Hi, everybody. So, another question has risen, and I am wanting to you what you did with your old computers. The computer can be a desktop computer or a laptop or both (very odd why you would combine the 2). It can even be an all-in-one!

I take them to the range and fill them with bullet holes.

Give it to someone with little money
Give it to one of the grandkids
Repurpose it into a house firewall box

Depends on how 'old'.

That is EXACTLY what I did with my old laptop. That thing was the most trashy thing since 512MB ram+AMD Athlon64+Windows 7!!! Really, I ran Windows 7 on that thing. The trashy part started after a final downgrade to Windows XP. That laptop is DEAD.

Sometimes I will refirb them (If it's worth it) and sell them.
I also give them to my brothers to have fun with.
Like the still working ThinkPad A22m.

Keep a few good ones as loaners, give them to Seniors, sell cheaply, tear down for parts

I recently got 2 old laptops from someone. I'll probably take one of them apart since I don't have much experience with laptop innards and an old one is good practice, while the other one can be a travel computer since it's a mini. That, and it's good to have a backup since I always break my personal laptop quickly it seems
