Just googling it, a new one with half the HDD capacity costs around $1600. Looks like a decent deal given you know how it’s been treated (which can’t be said of Ebay. One problem with laptops can be a deterioration of battery life. You can still use it permanently connected to a power point but if you need mobility you might need to replace the battery at some point. The audio issue might be addressed by headphones but maybe the company can get it fixed by the IT Dept as part of the deal. NB: I’m not a computer guy, so hopefully someone with more knowledge will respond. Cookie is right: check EBay to get a sense of the 2nd-hand price.
