    Here's the story: I'm an avid slowpitch softball player with some extra bats. High end bats are like high end golf clubs and can be pretty expensive.

    Anyway, I've got a possible trade on the table on another website of one of my bats for a laptop, but I don't know anything about laptops so I want to know if I'm getting a good deal or not.

    Here are the specs:


    Dell Latitude D610
    How much would this laptop cost if I were to buy it in the store?

    Would I have any problem with some video games on it (I like Diablo 1 & 2, Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, KotOR, IWD 1 & 2, for example)?

    I really appreciate any and all help here guys!

    All the games you listed except KOTOR should run fine on it. I can't give you an exact value but the laptop shouldn't be worth much. It's old, I'm guessing 5-6 years old. Brand new I wouldn't pay more than $300 for it (or even $250) but if it's been used for over 5 years I just wouldn't bother with it at all, as it would be nearing the end of its lfietime anyway.

    It stinks. Most likely an old company laptop that has been replaced.

    60 gb of hard drive space is enough for windows and one or two games, nothing more.

    I see not graphics card so gaming might be impossible
