Useful computers. New opportunities.

FOR ORGANISATIONS AND DONORS
Replacing computers? Think reuse first.
If your business or organisation is retiring laptops or desktops, some may still be suitable for refurbishment and donation. We can discuss options before useful kit is sent for disposal.
- Desktops and laptops in workable condition
- Information about the model, age and specifications
- Data removal and sanitisation requirements
- Whether equipment meets the needs of the recipient
EXTENDING USEFUL LIFE
Older doesn't have to mean obsolete.
Where appropriate, installing a current, supported Linux distribution may give an older computer a useful second life for web-based learning and everyday tasks.
Not every computer will be suitable for a school or for Linux. We assess the device and intended use before making recommendations.
