A couple of month Pre-pan our Computer Support vocational training department intercepted 2 dozen Dell E5420 with i5-2520M CPUs on the way to electronic recycling. We upgraded them to 1TB SSD and 16GB memory, half Win 10 half Debian 10.5. Post-Pan, they became our workhorse remote training platform even running both Hyper-V or Virtual Box to teach virtual installations. Admin had budgets for new laptops for remote teaching. Nothing offered had the specs to replace these upgraded 2012 vintage machines. (Budget was repurposed).
