What people will get:
A low to high end range refurbished laptop
Linux Lite preinstalled and set up with your user details (submitted via an order form)
All updates and drivers installed - nothing to set up, unbox it, start using it straight away
90 day warranty
There will be 3 models available: low end, mid range, high end
Typical specifications start at:
Model A: (low end)
Processor Intel Core2 Duo @ 2.0GHz
Memory 2GB Ram
Hard Drive 80GB 5400rpm SATA
Optical Drive Slimline DVD-RW
Wireless 802.11 A/B/G
Screen Size 14.1" LCD
Screen Resolution 1440 x 900
and go to:
Model C: (high end)
Processor Intel Quad Core 2.5GHz
Memory 8GB Ram
Hard Drive 500GB SATA
Optical Drive Slimline DVD-RW
Wireless 802.11 A/B/G
Screen Size 15.6" LCD
Screen Resolution 1600 x 900
This is both a way to support the project whilst helping the environment.
Assuming you wanted one of these, what would you expect to pay for either Model A & Model C?
Hey Jerry,
I saw this post and thought i should share what refurbished pcs are going for in Minnesota....
Desktop (no screen)
Single core AMD 3.0 ghz cpu
DVD Burner
80gb Harddrive
1gb ram
Ethernet only
Internal graphics (yes it can play youtube videos perfectly)
This sells for $50 with a 14 day warranty at our local Boys and Girls Club Thrift Store. All proceed of anything sold there go to local charity.
The desktops sell as fast as i can put them together. There even is a waiting list for people buying these pc's.
The desktops were all going to a dump (almost 80 total) after a local school decommissioned them all, so i decided to refurbish them all and donate.
Now there not only making money for charity, but not being thrown in a landfill.
I can provide a picture of the display soon.
Hope this helps.....
