old laptop

Do you have a few old, dusty beige-box computers kicking around that you’d like to turn into money?

Or perhaps you’d just like to get rid of them, but you lack the means to dispose of them properly?

Well, if you’re in the US you’re in luck: Apple will now recycle your old laptop or desktop PC and its monitor for free — and if it’s worth anything, you’ll even get an Apple Gift Card in return.

In addition, your old iPhone or iPad can now be returned for an Apple Gift Gard, too.

Linux.com: "Whether you are upgrading components for a system refresh, selling an old laptop on Craigslist, or recycling your desktop PC, there comes a time when you have to wipe a storage device in preparation for giving it to someone else."

Worldlabel blog: "If your laptop is getting long in the tooth, there is no reason to rush out to buy a new one.

Instead, you can relegate the most demanding computer tasks to your desktop machine and use your laptop to run applications remotely."
