Quote from: George on November 14, 2023, 18:43:21Speaking of Apple hardware - what exactly is wrong with just continuing to use it?
Absolutely nothing wrong, obviously. As long as it suits your needs and requirement then why change? Fits all PCs, not just Macs.

Gosh, it is rather sad really that in 2023 "minimum" hardware requirements are 64bit CPU and 4GB of RAM. (ether or both of which kills off most older and/or low end PC's)

Almost comical that the article has nothing to do with the title - IE: None of the proposed uses work with Apple hardware.

Speaking of Apple hardware - what exactly is wrong with just continuing to use it?

This is being written on a 2013 MBP running 10.13.6!!

Apple has the best policy of hassle free trade-in. It's a good thing even if the trade-in price is low.

No other company offer this service for computers.

If that old laptop happens to be a MacBook your choices for operating system may be more limited. I just converted a 2015 MacBook Air to Linux and the only operating system I could get working was based on arch Linux. Eventually endeavor OS proved to be the one that would not only install and boot but also recognize the Wi-Fi adapter.

Well, you can always trade-in Apple devices or sell them on second hand market.

If you've upgraded to the new M3 MacBook Pro or a Lenovo X1 Carbon, take a look at some of the options for repurposing your old hardware instead of selling, recycling or sending to landfill. Repurposing old hardware can be a rewarding adventure that forms a core part of your home network.
