What would you do?
As others have said, you might want to ebay it. If you put into a google search string the words "ebay" "type of computer", you will come up with some interesting historical information on previous ebay posts in regards to your laoptop.

I was involved in international trade for almost 10 years, in that time I used to purchase used computer systems and laptops from colleges, businesses and other sources, have them refurbished and then sent them to Jordan, I was able to make a better profit margin even after shipping, and specially considering there is a free trade agreement between the US and Jordan. If you accumulate a significant number of systems, this might be worth looking into. You can always contact the state department to ensure your proposed business transaction is legal, and also the US Embassy in the country you wish to do business in, there is a foreign business rep at each embassy. They almost always retain a list of businesses that have contacted the US Embassy with a desire to do business with Americans and American companies.
