WeX Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 As you can see from the title of this thread, I have bought myself a new laptop, well a new MacBook Pro and I'm thinking what to do with the Laptop? Its perfectly serviceable apart from a battery that is getting close to the end of its life, but if its plugged in, it works just as well as a desktop. Specification is as follows: Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 CPU: Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T9300 @ 2.50GHz RAM: 4.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 (5-5-5-15) Graphics: (1680x1050@60Hz) 256MB Quadro FX 360M (Dell) Hard Drives: 75GB TOSHIBA MK8052GSX ATA Device (SATA) Optical Drives: TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L632H ATA Device Audio: High Definition Audio Device This laptop came to me free, so it should go to someone who would have need of it also free. Can anyone give me any ideas of how I can give this to someone who would make good use of it? Maybe someone who otherwise might be without a PC? I'm thinking of maybe a family that has no computer for the children to do their homework on etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien52 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Welcome to the world of Mac.The thing to do now is to spend some time sneering at your old Windows device and then destroy it. Remember to invoke the spirit of St Steve as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeX Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 I have had a few PM's asking for the laptop but I really want to give it to a charity group that will insure its passed to the right person/family. I've found Lowtech but they appear to be pretty vague on who gets the equipment. Does anyone know of any charity I can take this laptop too?

Timmmy Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 You can take it to the British Heart foundation charity shop there is one at Crystal Peaks and they can resell it to make money for the charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeX Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 I would really prefer to give this laptop to a charity that would give it to someone who has no computer for what ever reason. Someone else, even a charity, making money from its sale, is not what I would want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
