When buying laptops, buy a used old one at down to earth price instead of a new one, as 10 year old laptops function the same as shiny new ones.
Also e-Waste. I have at least 3 usable old laptops lying around which I purchased over last decade and used for year but don't anymore. But everything on these are perfectly working. The keyboard gets worn, the screen scratched. That's all.
