upgrade bug, halp BG halp.

    I'd hold off on building anything until the next wave of GPUs comes out here soon. Either for the sake of price drops on older cards or to get that new new.

    Personally, I don't think we need a life story for a PC build. That said, I'd be totally cool with seeing pictures of builds here. It's always interesting seeing what people get.

    What do you currently have?
    Will it bring you a major gain over your current specs in doing so?
    Could you spend the money elsewhere? I could fund a damn trip with a PC build, no lie.

    And I also agree on waiting for the new GPUs to come out (which is in the next few months, so).

    Yeah no, hold out lol. Maybe find someone and build one for them with their money.

    Shots were focused, I tend to have trouble holding the camera steady. Installing the RAM later today will give me an excuse to redo them though!

    Anything that I've read regarding the new GPU arcs refer to them all being ENTERPRISE grade and consumer grade to be trickled down versions to hit potentially late in the year.

    Thats what I heard about AMD's polaris. Pascal is supposed to be flagship gpus and some other non flag without HBM.




    I also have been resisting the bug for a loooong time. I have 3770k and a mobo i dont really like. 980 ti. I really want a new cpu + mobo but nothing really worth it. Waiting for cannonlake.

    The initial wave of Nvidia GPU's is supposed to be higher end, I think the cheapest (the 1070) will be in the $450 range. Nvidia isn't going to have HBM in this generation because apparently they're still having some issues with yields.

    AMD is believed to be more aiming for the mid range with the initial release of Polaris
