I've never heard of a trade-in on computers unless you meant a company like Dell or Gateway, I think I heard once that they do tradeins... but I think only on their own products.
You can e-bay it or put it up for sale on your front lawn

Good thing at that.HP/Compaq laptops are junk.And their customer service is horrible.You WILL be speaking with someone in India.
Toshiba customer service I can't comment on.Never needed it in the 4yrs I owned one. |

I work in the IT industry. Laptops are generally the bane of my existence in the IT industry. Laptops are a PITA to deal with. Hence the reason I don't eagerly expect to own one for home or personal use.

Yup, I can see why. Don't forget that sometimes a PDA can do just as much as a laptop can if you just want immediate access to your emails and is probably easier to handle while you're on the road.
