Analysts have warned Windows 10 end of life plans could spark a global torrent of e-waste, with millions of devices expected to be scrapped in the coming years.
Research from Canalys shows that up to 240 million PCs globally could be terminated as a result of the shift over to Windows 11, raising critical questions about device refreshes and the responsibility of vendors to extend life cycles.
Business laptops are also a huge source of secondhand computers that are also very popular with Linux people.
I would say I’m looking forward to a bunch of cheap stuff, but most businesses with those setups have already rotated away from computers that won’t run Windows 11 anyway.
