Like another comment down below mentions, companies toss away perfectly good laptops after a year or two, which can be bought in the ballpark of 150-300 quid/euros/USD. They'll last 2-3 years on average, and even longer if you aren't into intensive activities. Just go to some IT guy in a multinational - I remember my old firm had stacks of ThinkPads piled all the way up. Some companies even have old MBPs at hand.
- xyst 6y agodoesn't even have to be a "multinational" company, any entity that buys computers in bulk can be a candidate (local schools or a small business). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EATdYG7h9IQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EATdYG7h9IQ apparently a private school is Aussie land was going to throw 100 of these MacBooks into the dumpster/landfill. They were intercepted by someone else and this person received 15 of those MacBooks (I guess he just paid for shipping and handling?). After repairing them, he had 11 functioning computers at the end of the video. The other 4 were salvaged for parts or something like that.
- johnny22 6y agoa local computer store sells such machines for $100-$200 USD that are clearly from old offices/schools. You can tell because they're all the dell optiplex. My father is using one of those.
