Need help determining list price for replacement

[unipenguin]

Well, Delta insisted that I gate check my beloved ProBook 4540s because the jet was so small. Yes, you guessed it , when I opened it up when I got to the hotel, my screen is cracked.

I filed a claim and they have requested the date that I bought it and the list price at that time. Honestly, I can't remember any of that. I know that it's old, but I love it. We've moved a few times in the last years, and I don't have any clue where my receipts would be. Does anyone out there happen to know when these came out, and a ballpark retail price? I know that we bought it around my birthday in June after it was released, because I thought the fingerprint scanner was so cool and the screen was so pretty. 😣

I believe it was released in early-mid 2012 and priced at approximately $729.If you can remember if you purchased before Christmas it was probably mid-late 2012. If it was after holidays best guess would be early in 2013. Hopefully they will settle for a guess-timate.

 The listing here is a good example to show claims what it will require to replace it:
