I have an old laptop that I’d like to get rid of. I’ve repurposed its SSD and RAM. It has an HDD on it, but it’s so old, that it probably shouldn’t be used anymore. A screw doesn’t fit properly, so the chassis is a bit bumpy on one corner. But it works just fine. (Has an 8th gen i7 in it.)

I already have home-servers etc., so I just want to get rid of it. What’s the most ethical way of doing it?

I’m currently living somewhere in southern USA, if that’s relevant.

    Without ram it’s almost cruel to donate it to places that have no clue wtf to do with it. Many will just chuck it because “it doesn’t work”

    But an 8th gen i7 is good enough that plenty of people would be interested for the right place. List it for cheap on something like FB Marketplace. Don’t offer it for free on there.
