Default Computer question

So next month I'm moving into a hella tiny apartment. My current apartment is small enough as is, so I'm going to have to get rid of some stuff. Was thinking about getting rid of my desktop and getting a nice laptop. Would be a huge space saver if I didn't need this desk in here. My question is, how much would my desktop go for? It's uh, kind of unique. I also have an older laptop that I'd like to sell to maybe put towards a newer, better one. I've gamed on my current laptop so I'm not super concerned with Desktop vs Laptop gaming. I just want something that will run well and not take up a huge ass amount of space. I'm not too computer literate, so I'm not sure what's good and what's not. How hard would it be to sell these?

Thoughts?

Desktop
The desktop is an all-in-one PC. 24 inch widescreen. Super clear. Has decent speakers attached to it.

I would say you could sell it for 300-400$ on Craigslist. Maybe a bit more or less but i feel pretty confident with that price range.

I agree with Slyfox, I worked at best buy so I'm kinda okay at guestimating prices for computers, I'd say 300$ish, 400 tops. Not sure about the lap top though I'd guess the same price range going by the ram/hd/proc

Forget anything anyone tells you about laptops and just realize 99% of them have godawful screens on them that do about 200:1 contrast ratio. The only laptop I would consider buying released in the past X years is either an HP dreamcolor (extremely expensive with IPS screen) or a Dell equipped with an RGBLED screen (RGBLED not WLED) or a Dell equipped with a 120hz 3d screen (3d just means it runs at 120hz instead of 60hz, these screens also look way better in color and contrast then the normal shit-tops).

The dell RGBLED screen was a $100 upgrade option for a while then they ran out, dunno if they have them again yet. If they don't, buy a Dell XPS17 Laptop with a 3d (120hz) screen.

The ones I mentioned will do something like 700:1 contrast ratio while all the others will be like 200:1 and look terrible.

Make sure to get one with an Nvidia 300, 400, or 500 series GPU (or ATI 5000, or 6000 series). Using the built in intel GPU won't run games too well.

I think macbook screens were doing like 400:1 contrast, so better than normal laptops but the Dell RGBLED were better.
