@spacehobo It is! I get people's old laptops given to me sometimes so I refurbish them and donate them onwards to a few local charities I'm in contact with.
I have 0 need for them, but a person being supported through homelessness can do a course and their admin on it if it can browse the web and do word processing still. There's simply too much tech out there now, and distributed all wrong

@Shrigglepuss @spacehobo and people are pushed into the wring compromises because they dont know better. The quest for thinner, cheaper laptops has led to compromises across cases, keyboards, thermal management, even using glue instead of screws. So people get conditioned to thinking laptops need to be replaced every few years. My main portable is my x230 from 2012 withmaxed out ram, screen and keyboard upgrades. Does everything i need aside from slowness on a few sites here and there.
