What should I do with my old laptop? - GoFuckYourself.com

Evil Chris · 02-27-2008, 08:24 AM

It's pretty old and slow now.
It's a P4 Toshiba. I know I'll never use it again as my primary, so I'm looking for suggestions as to what I could do with it. Suggestions?

Scott McD · 02-27-2008, 08:26 AM

Piss on it...

pornguy · 02-27-2008, 08:28 AM

Use it to run smaller tasks on that you dont want to tie up the other machine with.

Submitting galleries, editing videos. stuff like that.

Lycanthrope · 02-27-2008, 08:31 AM

Put Zenwalk Linux on it and it will give it new life.

Sosa · 02-27-2008, 08:33 AM

Keep it for a backup, never know when you might need it

G.A.F · 02-27-2008, 08:34 AM

Let your children (or nephews) play with it or learn how to type correctly.

Doctor Dre · 02-27-2008, 08:36 AM

ebay it, you can get good prices for old laptops.

L-Pink · 02-27-2008, 08:37 AM

Use it for surfing diseased websites.

That's one thing I actually considered, is to put a new platform on it and maybe learn something new.

Another suggestion I got was to donate it to a shelter.

Casa Nova · 02-27-2008, 08:47 AM

Put it in a fed ex package and send it off to me

lol

I'd say the same as the other guy. put linux on it and learn some new stuff.

SayWhut · 02-27-2008, 08:51 AM

Paper weight

Nazgrel · 02-27-2008, 08:52 AM

Rebuild it into a picture frame. Hang it on a wall displaying your favorite pictures

Paco, of Large Cash. · 02-27-2008, 09:59 AM

- donate it to your version of CNIB (institute for the blind), or an equally deserving institution. We donate all our old systems to the CNIB.

or

- make it your firewall.

I would not waste my time with eBay. Why bother for the few pennies you'll get.

CaptainHowdy · 02-27-2008, 10:01 AM

Donate it definetively...

Quagmire · 02-27-2008, 10:04 AM

give it to your son to use. He needs to grow up a power geek.

baddog · 02-27-2008, 11:59 AM

Mine came in handy as a backup when my primary died for 12 hours.

NyLoS · 02-27-2008, 12:04 PM

same problem here, every time a computer gets slow I buy a new one, now I have 6 laptops and 5 pc's just sitting here, all my friends and family already have a used laptop or pc I worked on for a few months... I think I need more friends :-/

Jman · 02-27-2008, 01:00 PM

Lace · 02-27-2008, 01:36 PM

Holly · 02-28-2008, 07:37 AM

Most of the schools and youth programs around here have some type of "cartridges for kids" program that takes ink cartridges, laptops, cell phones, dvds, video games, etc. They turn them in and get cash.

AssPirate · 02-28-2008, 07:52 AM

give it to me...hahaha...put it aside and use it for back ups or give it to someone who will have a use on on it...

comeplay · 02-28-2008, 07:59 AM

Lace · 02-29-2008, 03:58 PM

I love all the people "give it to me"

Now do you really think that'll happen?

Ron Bennett · 02-29-2008, 04:36 PM

Put it up on eBay.

NOT!

Seriously, giving it to a relative or donating it are likely the best options.

Be sure sensitive data is cleared off, especially if donating to a charity; data can hide in places that aren't readily accessible in a Windows system...

Ie. index.dat files - to delete them, one first needs to open a DOS window, stop "explorer" (no relation to iexplorer which too may likely be running) in the Task Manager (do not close the window), and then locate and delete the index.dat files. Glossed over some details about index.dat, but the point is a lot of stuff can be left lurking - likely not a big deal, but could be depending on what the computer was used for / contained.

Again, giving to relative / donating is likely the best option ...

If deducting on taxes, be sure to get a written acknowledgement of the dollar value of the donation, which is now required regardless of the amount. Even cash (ie. collection plate at church) now has to be documented, but I digress.

Ron

KILL_FRENZY · 02-29-2008, 04:52 PM

Donate it to some 3rd world countries ....

rowan · 02-29-2008, 06:54 PM

Put it on your kitchen bench and wait for someone to steal it.

I had an ancient Pentium 133MHz laptop stolen from my home, about 7-8 years old at the time, and got a brand new business grade one with all of the nice stuff such as bluetooth and wifi a/b/g as a replacement from my insurance co. Unfortunately the thieves missed the little 486sx25 laptop with 4MB RAM and 120MB HD (I am not kidding) that was in another room.

Ebay it, keep it as back up, If it can run for some prjects might as well keep it unless you have too many around you think your going to lose your mind.
