Your current desktop sounds pretty standard with enough processor speed to do most average things. It should go well on eBay.
If you are using your machine for gaming, multimedia, etc. I would not recommend getting a laptop. Laptop's are for designed using small memory hogging software (Word, Excel, etc.), not high end graphics (which alot of games are considered to be).
If you can, go with ASUS. One of the best companies out there. Steer well clear of ACER, piles of shit.
